Stevie Wonder pays tribute to ‘Songs in the Key of Life’ with surprise EP

Stevie Wonder isn't just taking his album "Songs in the Key of Life" back out on the road. He's also treating fans to new music.

Wonder, whose last album "A Time to Love" was released in 2005, dropped a new EP, "Songs in the Key of Life: 50th Anniversary," on Monday, Sept. 28. The project features four previously unreleased songs from his mid-1970s golden era in honor of the album's milestone anniversary.

The archive tracks − "It's Easier," "My Life Story of Love," "I Can See the Sun in Late December" and "I’m Into Livin'" − were in various stages of completion when Wonder finalized the album's track list. Though ultimately left on the sidelines at the time, Wonder says the songs are true to the creative spirit of the sessions.

“We've lived with 'Songs in the Key of Life' for 50 years, but there's still more to hear," Wonder said in a statement. "We didn't add these songs to the album, but they were part of what I was feeling and discovering as we made it. They bring me back to that time in my life, and now they get to become part of yours."

Released in September 1976…
