Bright brass and a bounding, rubbery bassline carry these sweet, teenage love letters. You can feel the summer heat in the breezy harmonies and the easy, joyful confidence of a voice growing up.

How does My Cherie Amour sound next to the rest of Stevie Wonder's catalogue?

Romantic+2.2σ

The record leans heavily into a lush, unabashedly romantic sentimentality that wraps every track in a soft, orchestral embrace.
