This is my favorite performance of Overjoyed. He performs it in an intimate setting, casually pulling off some of the craziest runs I've ever heard. Pure genius.
I have been listening to Stevie Wonder's albums, and I have to say, Conversation Peace, I think, is one of his most underrated and misunderstood albums. I have listened through it multiple times from start to finish, and here is my overall rating:
Conversation Peace: 8/10 stellar writing, musical ability (it’s Stevie Wonder, of course), what brings it down is the dated sound, and the length.
Rain Your Love Down (stellar Top 3 track)
Edge of Eternity (excellent)
Taboo to love (excellent)
Take the time out (okay)
I’m New (stellar top 3 track)
My love is with you (excellent)
Treat Myself (excellent)
Tomorrow Robbins Will Sing (excellent)
Sensuous Whisper (excellent)
For Your Love (stellar Top 3 track)
Cold Chill (okay)
Sorry (okay)
Conversation Peace (excellent)
My final thoughts on this album are that it had the potential to be so much better. If he had maybe trimmed it down more.
The first 10 tracks of the album in my opinion is already more than enough. Most notably, this is an issue in the 2 songs "Cold Chill" and "Sorry" they do not need to go on for over 6 minutes.
Nor needed to be there really. Those 2 songs feel like he put them there just because. He should've just ended it at the title track "Conversation Peace." There not bad songs, (there alright in my opinion) they're just too long, and not used in the right place in his discography.
But focusing on the good of the album, it's a pleasure to listen to. I personally don't mind the 90s sound, because of that I can really get down to this album. In my opinion I would compare this album to something like Music Of My Mind. Maybe better. Give it a listen if you haven't!
These are two concerts with amazing quality I think people need to hear. These are uploaded on Youtube, but with Youtube some quality is lost, and the concert sounds really bad. So I'm sharing the raw FLAC lossless files for both of these concerts. Note for the Atlanta concert, on Youtube it was actually pitched lower and uploaded, but for this one, it's in the original pitch. Enjoy these and share them! Grab them before the link expires.

I'm sure you've seen this song, I think its called "Rise Everybody" it circulated as a piano dmeo improvisation. but this new version was just posted, and its synth based. amazing version! Reminds me of Spritual Walkers on In Square Circle. check out the real video:
Really cool to hear a more stripped-down version of this song, just him and a piano. Great performance.
This is my favorite version of this song. He has a cool jam at the end, such an underrated tune.
This is very interesting. to say at the least. The following audio is Stevie Wonder performing a song called "You Will Know," which appeared on his studio album "Characters." However, he says this song was meant for "In Square Circle," which definitely means he shelved it for his next release. He said in interviews in square circle was gonna be a double album, I wish it was. Regarding the recording, it's interesting to see the song in a new light. It was more uptempo, more percussion, and more sounds. I can sort of imagine the image he had for this song on in square circle. By the grace of god, someone taped this amazing concert in Festhalle, Germany. Which is what you're hearing.
