Music » Muzika | 53 Marvin Gaye What’s Going On Marvin Gej je rano postao poznat kao „princ od Motauna “. Ali problematični brak i rasni nemiri izazvali su umetnički pomak na njegovom 11. LP-u, jer je senzualnost zamenio za ozbiljnu introspekciju. Pevač je majstorski uravnotežio svilene melodije sa teškim temama. Istraživao je zavisnost od droge u Flyin’ High ( In the Friendly Sky),, bacio svetlo na geta za koja Amerikanci više klase i ne znaju da postoje u I nner Citi Blues (Make MeWanna Holler ), molio za pomoć u Merci Merci Me i ponudio bezvremenu izjavu o posleratnoj tragediji naslovnom pesmom. What’s Going On, nakon što je prerasla u kulturnu baštinu, i dalje zvuči sveže 50 godina kasnije. Takođe je nažalost još aktuelan podsetnik na nepokolebljive svetske nepravde. MARVINGAYE WHAT’S GOINGON Marvin Gaye was known as the “Prince of Motown” early in his career, but his crumblingmarriage and society’s racial uprising provoked an artistic shift on his 11th LP, as he swapped sensuality for serious introspection. The singer masterfully balanced silkymelodies with weighty subjects, exploring drug addiction on Flyin’ High (In the Friendly Sky), highlighting the ghettos that upper-class Americans overlook on Inner City Blues (MakeMeWanna Holler), making a plea to nurture onMercyMercyMe (The Ecology) and offering a statement on post-war tragedy with the title track. Having transcended into a cultural landmark, What’s GoingOn still sounds fresh 50 years after the fact. It’s also a sadly still-relevant reminder of America’s unshakeable injustices. Ovo su samo neki od besmrtnih klasika koji ove godine pune pola veka, a kao da su snimljeni danas / These are just some of the eternal classics that turn half a century old this year
