'Here, My Dear' from 1978 is Marvin Gaye's most introspective album. When his first wife Anna Gordy filed for divorce in 1975 she was awarded half of the royalties and down payment for this project as alimony.
At first, Gaye wanted to throw the project because he wouldn't receive any profit from it, but then he decided to use this as a way to exorcise his demons, making this the deepest, darkest and most personal of albums.
The naked truth, as you will, about love, marriage, and divorce, exposed in all its glory in both the lyrics and the artwork of this album, which is rife with subtle – and not so subtle – digs to his wife.
As one of Gaye's pivotal records, it belongs in any soul collection. As the ultimate divorce record, it is a part of music history.
