A Time to Love -

I am a Starbucks fan, and so it's not surprising that as well as buying coffee there every day, I also buy other bits and pieces too. That's where I saw the Stevie Wonder CD, "A Time to Love".

I've always been a Stevie Wonder fan since I was a teenager when I bought the Motown Story. Stevie Wonder was introduced in that as a 5 year old playing "Fingertips", and I continued to buy his music long after that. Although I'd heard him recording with various other artists, I'd not bought any of his CD's for a few years now, and was interested to hear what this was like. It is awesome! It has the same soulful sound of his older music, and whether he's singing about love, politics and wars, or just getting by in life, his lyrics always make you stop and think and they haunt you long after the music ends.

I loved the one called "Positivity" which says "you should always look at the negative, but always live in the positive", how cool is that? Then, of course, the title song, "A Time to Love", is amazing, questioning the things we make time for in this world - oil excavation, paying taxes, and conquering nations. It is also interesting to note that people from all corners of the world have worked together to make this recording. So, when will there be a time to love?
