Marvin Gaye's final release, a sensual revival of love.
"Sexual Healing" is the last masterpiece of the analog era, which made a dramatic comeback.
While the album features an 80s sound that makes full use of synths and drum machines, the soul remains unwaveringly Marvin. His sweet vocals portray urban loneliness and a longing for love, making this a shining classic in the history of black music.
