From the proto-prog opener “Look Around” to the vaguely psychedelic “Something Out Of The Blue” to the crushing break-up ballad “Never Dreamed You’d Leave Me In Summer” it is abundantly clear that Wonder is not kidding around with the title Where I’m Coming From. Indeed, this is the first of his records that feels completely the product of his own vision, utilizing little of the classic Motown sound and drawing from a large and unwieldy spectrum of influences. That assertion of talent and authority is a bit of a mixed bag here — the ersatz Broadway of “Take Up A Course In Happiness” mostly grates — but in the main this is final witness and testimony of a child star set free. No betting man or woman could have imagined what would happen next.
