All genres of music are welcome. In the 168^th edition of Throwback Vibez 🕶️🎶 (2023), we recollect and reflect on 🎵 “I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)”, performed by 🎙 Stevie Wonder. 

“I believe when I fall in love with you / It will be forever,” musical icon 🎙 Stevie Wonder sings authentically and exuberantly in the chorus of 🎵 “I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)”.  He continues, “I believe when I fall in love this time / It will be forever.” One of many highlights from Wonder’s 🏆 Grammy-winning masterpiece, 💿 Talking Book, the chivalry and dedication are admirable.  Wonder penned “I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)” alongside 🎼 ✍ Yvonne Wright. He self-produced this beloved non-single.

The chorus is the section to beat, but the verses and pre-choruses on “I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)” are strong as well.  The first verse is incredibly pessimistic – it sounds defeated.  However, the first pre-chorus sees a promising future: “The many sounds that meet our ears / The sights our eyes behold / Will open up our merging hearts / And feed our empty souls.” Woo! Similarly, the second verse  and second pre-chorus confirm this formidable love which is referenced in the chorus.  Wonder sounds stunning vocally – it’s incredibly easy to buy what he’s selling. Musically, everything is sound, with a stupendous backdrop helping to fuel ⛽️ his fire 🔥.  Not only does 🎵 “I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)” highlight Wonder’s musicianship and talent, it also highlights his character 💪.
