Stevie Wonder – Higher Than the Sky [Lost Spiritual Tapes 1979] is a rare, imagined collection of unreleased studio sessions captured at the height of Stevie’s creative power — when soul, gospel, and funk became one universal voice.
These lost reels reveal a man reaching for heaven through groove and melody; a songwriter turning faith into rhythm and love into light.
🎶 The Lost Spiritual Sessions include:
“Romantic Soul” – a pure love groove in the warm Motown tradition, filled with harmony, hope, and tenderness.
“Higher Than the Sky” – a funk-spiritual anthem, both joyful and introspective, echoing the freedom of Songs in the Key of Life.
“Spirit of Love” – gospel keys meet syncopated soul drums and lush choir harmonies.
“Shine Again” – a slow-burn ballad of redemption and sunrise after pain.

Live bass and organic drums move with warmth and humanity.
Layered gospel vocals lift every chorus like a prayer.
🎧 Every song feels alive — recorded on analog tape, breathing, glowing.
It’s the sound of a Sunday morning turning into sunlight; a love letter to the soul, wrapped in rhythm.
