audio review : Queen In The Black ( song ) … Stevie Wonder

This serenade; dedicated to a (fashion) Queen Stevie Wonder is romantically infatuated with; is like I Just Called To Say I Love You in that the gorgeous melodies of his verses outshine the chorus when it should be the other way around. What nearly makes up for it are the charmful ad-libs at the end, which prove the singer still knows how to finesse a song with the best of them.

audio review : Jungle Fever [ Music From The Movie ] ( album ) ... Stevie Wonder

audio review : Deli ( song ) … Ice Spice

Why Ice Spice insists on shaking her ass in a Deli à la Lizzo as opposed to a dance club is anyone’s guess, but the beat is a banger. It better be because the rapper’s vocals, specifically her borderline-retarded voice and delivery, leave a lot to be desired. Her looks leave little. She’s a “baddie” and knows it as she bends over to show the boys a glimpse of her cold cuts.
