SuperEgo is a short-lived instrumental project conceived and produced by Stevie Wonder in 1979. “ I don’t know anything about this.” -George Porter Jr. 11/18/21
Concept[]
Stevie, who had been growing his interest in electronic music, tried to create an album with constant BPMs and heavily use of overdubbing techniques.[1] Often counting with The Meters as his backing band, Stevie recorded two albums (Vol. 1 and Vol. 2) at his home studio in Detroit through a nine-month period. Both albums were finished but never released and then abandoned due to "lack of commercial power", as he says.[2]
