Stevie Wonder releases four previously unheard tracks from the Songs in the Key of Life recording sessions. The songs are titled “It’s Easier,” “My Life Story of Love,” “I Can See the Sun In Late December,” and “I’m Into Livin’.” The material is issued as a new EP of Songs in the Key of Life, described by outlets as marking the album’s 50th anniversary.
Context for the release centers on the original 1976 album, widely cited as a landmark work in Wonder’s career. Multiple sources note that Songs in the Key of Life received major recognition, including winning album of the year at the Grammy Awards, and includes enduring tracks such as “Sir Duke,” “As,” and “Isn’t She Lovely.”
Across the coverage, the main differences are in emphasis: one outlet focuses on the availability of the four unreleased songs as a stream, while another highlights the anniversary framing and points to Wonder’s broader plans around the milestone, including an arena tour. All accounts agree that the new EP draws specifically from the original album sessions and presents newly released recordings to listeners.
