So not much to say about Marvin Gaye’s “Here, My Dear” album… So Marvin’s going through a divorce, decides to write a bunch of songs about it, and makes an album out of it… I’m sure a big part of it was “…Wow – if Marvin wants to do that – I guess he’s gonna do that, because well – he’s Marvin Gaye…” Now don’t get me wrong, as I truly believe that Marvin was an exceptional talent, but this is nothing more than self-indulgent swill as far as I’m concerned… Sure, its raw, and captured a period in his life – but that does NOT mean it’s good, and it falls woefully short when compared to his best work… Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins both wrote some incredible compositions related to their respective divorces that really connected with their audiences – but Marvin’s effort here is ultimately forgettable… Only decent track on the album was “Is That Enough” – which is really well-done, and his vocals throughout are pretty top-shelf as you’d expect, but musically, as well as lyrically – it’s just not all that interesting or inspiring – sorry…
