Sobre el álbum
Si "What's Going On" fue una exploración del alma de la sociedad, "Let's Get It On", la obra que en 1973 redefinió la discografía de Marvin Gaye, es una exploración del alma del deseo. Este álbum es una celebración abierta, sensual y profundamente espiritual del amor físico. Rompió tabúes y creó un nuevo subgénero, el "quiet storm", sentando las bases para la música R&B romántica de las décadas venideras.
La canción que da título al disco es mucho más que una invitación al sexo; es un himno de una vulnerabilidad y una ternura abrumadoras, interpretado con una pasión que trasciende lo carnal. Todo el álbum se mueve en esa dualidad, fusionando lo sagrado y lo profano con una naturalidad asombrosa. La producción es exquisita, con arreglos de cuerda exuberantes y una base rítmica de funk suave que crea una atmósfera íntima y seductora.
Marvin Gaye utiliza su voz como un instrumento más, con susurros, gemidos y falsetes que transmiten cada matiz del deseo. "Let's Get It On" es una pieza redonda de la sensualidad, un disco que no solo habla de sexo, sino del poder sanador y redentor del amor y la intimidad. Es un pilar de la música soul.
