Stevie Wonder to release two albums next year!!

Stevie Wonder has released only two studio albums in the past 20 years -- 1995'sConversation Piece and 2005's A Time to Love. But he says he'll be putting out a pair of new recordings next year and is working on a third.

First up, he says, is a collaboration with producer David Foster titled When the World Began, featuring orchestral versions of some of his biggest hits. Then comes Ten Billion Hearts, on which he says he's incorporated some elements of hip-hop to convey political messages. He's also working on a gospel recording, inspired by the death of his mother.
