A Soundtrack On Wonder's Brilliant Creativity
2007-03-11 - The soundtrack - released in May 1991 by Motown Records - is a great Stevie Wonder album. From the sprightly pop of Fun Day & Jungle Fever, to ballads like I Go Sailing and that classic R&W (Rhythm & Wonder), there is a lot of musical territory covered in the 11 tracks.
Wonder as torch singer on Make Sure You're Sure is my favorite, with the strings and his subtle piano solo to end the piece so impressive. The real spirituality found within the soul is explored in Chemical Love and - as with many of Wonder's songs - Lighting Up The Candles covers the emotional gamut surrounding shattered love.
Each Other's Throats is a classic expose on societal hatred from many angles, but the prior track - These Three Words - implores the listener to reach out to family & friends while you are still able to do so. Fun Day is a nice summertime song and full of optimism, while Gotta Have You has a wicked beat that really brings out the lyrics.
The compositions are solid, which makes Jungle Fever: Music From The Movie a soundtrack on Wonder's brilliant creativity.
'Gets stronger as the album progresses
2005-03-05 - There is no denying that Stevie Wonder is a musical genius: he's a singer, a profound lyricist, and an accomplished master of several musical instruments, all made more remarkable because of his blindness. He has never let his "disability" keep him from "seeing" the good and bad of the world.
This album, though not in the same league as his 70's triumphant quintet ("Music of the Mind," "Talking Book," "Innervisions," "Fulfillingness First Finale," and the Grammy-winning "Songs in the Key of Life"), is a mixed bag.
It begins with three forgettable tunes, including the popular-but-so-sweet-it's-sickening "These Three Words." Wonder's gift is his complexity as an artist; unfortunately, the song in question is too simplistic in both words and music, reminiscent of the artist's Oscar-winning "I Just Called to Say I Love You."
Glimpses of vintage Stevie can be found on "Each Other's Throats," a condemnation of domestic violence; "If She Breaks Your Heart," a duet with Kimberly Brewer; "Gotta Have You" and the title cut, the two songs obviously geared for the dance floor; and "Make Sure You're Sure," a lush string-laden track concerning commitment in a relationship.
My favorite among the remaining songs is "I Go Sailing". On that song Wonder's lyrics tell the listener that personal reflections or "sailing" will result in a discovery and growth. The accompanying music symbolizes the movement on the ocean, with its ebbs and flows, adding "buoyancy" to the singer's words.
