If you are a fan of the quirkier, proggy 70s version of Stevie then perhaps this album will be lost on you. However, if you think that this is uncharasteristic for him you are wrong. This is the 90s version of "Back in the high life". Also a brilliant album.
The 1st impression I had when listening to this was that I felt it was too "poppy". But it grew on me pretty quickly. Usually music grows on me from the other side (losing it's complicatedness gradually). This album's lighter feel is much due to producer Narada Michael Walden and he has done a very good job.
The R&B roots of Stevie as well as his sheer musicanship along with Narada Michael Walden's modern Motownesque production makes for a brilliant musical experience.
Best performances are "Spy in the house of love", "I just wanna have some fun" and the incredibly funky "Let your love come down" (you just wanna get up and shake to that one!)
The other songs follow that mood and quality if perhaps sometimes a bit sparse on arrangements and a slightly restrained. I have a feeling some of the songs would come to life done live.
Enjoy!
