After reading the article from"pop matters.com" its clear too see that the writer talks about how Wonder's album progresses to a more funky yet balladry sound. This article relates to the “AustinChronicle.com" article as they both describe Stevie Wonder's album thoroughly. I prefer the"AustinChronicle.com" as it's more in depth. Although, I do agree with "pop matters.com" views of "Talking Book”.
I feel that they are true with their views about the change of sound to his album which is an important point. It was also quite interesting to read, due to the fact that it was a conversation with two writers, both stating their different opinions of Stevie's album. Both of these articles were written recently, "Pop Matter" in 2012 and "Austin Chronicle" in 2000.
The "Rollingstone.com" and "Newstates.com" article don't actually describe or discuss Stevie's album. For example, with "rolling stone.com" key information such as the year the album was released is missing. The article only spoke about who produced it and how different it was to previous albums. but not how they feel about his music or wether they think it would be successful or not.
I wouldn't use this article to reflect how they feel about his music at all. "Newstates.com" speaks similarly to the "Rollingstone" article, however this one was also written in 2012 but it has a complete contrast to “Rollingstone”. I didn't find this article engaging due to the fact that it fully talks about the instrument the clavinet and doesn't go into detail with Stevie Wonder's "Talking Book". "Newstates.com" focuses on Wonder's well known instrument the clavinet and how it was growing increasingly popular at the time of his album. They described this instrument as his 'second voice’.
Overall I would say that the pop matters article was my favourite. this is because they spoke about his music anyhow he was changing his sound as well. The second two articles are still good however i felt that their articles focus’s weren't where they should've been.
