Alicia Keys Performs With Stevie WonderAlicia Keys Performs With Stevie Wonder At The 2012 Billboard Music Awards

Rocking an all black couture gown that hugged her in all of the right places paired with Brian Atwood heels, Alicia Keys took to the stage to sing a duet with none other than music legend Stevie Wonder last night at the Billboard Music Awards. Stevie was being recognized for the 2012 Icon Award which Alicia presented him with, and the two voices joined forces to sing two of Stevie’s classics: ‘Higher Ground’ and the lovely ‘Overjoyed.’

This isn’t the first time the pair sang at an awards show together. In 2004, they sang ‘Higher Ground’ together at the MTV Music Awards.

Drake To Collaborate With Stevie Wonder On New Album ‘Take Care’

This is something I definitely didn’t see coming. Toronto native Drake is taking his upcoming album Take Care to a whole different level. According to Drake, he’s been in the studio working on R&B music with the legendary Stevie Wonder. Who would have ever thought that Stevie Wonder would serve as musical mentor to Drake? Stevie Wonder will be featured on a song called Doing It Wrong. Drake had this to say about the experience,
“With Stevie it was a musical thing. I had a song that’s very powerful, it’s called “Doing It Wrong” and Stevie boosted it to another level. … It’s a great piece of music. He brought life to it. I was only trying to use extremely strong R&B songs on this album if I’m going to use R&B at all. Before I’d have scattered interludes and songs where I’m experimenting with things. Here, I wanted to get back to “Brand New,” “Bria’s Interlude” days. … I’m going to do the type of R&B I’m good at. With Stevie it’s hard for me to explain. It’s an incredible thing I witnessed that night. He heard a song that he saw some potential in and he added some key pieces that made it come to life.”
Drake is definitely stepping out of the box with this new album and if he keeps this kind of work up, I’m sure he can tap into an even bigger fan base. What do you think of Drake and Stevie Wonder collaborating together? Do this new make you anxious to hear the album?
