Stevie Wonder - new album Through the Eyes of Wonder announced for 2027
Published on 08/26/2026 at 07:46 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Stevie Wonder is returning with a major new work after more than two decades. According to a July 24, 2026 report from SoulTracks, he has announced the studio album Through the Eyes of Wonder for 2027, his first full-length release since 2005.
What is known about Through the Eyes of Wonder
On stage at a party in Los Angeles in July 2026, Stevie Wonder told the audience that he plans to release Through the Eyes of Wonder in 2027 and that it will feature four previously unreleased songs from the mid-1970s Songs in the Key of Life sessions, as reported by SoulTracks and other music outlets. SoulTracks' report on the album announcement underlines that this will be his first album of new material in 22 years, following A Time to Love in 2005.
The album title suggests a personal, reflective concept, and several reports note that Wonder is currently adding four fresh tracks to complete the project ahead of the planned 2027 release window. Outlets such as The Source and French newspaper La Presse highlight that these songs connect the new album directly with the creative era around Songs in the Key of Life, one of his most acclaimed works.
German chart resonance of Someday At Christmas
While fans wait for the new record, Stevie Wonder’s catalog continues to appear in Germany’s Official Charts. The Official German Charts database lists his festive album Someday At Christmas as having entered the German album chart on December 27, 2024, where it reached a peak of number 70, according to GfK Entertainment’s published data. The Official German Charts entry for Someday At Christmas also shows that the duet single version of Someday At Christmas with Andra Day entered the German singles chart on December 29, 2023, peaking at number 66.
This means that, more than fifty years after the original release of Someday At Christmas, Stevie Wonder added a new German chart line with the album in late 2024, while the modern duet version briefly appeared in the singles ranking. Compared with his earlier German album peak of number 43 for A Time to Love in 2005, the Christmas entry underscores a solid catalog presence rather than a top-tier chart run, but it keeps his name visible in the local market.
