From Rolling Stone:
Stevie Wonder's
high-flying musical experimentation and penetrating lyrical insight made Innervisions a textured, but never
self-indulgent, work of soulful self-discovery. Fusing social realism with
spiritual idealism, he brings expressive color and irresistible funk to his
keyboards on "Too High" (a cautionary anti-drug song) and
"Higher Ground" (which echoes Martin Luther King Jr.'s message of
transcendence). The album's centerpiece is "Living for the City," a
cinematic depiction of exploitation and injustice.
(Random thought: about seven years later, Wonder released an album
titled Hotter Than July. I don’t even
want to go there.)
