Stevie Wonder is back! The pop icon has been through a lot over the past couple of years. It all started last summer when concertgoers received the shocking news that he would be taking a break from touring to undergo a kidney transplant in September. After a successful surgery, Stevie left the hospital in December and has since been recuperating at home. That is until recently when he official returned to work.
Getting back to work included leaving Motown Records, the label he has been with for approximately six decades; setting up his own label: So What the Fuss Music, with distribution through Universal Music Group’s Republic Records and finally, releasing two new songs: “Can’t Put It In the Hands of Fate” (which features Busta Rhymes, Rapsody, Cordae and Chika) and “Where Is Our Love Song” (which features Grammy-winning guitarist Gary Clark Jr.).
