Fulfillingness' First Finale

by Stevie Wonder

The 1266th greatest album of all time

Fulfillingness’ First Finale (1974) finds Stevie Wonder refining the soulful, genre-blending approach he developed in the early 1970s. The album pairs intimate, introspective songwriting and social commentary with economical, groove-driven arrangements that draw on soul, funk, pop and occasional rock or disco rhythms. Wonder’s multi-instrumental production emphasizes keyboards and warm synth textures alongside melodic vocals and understated backing, giving the record a focused, contemplative character within his mid-1970s run of albums.
