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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor collectors tracing his rise, this is the essential first chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478980075825,"sku":"4988005723604","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_9bee72ff-66c6-4553-ba5e-0b224cea0bec.jpg?v=1794396085","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/stevie-wonder-where-im-coming-from-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
