Innervisions

This 1973 release functions as a private record of the artist's internal life during a period of massive creative control. Moving from sharp social critiques to quiet, introspective songs, the project shows a musician in total command of his craft.

Synthesizers occupy the center of the recording, as Wonder utilized the TONTO modular system to construct dense, forward-looking arrangements. The resulting audio is both personal and broad, acting as a high point of his output at Motown.
