**💭 Thoughts:** Usually albums as long as Stevie Wonder’s 1976 studio album Songs in the Key of Life are often more prone to flaws simply because their longer runtime leaves more room for them. Despite spanning a whopping 105 minutes, Stevie Wonder manages to keep the album’s weaknesses to a minimum, making it a very consistent listening experience. Aside from Stevie Wonder’s soulful vocals, I love the album’s jazzy, funky production, especially the basslines. **🎶 Tracklist Review** *Disc 1* 1.) Love’s In Need of Love Today 🔵 2.)
