Rob Sheffield Quote
Gaye released Got to Give It Up a year after Bowie released Station to Station—two long grooves stretching into double-digit minutes, blatantly unconventional, with quizzical vocals and rubberband-man bass and hypnotically repetitive rhythm, going for synthetic effects while rejecting any kind of laid-back comforts. These records were a fuck-you to all the musicians their age who were content to play it safe and pander to the audience. But they were also a challenge to young listeners to catch up with the sound of the future, contemplating personal disasters with a hilariously spaced just-visiting-this-planet vibe.
