Fifty years after Stevie Wonder released one of the most celebrated albums in music history, there is still more music to hear.

On September 28, 2026, Wonder marked the 50th anniversary of “Songs in the Key of Life” with a special four song EP featuring previously unreleased recordings from the original album sessions.

The newly released songs are “It’s Easier,” “My Life Story of Love,” “I Can See the Sun In Late December” and “I’m Into Livin’.”

Personally selected by Wonder, the recordings offer listeners another glimpse into the creative period behind the landmark 1976 album.

Five decades later, “Songs in the Key of Life” continues to influence generations of artists while its creator is still finding new ways to share its story.
