What's Going On is Marvin Gaye's 1971 masterpiece, presented here as a remastered CD with bonus tracks, and it still sounds like the conscience of soul music.
Gaye fought his own label to make it, determined to step away from love songs and write about war, poverty, injustice and a planet under strain. Berry Gordy initially resisted releasing it, but the title track became a smash, and the album went on to redefine what a soul record could say.
Its songs flow into one another like a suite, built on lush strings, conga grooves and James Jamerson's fluid bass. What's Going On opens with party chatter and a sax line before Gaye's layered vocals glide in, Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) mourns a poisoned environment, and Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) closes the record on a simmering, haunted groove.
The remastering brings fresh detail to those multi-tracked harmonies, and the bonus tracks add extra context to one of the most studied albums in popular music.
More than five decades later, its questions feel just as urgent, and its beauty just as disarming. Every era seems to rediscover it, and every new listener finds something in it that speaks directly to the present.
