Stevie Wonder discussed working on a new album at the opening night of the new Hollywood Bowl season when he induced John Legend into the venue’s Hall of Fame.
The album titled When the World Began had him team up with producer David Foster and a symphony orchestra. The album will feature new and remakes of old songs such as “Isn’t She Lovely,” Rolling Stone reports. T
Another project wonder is working on is a gospel album inspired by his mother titled, Gospel Inspired By Lula. Wonder told Rolling Stone he is thinking about singing a gospel song in Arabic.
“I think everyone needs to hear the word of the gospel. The word of gospel really is love and it really is about people following the word . . . It’s not about the religion – it’s about the relationship that you have with the one you serve and you worship,” he said.
There currently is no release date set for either projects.
Reuters reports Wonder will give a concert on Friday to honor his promise to perform if negotiators concluded on international treated that would give access to book for blind and visually impaired people worldwide.
“Let’s get this signed, sealed, delivered and I’m yours. Do this and I will come to Marrakesh and we will celebrate together,” Wonder said.
