Stevie Wonder is finally returning with a new studio album after more than two decades. According to a SoulTracks report dated July 24, 2026, he announced that the record Through the Eyes of Wonder will be released in 2027 and will include four previously unreleased songs from the Songs in the Key of Life era in the mid-1970s SoulTracks announcement.
What Stevie Wonder has revealed about the album
On July 24, 2026, Stevie Wonder spoke at a party in Los Angeles about Through the Eyes of Wonder, confirming the 2027 release window and the inclusion of archival material from his classic 1976 period Ratings Game Music report. SoulTracks notes that this will be his first studio album in 22 years, following A Time to Love, which came out in 2005.
Italian outlet TGCOM24 and English-language coverage both underline that four songs on the new album originate from sessions around Songs in the Key of Life, meaning they connect directly to material written around 1975–1976. Taken together, these reports show that the project will mix newly completed work with historic compositions, an approach that ties his future release to one of his most celebrated creative phases.
Album and work depth for Through the Eyes of Wonder
The new album continues Stevie Wonder’s tradition of blending soul, pop and R&B with socially conscious themes. While specific track titles have not yet been announced, the promise of four previously unreleased songs from the Songs in the Key of Life era suggests extended arrangements, rich harmonies and the multi-layered keyboard textures associated with his mid-1970s work.
In his earlier albums, especially Songs in the Key of Life and A Time to Love, he relied heavily on live band interplay, horn sections and vocal choirs. The announced concept for Through the Eyes of Wonder indicates that he will once again draw on that broad palette, combining archival material with newly recorded tracks to bridge his classic sound and his current perspective.
