Listen to Wonder’s inspiring message for today’s global challenges below…
Speaking on ‘Can’t Put It In The Hands Of Fate’, Wonder shared:
“When I first wrote it a few years ago, the melody and music and idea, it was about a relationship… a guy saying ‘I really love you’ and the girl saying, ‘Okay, we’ll see… we’ll just put it in the hands of fate.’ And then most recently I was listening to the old things I had done and never finished the words to, and I was thinking about where we are in the world. And I was thinking about how this is most crucial time. … Not just Black people or people of color but young people everywhere are going, ‘This is not acceptable.’ … Change is right now. We can’t put it in the hands of fate. Ain’t nobody got time to wait.We can’t put voting in the hands of fate. … The universe is watching us. And for me, we’ve got to vote justice in and injustice out. That’s just what time it is. That’s down the ballot by the way, from your local to your state to your national — handle that.”
Wonder has featured on songs with Ariana Grande, Snoop Dogg, Big Sean and Mark Ronson since his last studio album ‘A Time To Love‘ in 2005.
