Actually had that one loaded lol
Hot take: Stevie is a genius for s*** but his music a lil too happy sounding on the whole and a lot of it sounds insanely dated compared to some of his contemporaries
He was a happy dude what can I say
Man he made some beautiful music to me. One of my favorite vocal ranges as well. Never had to resort to head voice because his chest voice could reach so high.
I always have Marvin Gaye to turn to if I wanna hear some depressing s*** from the 70s thats also amazing
crazy how prophetic now and then is and works on so many levels when it was prolly never written for anything seriously or anyone

man said you blind what u got to be happy about...
Lmao nah but it is off putting sometimes

they said mozart's music was too happy and light too
Also this tribute Stevie did for MJ at his memorial can still bring me to tears. What a hell of a performance

His first words to the mic have always stuck to me

Y’all hyper focused on the happy part! He has some tracks that sound very very stereotypically dated and that’s my man issue. Like songs so big you’ve heard them used almost as parody in media.
Superstitious for example. Dated sounding as s*** still a good song
The he’ll have some s*** like Knocks Me Off my feet which is mixed so cleanly and is so timeless it sounds better than a modern song

Stevie wrote that song about his wife that he lost and it means a great deal to him. Moreso then just about any song in his catalog, so for him to sing it for Michael was a big deal. And I know MJ passing greatly affected him as well. He knew MJ when he was just a little boy.


I miss when people could actually just sing. Sing their asses off. Kanye a sample genius.

Some dusty s*** coming from us but its true honestly. You dont get singers like MJ, Stevie, Marvin, Luther, Teddy, Prince, Whitney, Aretha, Bobby etc. anymore, you just dont.
And thats no disrespect to the greats of today, Different standards now. You really had to be about it back in the day.

studio time was really expensive, could only attempt takes a few times and then had to move on.. factor in recording equipment only allowing certain overdub amounts
needed a lot of technical skill and some imagination
