Sobre el álbum
El disco Take Two, de 1966, es la primera incursión completa de Marvin Gaye en el formato de álbum de duetos, en esta ocasión junto a la talentosa cantante de Motown Kim Weston. Este trabajo sirvió como prototipo para los legendarios duetos que grabaría posteriormente, estableciendo una fórmula de éxito basada en la interacción de dos voces poderosas.
El álbum es una colección de soul enérgico y optimista, cuyo mayor exponente es el inolvidable éxito "It Takes Two". Esta canción se convirtió en un clásico de Motown, una celebración del amor y la compenetración con una energía contagiosa. La química vocal entre Gaye y Weston es innegable, con ambas voces empastando a la perfección.
El resto del disco mantiene un alto nivel de profesionalidad y encanto, con canciones que siguen el patrón del sonido Motown de la época. "Take Two" es un trabajo delicioso y un capítulo importante en la carrera de Marvin Gaye, el primer paso que le consolidaría como uno de los mejores compañeros de dueto de la historia del soul.
