Yeah, it's supposed to be released tomorrow in the UK.

You never know...It seems so fucked up that an artist this big has the CD finished but a dumbass record company decided to stop it...terrible!

Well, I'm gonna go into town and check to see if it's on the shelves, anyway. And if it is....

I think those papers are printed in advance and they usually have in the fine print something to the effect of "Release Dates are Subject to Change"... I'm sure a whole lot of people will be pissed none the less! You don't put it in the paper and then not deliver (it appears in ads from Best Buy (with the offer of free downloads), Circuit City (w/ a free Mother Day Card...that will be useless on June 14th, right?) and Meijer (possibly Media Play, but they don't put their ads on line). Those ads all have it priced as $9.99, which is a very good price. Want to know what is really dissapointing? There is apprently some Limp Bizcuit album, which has a white cover with black writing, which nobody knows or cares about (hasn't been mentioned here or by anyone I know) but that one will come out!

In slightly better "new" music/Motown news, it looks like Smokey's "Defintive Collection" will come out and only cost...$7.99!

In the Media Play ad which came in my Sunday newspaper,they're listing the album for a May 3 release,with the unbelievable sale price of $8.99 (probably only for the first week).

We will just have to wait.

Here's a review that was posted to a site just today.

Wonder’s ‘Love’ is so satisfying

Tunes of the week

The release date for Stevie Wonder’s new CD has been pushed back so many times over the past year that some fans wondered if the label would ever put it out.
Rumors about Wonder’s unhappiness with the sound quality of some cuts and concerns about the set’s commercial prospects have also been floating around, amplified every time the disc’s issue time was changed. But unless something else unexpected happens, this week A Time To Love (Motown/Universal) finally appears on the streets. Wonder recently answered some of his critics in a statement issued online that said, among other things, “my thing has never been about creating music on some sort of schedule.” Whatever the case, the disc’s first single “So What The Fuss” has an upbeat, optimistic and contemporary sensibility, setting the stage for a CD whose sentimental tone and decidedly upbeat lyrical themes are unusual in these cynical times. The title track features Wonder in a gorgeous duet with co-writer India.Arie, while other fine cuts include “From The Bottom Of My Heart” and “Positivity.” Wonder’s achievements, signature songs and monster releases are so great that whether this disc proves a smash won’t matter in the long run. But it would be great if his music enjoys the same reception that Prince’s CD received last year. Whatever the Soundscan results, it’s a pleasure to finally have A Time To Love in the marketplace.

..until tommorrow to wait and see if they have it....? I don't care, I'm going to Media Play to check....I'm breaking into the store room!

So you were probably just as disappointed as me, then

Despite a major hangover, I managed to jump up, get dressed, get into town and... NOTHING.

Stevie needs to get out of Motown, I'm sad to say. It sounds like they need him more than he needs them. What a waste of talent.
