(1995) A Time to Love
(2005)
A Time to Love is the twenty-third studio album by Stevie Wonder, his first since Conversation Peace in 1995. Originally to have been completed in 2004, it was finally released to stores on October 18, 2005, following an exclusive digital release on Apple`s iTunes Music Store on September 27.

The first single, issued in April 2005, was `So What the Fuss`, which featured Prince on guitar and En Vogue on backing vocals. Follow-up singles included `Positivity` with his daughter Aisha Morris, `From the Bottom of My Heart` and `Shelter in the Rain`.

The song `Shelter in the Rain` was in tribute to his first wife, the singer Syreeta Wright, who died of cancer the year before the album was released. Wonder was quoted as saying he would have had Wright singing lead on it had she lived.

Though multiple follow-ups have been announced as being in various stages of development, A Time to Love stands as Wonder`s most recent album to date.

All tracks are written by Stevie Wonder, except where noted.
