I doubt that the finished product will hold a candle to his 70s work, but I could be surprised. Unlike a lot of people, I really liked the 'So What the Fuss' single that Stevie put out a few months ago. It's funkier and wittier than one would expect from a man whose music descended into the realms of abject naffness over 20 years ago.
Though I haven't downloaded the album yet, I did hear a few clips a while ago. Some of what I heard has potential (for example, the title track and 'Shelter in the Rain'), but I suppose the proof will be in the listening. Others who have downloaded the album say that it is fairly mellow and ballad based, with a couple of uptempo funk/R&B workouts thrown in. (I've never thought that Stevie's ballads were his strongest suit).[/QUOTE]
I think the only bad thing people could say about 'A Time 2 Love' is that there's not too much of "re-invention" from Stevie's part. It's a very safe album that will indeed satisfy most fans who expect Stevie to stick to his trademark sound of R&B, funk, and soul from the 70s.

I just read on Yahoo! that iTunes will be exclusively offering a new Stevie Wonder box set coming out a week before his new CD. The box set will supposedly contain over 570 tracks!
That's gonna be one hu-fucking-mongous box set!
