Musician Stevie Wonder has released a four-song EP featuring previously unreleased studio recordings to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his 1976 album Songs in the Key of Life. The EP includes the tracks “It’s Easier,” “My Life Story of Love,” “I Can See the Sun In Late December,” and “I’m Into Livin’.”
Personally curated by Wonder, the four newly released songs were written and produced during the original 1976 album sessions. The tracks were recently mixed by original recording and mixing engineers John Fischbach and Gary O Adante, featuring performances by musicians including Gregory Phillinganes, Michael Sembello, Ben Bridges, Jim Horn, Raymond Pounds, and Nathan Watts.
Wonder will also commemorate the anniversary with the Songs in the Key of Life Performances – 50th Anniversary Tour, where he will perform the full album. The tour begins October 13 at Utilita Arena Birmingham and travels through Europe before starting its U.S. leg on November 19 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, ending December 19 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
Ticket access, tour dates, and digital EP streaming choices are available through official concert promoters and digital music platforms. Live Nation is promoting the anniversary tour in partnership with Wonder Productions, Inc.
Originally issued on September 28, 1976, Songs in the Key of Life won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and achieved Diamond certification status. The record is preserved in the Library of Congress National Recording Registry and includes tracks such as “Sir Duke,” “Isn’t She Lovely,” “As,” and “Love’s in Need of Love Today.”
