ヘリテッジ
当時の時代の最先端のリズムを融合したPOPなアルバム。
初めてRAPを全面的に取り入れEarth,Wind & FireがSTREETに飛び出した感じ！
過去のアルバムとはこれもかなり印象が違うからEWFファンの中には好きになれない人がいるかも・・・
だけどストリート系MUSICが大好きな俺は大のお気に入りアルバムで今でもしょっちゅう聴いております・
MC Hammer, Sly Stone, Boysなどをゲストも豪華！
EWFとラップの見事な融合はこのアルバムから始まったんだね！
シングルカットされた”Wanna Be the Man”はPhilip Baileyの高音コーラスとMC Hammerのラップが見事なハーモニーを完成させているし、
Boysの可愛いラップとEWFのコラボはめちゃ微笑ましい。
Gary Bias, Reggie Young, Ray Brownらの新Earth,Wind&Fire Hornsの響きも心地いいし、
Robert Brookinsも全面的に参加！
突っ走るだけではなく ”I'm in Love”みたいなしっとりとした曲もフューチャーされていて・・・
まさに新生EWF!
アルバム作りには前作の”Touch The World"と違ってちゃんとメンバーが参加しているしね。
