Here, My Dear is the most unflinching album of Marvin Gaye's career, a 1978 double album built entirely around the collapse of his marriage to Anna Gordy, presented here as a single CD edition.
The backstory is famous. As part of the divorce settlement, Gaye agreed to hand over royalties from his next album, and instead of tossing off something quick, he poured every grievance, memory and regret into it. The result baffled critics and buyers at the time. Over the years, though, it has been reassessed as one of the bravest, most personal statements in soul music.
The title track opens with a weary spoken dedication before sliding into a loose, jazzy groove. When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You returns several times across the album, a recurring theme stitched into the story. Anger is exactly what it says, tense and simmering, while A Funky Space Reincarnation lifts off into a playful, spacey funk fantasy that offers welcome relief from the heartbreak.
Musically, it is lush and unhurried, full of warm electric piano, layered vocals and long, open-ended grooves that let Gaye's voice wander.
Few artists have aired their private life so openly. For anyone who loves What's Going On and wants the messier, more human chapter that followed, this one rewards patient listening.
