Stevie Wonder: Hotter Than July
Stevie Wonder: Hotter Than July
Label: Tamla
Year: 1980
Hotter Than July is Stevland Morris’ 19th album at the ripe old age of 30. For the few non-Stevie Wonder fans out there side 1 will neither change their hearts nor their minds but will certainly cause them to dig their heels in deeper. Those same non-Stevie fans have to acknowledge the quality of “Master Blaster (Jammin’)” as Stevie wears few hats, while rightly pointing out that it’s way too long and that quality is unsustainable, which is proven correct by the next three room clearing songs. “Birthday”, the closer and probably the centerpiece of Hotter Than July is inspired but Steve is once again wearing too many hats.
