Which Stevie Wonder album contains the song “Village Ghetto Land”?

Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life contains the song “Village Ghetto Land.”

Released in 1976, Songs in the Key of Life is an expansive double album exploring love, family, social inequality, spirituality, and everyday life. “Village Ghetto Land” is a concise, sharply arranged social commentary that contrasts elegant classical-style textures with disturbing descriptions of poverty and neglect.

The album also includes “Sir Duke,” “I Wish,” “Isn’t She Lovely,” and “As.” Its broad range and ambitious structure helped make it one of Wonder’s most acclaimed releases and one of the defining albums of 1970s popular music.

Listeners sometimes associate “Village Ghetto Land” with Innervisions because both albums contain strong social criticism. However, “Living for the City” belongs to Innervisions, while “Village Ghetto Land” belongs to the later Songs in the Key of Life project.
