Stevie Wonder drops two new songs after leaving Motown Records after nearly 60 years

The legendary musician debuted his "Where Is Our Love Song" and "Can’t Put It in The Hands Of Fate" tracks during a virtual press conference last night (13 October), which also saw him reveal that he's leaving Motown Records after nearly 60 years, having signed to the label aged 11 in 1961.

"Where Is Our Love Song" sees Wonder collaborate with Gary Clark Jr., while "Can't Put It in The Hands Of Fate" features Rapsody, Busta Rhymes, CHIKA and Cordae.

Speaking about "Where Is Our Love Song", Wonder explained, "It is a song that really I started working on when I was 18, not even knowing what the song was going to be about, but I had the melody. Then this year came all the confusion and all the hate and all the east versus west, left versus right ... It’s just a heartbreak. And those who say ‘This is what God has said… this is my religion,’ it’s just a lot of confusion… I’m watching all this and say, ‘Hold up, how can you be talking about God and there be hate in your spirit?'"

He added of the second song, "I was thinking about where we are in the world. And I was thinking about how this is most crucial time. Not just Black people or people of colour but young people everywhere are going, 'This is not acceptable.' Change is right now. We can’t put it in the hands of fate. Ain’t nobody got time to wait."

Wonder noted during his virtual conference last night that the new tracks mark the first time he's ever released two songs on the same day.

He also revealed that he plans to put the new songs on an upcoming EP, and shared his new solo album title Through the Eyes of Wonder.

All proceeds from his Gary Clark Jr. collaboration will be donated to US-based non-profit organisation Feeding America.

The 70-year-old's new songs are released via his own So What The Fuss Music, and is distributed through Universal Music Group's Republic Records.
