Stevie Wonder On Why He’s Always Felt Good About Writing Love Songs As A Black Man.

Stevie Wonder talks about how his Blackness influences his songwriting and views on love in the new Audible original podcast series, The Wonder of Stevie, now available for listening on Audible.

In the exclusive clip below, Morris asks Wonder about the concept of love and how he approaches love in his songs, especially as a Black man. Morris states that writing love songs as a Black man is a somewhat radical act in the face of racism and discrimination. Wonder said that for him, writing about love is a part of who he is and who he aspires to be.

The seven-episode series also includes over 40 songs from Wonder’s albums, with the final episode bringing Wonder and Barack Obama together with Morris in the studio to talk about the issues and wonder (pun intended) of the current times, as well as Wonder’s legacy. Barack and Wonder also sing Golden Lady together.

Wonder also added that there are two forces in the world we must choose from: “One that’s positive that’ll move you forward, and one that’s negative that will always keep you in the same place for as long as you take yourself to that lower level.”
