Where I'm Coming From, a Japanese import on CD, is the 1971 album where Stevie Wonder first seized the steering wheel at Motown and started writing his own future.

Still only twenty, Wonder took a far bigger hand than Motown usually allowed its young stars. He wrote the album with his then-wife Syreeta Wright and produced it himself, swapping the polished teen-star formula for something more personal, searching and politically awake. It is the opening move of the extraordinary run that followed.

If You Really Love Me is the breakout single, a bubbly, irresistible pop-soul tune with bright horns and a vocal that sounds like pure joy. Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer shows the other side, a tender, aching ballad of real delicacy. Look Around opens the album with a thoughtful glance at the state of the world, while Do Yourself a Favor stretches into a long, gritty funk groove with plenty of room to roam.

It is not as famous as the classics that came next, which is precisely why it rewards a fresh listen. You can hear the ideas taking shape, some fully formed, others hinting at what lay ahead.

For collectors tracing his rise, this is the essential first chapter.
