Legendary musician Stevie Wonder has announced a new record label, So What the Fuss Music; marketed and distributed under Republic Records and Universal Music Group.
The announcement comes along with two new songs from Stevie Wonder; Can’t Put it in the Hands of Fate (featuring Rapsody, Cordae, Chika, and Busta Rhymes) and Where Is Our Love Song (featuring Gary Clark Jr.) Proceeds from the latter will benefit Feeding America.
Check out both tracks below:
The two new songs mark the first time Wonder has released music separate from Motown Records since 1961.
In a press conference, Stevie Wonder elaborated on future music plans for the record label; which takes its name from 2005’s So What the Fuss, the lead single to his 23rd album A Time to Love. He discussed an EP and a separate project titled Through the Eyes of Wonder. No release dates have yet been revealed.
In April, Wonder performed a cover of Bill Withers’ Lean on Me for the broadcast of One World: Together at Home, as part of Global Citizen’s campaign to support the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for WHO.
Stevie Wonder has used his music to support a number of causes for decades. This has earned the multi-instrumentalist a spot on the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame.
