Wonder, 70, had a kidney transplant in December 2019, but said today: “I feel great, my voice feels great. I tell my daughter Aisha, ‘I’m going to be five years younger than you’ … I feel about 40 right now.”

Great news! I always hoped Stevie would get it together and have a late career bloom. I haven’t listened to the songs yet. Are they any good?
Arthur Cowslip says
YES.
chiz says
Seems impossible that he’s released music in seven decades, but it only 70.
Arthur Cowslip says
I was just coming on to comment the same. I was half expecting it to say, “Stevie Wonder, 85″…… I can’t believe he’s still only 70.
H.P. Saucecraft says
“I can’t believe he’s still only 70.”

My look for Spring 2021 (should I be spared).
Arthur Cowslip says
My God, those new songs are GOOD. Standing ovation from me.
Mike_H says
I really like “Can’t Put It In The Hands Of Fate”, although I think it’s about a minute too long.
Not so keen on “Where Is Our Love Song”. Maybe it’ll grow on me.
Good to know Stevie’s still around and doing it.
Mrbellows says
I don’t think Stevie’s new music is aiming for you honky’s.🤔
H.P. Saucecraft says
I don’t think he can see a distinction, and neither should you.
(“Honkies,” btw).
Mrbellows says
I debated that but thought ‘Honky’s’ looked better in the sentence. It had a bit more of that lousianna about it.
mikethep says
Nope, sorry, you don’t get to decide. This ain’t Nam, there are rules.
Mrbellows says
White guys thinking they’re on the same page as Stevie Wonder is the ultimate in delusion. This music is not for you old white blokes to decipher. It’s not made for you at all. This ain’t no superstition.
Sniffity says
Do white men of the cloth get called hankies?
Diddley Farquar says
But Stevie as a Motown artist was very much involved in making black music that was more palatable for a white audience, which he managed in spades. As a consequence he acheived universal appeal.
H.P. Saucecraft says
“He managed in spades.”
Oh. Dear.
Moose the Mooche says
Dude worked in Sainsburys Homebase? Who knew!
H.P. Saucecraft says
*wipes forehead in relief*
Diddley Farquar says
What a card. I knew there was something about that word in that sentence that didn’t sound quite right.
H.P. Saucecraft says
“What a card”. What suit are you thinkng of, Mr Farquar?
Diddley Farquar says
Errr…Ms Bun The Baker
Mrbellows says
I’m pretty sure Stevie can “See distinction”.
Arthur Cowslip says
I’m sure Stevie would say his music is for everyone in the universe, regardless of colour.
Mrbellows says
70 years old and still manning the caves. I will applaud you and commend your service me being what at least 20 years your younger.
