=== Into the 21st century: Later career and collaborations ===
In 2000, Wonder contributed two new songs to the soundtrack for [[Spike Lee]]'s ''[[Bamboozled]]'' album ("Misrepresented People" and "Some Years Ago").<ref>{{cite web|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r500165|pure_url=yes}}|title=Bamboozled – Overview|work=allmusic|access-date=November 17, 2008}}</ref> Wonder continues to record and perform; though mainly occasional appearances and guest performances, he did do two tours, and released one album of new material, 2005's ''[[A Time to Love (album)|A Time to Love]]''. In June 2006, Wonder made a guest appearance on [[Busta Rhymes]]' album ''[[The Big Bang (Busta Rhymes album)|The Big Bang]]'', on the track "Been through the Storm". He sings the refrain and plays the piano on the [[Dr. Dre]]- and [[Sha Money XL]]–produced track. He appeared again on the last track of [[Snoop Dogg]]'s 2006 album ''[[Tha Blue Carpet Treatment]]'', "Conversations". The song is a remake of "Have a Talk with God" from ''[[Songs in the Key of Life]]''. In 2006, Wonder staged a duet with [[Andrea Bocelli]] on the latter's album ''[[Amore (Andrea Bocelli album)|Amore]]'', offering harmonica and additional vocals on "Canzoni Stonate". Wonder also performed at Washington, D.C.'s 2006 ''[[A Capitol Fourth]]'' celebration.

Wonder's first new album in 10 years, ''[[A Time to Love (album)|A Time to Love]]'', was released in October 2005 to lower sales than previous albums, and lukewarm reviews—most reviewers appearing frustrated at the end of the long delay to get an album that mainly copied the style of Wonder's "classic period" without doing anything new.<ref>{{cite book|page=87|title=Stevie Wonder: Musician|first= Jeremy K. |last= Brown|publisher=Infobase Publishing|year= 2010}}</ref> The first single, "[[So What the Fuss]]", was released in April. A second single, "[[From the Bottom of My Heart (Stevie Wonder song)|From the Bottom of My Heart]]", was a hit on adult-contemporary [[Rhythm and blues|R&B]] radio. The album also featured a duet with [[India Arie]] on the title track "A Time to Love".

Wonder did a 13-date tour of North America in 2007, starting in [[San Diego]] on August 23; this was his first U.S. tour in more than 10 years.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/stevie-wonder-announces-thirteen-date-tour-with-surprise-los-angeles-concert-20070802|title=Stevie Wonder Announces Thirteen-Date Tour|last=Wood|first=Mikael|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=August 2, 2007}}</ref> On September 8, 2008, he started the European leg of his Wonder Summer's Night Tour, the first time he had toured Europe in more than a decade. His opening show was at the [[National Indoor Arena]] in [[Birmingham]], in the [[English Midlands]].

His performance shown in the documentary included "[[It's Your Thing]]" by [[the Isley Brothers]] and a drum solo.
