Stevie's 'Time': A Grand-Slam Home Run
Stevie Wonder doesn't kid around. Maybe he was nervous about releasing his first album in a decade, but he shouldn't have been. "A Time 2 Love" lives up to Wonder's high standards, and then some. I've had the pleasure of listening to "A Time 2 Love" since yesterday afternoon. (It's numbered, watermarked and set to detonate if I try to load in into my Zen Touch MP3 player, so I had to settle for listening to it on a stereo! Remember those?) I'm pretty sure this is the first review of it anywhere. This was an album that was due in June 2004. Stevie even appeared on "Oprah" and "Good Morning America" to promote it, and then pulled back. Several other release dates have come and gone since. If "A Time 2 Love" were a book, you couldn't put it down. As it is, it's hard not to keep dipping into the 15 tracks, going back to find the various bits that are so tantalizing. This is no Kanye West hip-hop clip job. Wonder has written 77 minutes of original, memorable work, full of hits, whether they're straight-out ballads, love songs or funk numbers. A couple of them we've already been exposed to. The high-charged "So What the Fuss," featuring Prince, has been out for some time. So has the love song, the hook-laden "From the Bottom of My Heart." Wonder performed the catchy "Can't Imagine Love Without You" at his Apollo show, and the Burt Bacharach-ish "How Will I Know" with his daughter Aisha at his wife Kai Milla's fashion show last week. Still, it's good to hear all of them, especially the latter, in context. But there's so much else here. Most artists would hope to have material this good over the course of 10 years. The album kicks off with an up-tempo song called "If Your Love Can Not Be Moved," which has all the earmarks of a hit single.Kim Burell, who's got a deep-soul gospel voice, provides counterpoint. "Sweetest Somebody I Know" is a mid-tempo love song with lots of hooks. It's crying out for a remix. Stevie should get Wyclef Jean to invent a rap to go with it. But it's the third track that cinches the album. "Moon Blue" is a masterpiece of a ballad, on a par with "Ribbon in the Sky" and "Overjoyed." Clocking in at 6:44, this lovely, bluesy number features a beautiful extended jazz-piano solo. Much of "A Time 2 Love" is about just that, love. But fear not: These songs are far more intricate than you might think. It's a pleasure just to listen to the music of Stevie's mind, to see where he's going or how he got there. There will be huge fans of "Tell Your Heart I Love You" (which I wish was the fourth and not the ninth track). "Shelter in the Rain" is the kind of socko single that could be a Grammy Best Song/Best Record nominee if it's pushed by Motown's Sylvia Rhone right out of the gate. In fact, with 15 tracks, Rhone could easily release simultaneous "singles" with "Shelter" and "If Your Love." The two tracks with daughter Aisha — "How Will I Know" and "Positivity" — are smashes as well. And the title song, with a fabulous guest solo from India Arie, closes the album on a note of topicality. The choices are vast. It will be cool to see what kind of videos come out of "A Time 2 Love." It might be interesting for some grade-A filmmakers to try to depict Wonder's imagination. In any case, Stevie has delivered an album on a par with all his classics. It was certainly worth the wait. Now let's just hope Motown/Universal can get it out to the fans quickly The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.
