Gil Scott-Heron’s Moving Target (1982) showcases the iconic artist in a transformative period. The album blends his signature socio-political commentary with a more polished, groove-oriented sound, reflecting the era’s evolving musical landscape. Tracks like “Johannesburg” revisit his activist roots, while “Black History/The World” delivers raw spoken-word brilliance. The production leans into funk, R&B, and synth-driven textures, courtesy of Malcolm Cecil’s meticulous touch. While not as incendiary as earlier works, Moving Target retains Scott-Heron’s lyrical depth and his ability to dissect global issues with poignant clarity. A testament to his adaptability, the album underscores his enduring influence on music and activism.
