Stevie Wonder New Album: ‘Superstition’ Singer Reveals New Record With David Foster, First Since 2005’s ‘A Time To Love’

Stevie Wonder inducted his friend John Legend into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame on Saturday. During that event, Wonder revealed to Rolling Stone that he is working on a new album with producer David Foster and a whole symphony orchestra.

The untitled album, which would be Wonder's first since A Time to Love in 2005, will contain new songs and remakes of classic tracks, including "Isn't She Lovely."

Here are some excerpts from Wonder's interview with Rolling Stone:

"We talked in December at House Full of Toys, and you had a few projects going. How is your new material coming?

I am doing two different projects at this time. Really, I've been working on three. One that I talked about with you before is Ten Billion Hearts, and David Foster has been talking to me a couple of years about doing some songs that I had done using a symphony orchestra. So we got together New Year's Eve, and we worked out some things. I played some things in a different way and he did some arrangements, and there's some new stuff that I wrote that never was released. One song that I wrote when I was 13 - Tony Bennett did it a long, long time ago, called 'This Town,' but I'm gonna do it on this album. And there's a song I wrote recently - I actually wrote the music 15 years ago or longer - called 'When the World Began.' And I wrote the words, like, last week.

Is the symphony album then a mix of both old and new songs?

It is a lot of things that I have done, old material, but doing it a different way. I'm going to do about three or four new songs as well. We did 'Isn't She Lovely' with the orchestra and I wrote another verse to it. And we did 'I Just Called to Say I Love You' - myself and Take 6 with the orchestra.

How do these songs change for you doing them a different way?

The way that I did it, the original way, I enjoyed that. This is just another interpretation, and we did the arrangement a little differently and it turned out really, really good. I'm really excited about it."
