2005 studio album by Stevie Wonder
A Time to Love Stevie Wonder , his first since Conversation Peace 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.
It is also Wonder's latest studio album and musical project to date, as of 2024.
