Drake works with Stevie Wonder on Take Care

Toronto-born actor/singer/rapper Drake has revealed that Motown icon Stevie Wonder not only served as a mentor on his forthcoming album, Take Care, but that he’ll appear on a total of six tracks.

"[Stevie Wonder] helped me out with a lot of the music; just came and sat with me, listened to my music, told me where I could add a couple things to make it more sonically appealing, and not only that, but we actually are writing together, which is an incredible experience," Drake told MuchMusic.

The pair surprised crowds at Toronto’s OVO Festival yesterday (August 1) when Wonder appeared onstage during Drake’s set to play a handful of his classic hits like Sir Duke, I Wish, My Cheri Amour, Ribbons In The Sky, Signed, Sealed, Delivered, and the much loved, Superstitious.

Drake’s sophomore album, Take Care, is slated for release on October 24 on Young Money Entertainment/Cash Money Records.
