Wh 1971’s “What’s Gog On, ” Marv Gaye proved that he uld make and bake his own ke, and eat , too… that he uld tra his suave, lover-man pose and bonair vil-may-re attu for lyril activism and righteo dignatn… and that he uld take the smooth, soulful voice that ma him a pop superstar and e s mellifluo ton to quietly rant about the issu plagug Ameri, black and whe. Movg om jubilance and aspiratn to spair and anger, Gaye pulled himself and Motown — both sgl-oriented enti, until this rerd — to full-album symmetry and topily.

MARV GAYE NEW ALBUM OUT 29 MARCH 2019

When Gaye wasn’t by ncentratg on producg spacey soul ton and softly rollg rhythms, he was sgg about poverty, a ed elogy, unemployment and all levels of prott, be anti-ary or anti-police.

MARV GAYE - ALWAYS AND FOREVER (2019) HI-R

“Inner Cy Blu (Make Me Wanna Holler), ” “Save the Children, ” “Mercy Mercy Me (The Elogy), ” and the tle track shifted how dienc and label looked at Gaye. Origally, Gaye’s goal was the moody mish-mash of oddly angled R&B melodi, slippery funk puls and (mostly) munal nscns-rich lyrics that fill “You’re the Man, ” which is fally fdg s very belated release 2019.

For anyone terted how Marv would f the prent day of Childish, Janelle and Solange, this h “lost” album, rerd 1972, is the answer, even if Gaye origally left that qutn open to njecture by shelvg s ssns for no apparent reason. Several of s tracks have dripped out onto other Gaye packag, but this llectn, wh but a few h remix om Salaam Remi, reprents a “Man” full. Taken as a (new) whole, this versn of “You’re The Man” feeeeeels like what should have e between “What’s Gog On, ” Gaye’s epic sre for “Trouble Man” and 1973’s erotic “Let’s Get It On.

Whout preachg, Gaye and his multi-tracked lead vols (his new signature, plete wh “whooos” and “yeahs”) make the tle tune to a br-filled pilatn of his mpaign-era needs, as he ppots how bg and segregatn are tearg his people apart.

MARV GAYE

Other tall topics plagued Gaye’s md gog to the “Man” ssns of 1972.

The war Vietnam and his brother Frankie’s hnted battle experienc that fueled the mood and exprsn of “What’s Gog On” flow elegantly through the tklg, mid-tempo “I Want To Come Home For Christmas, ” even as Gaye portrays the weight of “a prisoner of war… hopg my fay is well” wh a heavy heart. As sleigh bells jgle and s jazzily Motown-ish melody of yore unspools (-wrten wh Fort Hairston), there’s dread and tenrns behd every word Gaye ton. This beg a Marv Gaye album, there is love, votn and ditn to women, sex and sensualy.

“You’ve e a long way, baby, ” sgs Gaye a ngratulatory whisper.

MARV GAYE’S LOST ALBUM FDS HIM AT THE PEAK OF HIS CREATIVY

That said, Gaye’s sonic romantic sensibili — the sensually stewg horns and Sound of Philalphia harmoni of “I’m Gonna Give You Rpect, ” or the lh and hhg “Symphony” — are on par wh his earlier smooth-operator classics.

And Gaye lets his tentative male secury (or génue-y, take your pick) e through on “My Last Chance, ” as he allows his flutterg tenor croon to fence wh a lc saxophone’s lead. “I’m jt a shy guy / I’m so nervo / Girl, but I got to try, ” nfs Gaye, soundg like the salty Marv of skny ti and sharksk sus, rather than the activist-poetic bohemian he had bee by that time. Marv Gaye.

MARV GAYE'S UNRELEASED ALBUM 'YOU'RE THE MAN' TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY

Upon s release 2019, You're the Man was billed as a "lost" album -- an album tend to appear between Marv Gaye's 1971 masterwork What's Gog On and 1973's Let's Get It On. Part of the problem may be that the material prisg the send half of the 2019 release is a grab bag of ssn material ntag two Christmas songs; a jam wh Bohannon where Gaye talks to the listener through the song lled "Checkg Out (Double Clutch)"; and three new mix by Salaam Remi, a producer who earned Grammy nomatns for his work on the Fuge' 1996 album, The Sre, and Amy Wehoe's 2007 rerd, Back to Black.

Inspired by the succs of the socially nsc What's Gog On, Gaye cid to ntue this ve, cuttg the polilly charged funk tune "You're the Man" and a handful of other msage tun.
