Stevie Wonder Delays New CD For A Third time
Stevie Wonder apologized to fans once again for the delay in his upcoming new CD titled A Time 2 Love, which was supposed to be released June 14th. The album which has been postponed twice before, marks Wonder's first new
album in a decade. Wonder told Newsweek that, "Time is making the album better, I can only apologize in that I did say it would be ready on this or that date. So much has happened in the last year, it caused me to think differently about how I would organize the record."
The CD, which will feature Wonder's longtime friend Paul McCartney on one track, was originally set to be released last January before being postponed. A May 3rd release date also came and went with no new disc. Newsweek is now reporting that due to some last-minute tweaking, the CD missed its latest release date last week.
Still, Wonder denies feeling any undue pressure from Motown, admitting, "Obviously, they would have liked to have had it yesterday. The reason they haven't got it is I'm not ready to give it to them." He added: "However long it takes me, I'm giving the very best that I can... I won't settle for less."
Motown still expects A Time 2 Love to be out by the end of the month. Sylvia Rhone, the new CEO of Motown Records, says, "As music lovers, we are way past due to have Stevie back in our lives."
On July 2nd, Wonder will be performing outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art for the U.S. Live 8 concert.
On July 4th, he'll join Patti LaBelle and others at Elton John's Philadelphia Freedom Concert, also outside of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, to benefit HIV/AIDS programs.

Para el que no entienda inglés el artículo basicamente dice que el álbum se vuelve a retrasar porque Stevie no está listo todavía para sacarlo. No hay fecha, en Motown todavía esperan que el álbum pueda salir este mes, pero vete tú a saber :cuñao.
También dice que el álbum tendrá una colaboración con Paul McCartney y que Stevie actuará el 2 de Julio en el concierto Live 8 de USA y el día 4 en un concierto benéfico en el mismo sitio.
Salu2!
