Dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr., Hotter than July actually addresses black issues, and its vision of romantic love is, for a change, decidedly sour. After the quasi-symphonic puffery of Journey through the Secret Life of Plants, Wonder's music has tightened and toughened into a roiling pop-funk that hits several fiery grooves. “Hotter Than July” is the nineteenth studio album by Stevie Wonder, released on Motown's Tamla label on September 29, 1980. It reached #3 on the Billboard 200 chart.
CloseStevie Wonder - Hotter Than July (1980/2014)FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz Time - 45:46 minutes 1004 MBStudio Master, Official Digital Download Artwork: Front coverBy the time 'Hotter Than July' was released in 1980, Stevie Wonder had spent the '70s making his transition into adulthood by redefining pop music and winning widespread public and critical acclaim (along with a boatload of Grammys). As was usually the case on previous albums, Wonder's first release of the '80s featured him playing a variety of instruments, supported by a number of famous guests including Angela Winbush, Michael Jackson, Betty Wright and members of the Gap Band. The result was an album of breezy love songs, deliciously upbeat pop and a thinly disguised tribute to Bob Marley.Four years after the pinnacle of Stevie Wonder's mid-'70s typhoon of classic albums, Hotter Than July was the proper follow-up to Songs in the Key of Life (his Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants concept record was actually a soundtrack to an obscure movie that fared miserably in theaters). It also found Wonder in a different musical climate than the one that savored his every move from 1972 to 1977. Disco and new wave had slowly crept their way into the mainstream record-buying public, and hindered the once-ample room for socially and politically charged lyrics.
However, Wonder naysayed the trends and continues to do what he did best. Solid songwriting, musicianship, and production are evident in the majority of Hotter Than July. Wonder also carries on his tradition of penning songs normally not associated with his trademark sound, from the disco-tinged 'All I Do' (originally planned to be released by Tammi Terrell almost ten years previously) to the reggae-influenced smash 'Master Blaster (Jammin),' which went straight to the top of the R&B charts. While admittedly there are a few less-than-standard tracks, he closes the album on an amazing high note with one of the most aching ballads in his canon ('Lately') and a touching anthem to civil rights pioneer Martin Luther King, Jr. ('Happy Birthday'). While most definitely not on the same tier as Innervisions or Songs in the Key of Life, Hotter Than July is the portrait of an artist who still had the Midas touch, but stood at the crossroads of an illustrious career.Tracklist:01 - Did I Hear You Say You Love Me02 - All I Do03 - Rocket Love04 - I Ain't Gonna Stand For It05 - As If You Read My Mind06 - Master Blaster (Jammin')07 - Do Like You08 - Cash In Your Face09 - Lately10 - Happy Birthday.
