Английская Википедия:Gotta Have You (Stevie Wonder song)
Шаблон:Other uses Шаблон:Infobox song "Gotta Have You" is a 1991 song by American rhythm and blues singer Stevie Wonder. The song was the first release from the 1991 soundtrack to the film Jungle Fever. Wonder wrote the song, and co-produced it with Nathan Watts. It peaked at No. 3 in the Hot R&B/ Hip Hop chart, making it one of Wonder's very few Top 10s of the 90s.
Content and reception
James E. Perone wrote in The Sound of Stevie Wonder: His Words and Music that "it anticipates the regularly 6-minutes-plus songs of his next album, Conversation Peace" and that it "is not one of Wonder's best-remembered compositions and recordings, but it does feature a fine funky, blues-infused lead vocal melody in the verses".[1]
In a review of the album, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that "While the keyboard funk of 'Chemical Love,' 'Gotta Have You,' and 'Queen in the Black' doesn't sound new, it does sound alive, which is better than Wonder has sounded in years."[2] A review in Musician was less favorable, calling it "generic, repetitive 70s-style funk".[3] Edwin Pouncey from NME commented, "An excerpt [...] which finds him moving into a well rehearsed, but ultimately funkier groove than of late. I gave up paying attention to Stevie Wonder soon after he chose to share his piano stool with Paul McCartney, but "Gotta Have You" is a return to Talking Book form...Well, almost."[4]
B-side
The B-side, Feeding off the Love of the Land which featured in the films end credits was written during the Fulfillingness First Finale sessions but was shelved. It was updated with strings before its release.
