Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta

Released

Mostly written by Stevie Wonder, this is like a peak-era Stevie album but graced by the beautiful, distinct voice of Syreeta. Cecil and Margouleff get production and engineering credits as well as taking care of synth programming and the album is a unique-sounding blend of their synth work and a more traditional soul/R’n’B backing. The album is mostly lush, mid-tempo soul with epic ballads like ‘Heavy Day’ neatly predicting 80s ‘quiet storm’ soul. Ending on the euphoric, no-holds-barred pop-jazz hybrid ‘Universal Soul Of The World,’ it’s a quality partner piece for classic-period Stevie albums.
