A Time To Love is the long awaited follow-up album to Stevie Wonder's 1995 studio release Conversation Peace. Originally to be released in 2004, it finally was released to stores on October 18, 2005. However, the album was released electronically, exclusively on Apple's iTunes Music Store, on September 27 (if you have iTunes installed, you can click here to go straight to the album). All release dates set in the first three quarters of 2005 were missed. There were many rumors that Stevie was not happy with the album and wasn't going to release it until he was satisfied with it. The first single was "So What The Fuss", which featured Prince on the guitar. Finally, in late September, Motown released the album digitally, with an album release scheduled for the middle of October 2005. Rumor has it that Stevie wanted to make the Grammy deadline, which he managed to do, releasing the album the day of the deadline. The album is currently in record stores.
