Innervisions

1973’s ‘Innervisions’ swings between delicate and airy ballads, Latin-influenced rhythms and his own synth-heavy versions of raw funk and soul. The striking juxtaposition between “Vision”, a barely breathed hope that a world of peace might be upon us, and the great “Living for the City”, a funky, pulsing tale of racism, is powerful, haunting, and still all too relevant. A classic album.
