"Secrets" (1976) -
RATING: 4.0 out of 5
As Herbie's albums progress into the 70's, Funk music became a lot more prominent on his albums. "Secrets" was unique in it's own right due to the fact that it was funky record, but also a more mellow record as well compared to the past few releases. Vocals make their first appearance ever on a Hancock record on the introduction track, "Doin It". Wah Wah Watson and Ray Parker Jr. took up writing duties for the track and the band makes it their own. I could have done without the reggae induced "Cantaloupe Island". "Spider" and "Swamp Rat" continue traditional Head Hunter funk grooves while "People Music" and "Gentle Thoughts" bring the album down a notch. We end with the incredible "Sansho Shima" written by Maupin himself. The band does not come even close to disappointing but this is the point where the band would begin to come down from their peak.
