Stevie Wonder: Hotter Than July I really haven't heard anyone been talking about this album lately. This is the album I've been playing for almost over a week now and it is growing on me. I'm loving that whole album (with the exception of "Happy Birthday"). I consider this as a return to form of his 1970's peak, yet it sounds pretty different from those records from 1972's Music Of My Mind to 1976's Songs In The Key Of Life. I hate those dated synthesizer lines Stevie plays throughout this album. Has anyone heard this one lately? Check me out and add me on:

"Happy Birthday" is one of my favorite tracks on the album, as well as "Did I Hear You Say You Love Me" and "Do Like You". Andy is a four letter word. | |

I love this album. Last year I got rid of a lot of my CDs I was bored with(over 200) but I'd never get rid of this one. My favorite song on there is Cash In Your Face. | |

I love it too. Can't mess with Rocket Love, All I Do and Lately. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

 Best cuts on the album. I love the way Did I Hear You Say You Love Me bleeds into All I DO. The strings and vocals on Rocket Love are damn good too!  [Edited 6/12/05 13:51pm] | |

Me too. I love hearing that everytime I put it on. The strings and vocals on Rocket Love are damn good too!
Yes they are. I love how futuristic it sounds. I feel like I'm in another world when I listen to the song. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

What about "As If You Read My Mind", which is another one of my favorites from that album. Check me out and add me on:

I like that song too. I enjoy singing that song in my car. I don't think there's one bad song on Hotter Than July IMHO. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

Stevie entered the 80s with a strong,consistent album."Rocket Love","I Ain't Gonna Stand For It" and "As If You Read My Mind" are the highlights.The entire album is superb.
