Stevie Wonder Sizzles For Obama

By Paul Cashmere
Sun, 18 Jan 2009 03:43:27 +1100

Stevie Wonder has written the song `All About Love Again` for Barack Obama`s inauguration.

The song will feature on the compilation album ‘The Obama Soundtrack’ and released on Inauguration Day, January 20.

Wonder is Obama’s musical hero. When asked by Rolling Stone who his major musical influence was, Obama said, “If I had one musical hero, it would have to be Stevie Wonder. When I was at that point where you start getting involved in music, Stevie had that run with Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Fulfillingness’ First Finale and Innervisions, and then Songs in the Key of Life. Those are as brilliant a set of five albums as we’ve ever seen.”

Wonder’s song is an uptempo R&B track, and one of the hottest pieces of music he has recorded in decades.

Other artists on the album include Black Eyed Peas, Sheryl Crow, Lenny Kravitz, Usher, James Taylor, Jennifer Hudson, Death Cab for Cutie, Robin Thicke, The Tony Rich Project, Bebe Winans, rapper Common, Lionel Richie, and Melissa Etheridge.
