Syreeta - Syreeta [1972]

This album represented the solo debut of Syreeta, a Motown staffer who was one of Stevie Wonder's most important collaborators during his early 1970's renaissance. Fittingly, Wonder returned the favor by producing this album and writing or co-writing several of its songs (he is also notable present in the background vocals of several of the tracks). As a result, the album utilizes the same experimental approach to R&B music that defined his early 1970's work, blending conventional string-sweetened 1970's soul with ventures into synthesizer-inflected funk. Read More
