Beginning in the mid-'80s
Stevie Wonder's albums didn't catch the public's attention, and
Conversation Peace did not change that, although it wasn't for lack of trying.
Wonder's gift for melody is still in place, and he incorporates understated hip-hop rhythms into his music well, yet he isn't able to make music that fit into the rigid play lists of '90s urban contemporary radio.
