Stevie Wonder
has influenced a lot of people with his music and there's been
artists alike who are also fans of his work. I think it's safe to
say that Nnenna
Freelon is one such
fan. The 5 time grammy nominated vocalist will release her next
album consisting entirely of Stevie Wonder reininditions. The album
called 'Tales Of
Wonder: Celebrating Stevie Wonder',
will be in stores on June 11 and will feature all together a
collection of 11 tunes written by Stevie and reinterpreted by Nnenna
in the jazz spirit.
Also collaborating on the project is an impressive collection of
jazz musicians including guitarist Chuck
Loeb, percussionist Bashiri
Johnson, bassist Gerald
Veasley, and drummer Woody
Williams.
Some of my personal Stevie
Wonder songs are present here including the popular ballad 'Overjoyed',
the unmistakable 'My
Cherie Amour', 'Another
Star' and 'All
In Love Is Fair.'
This one should not
be overlooked though it won't be out for a couple of months so when
you can find it pick it up. A TY-D
pick here.
