アヴェタ (CCCD)
”In The Name Of Love"がリリースされる前に日本のAVEXから世界に先駆けて発売されたEarth,Wind & Fireのニューアルバム。
”In The Name Of Love"に関しては改めてご紹介するけど・・・
それぞれで違う曲が数曲収録されているんだ。
こちらのアルバムでは”In The Name Of Love！には収録されていない
”Take You to Heaven”とインタールードの”Bahia”がある。
”Take You to Heaven”とはPhilip Baileyの高音が冴え渡る美しい官能的なナンバー。
曲順も違うし、この２枚はファンにとっては必須なアルバムだよね！
このアルバムは新生EWFといった内容で従来のEWFサウンドに加え、ストリート感あふれるグルーブが満載されている。
Earth,Wind & Fireのシングル１曲目である” Love Is Life”がリテイクされていることからも新しい旅立ちという意味合いがこのアルバムにはあるんじゃないかな？
Sheldon Reynoldsが初めてこのリードボーカルを担当！
Maurice White, Philip Bailey, Sheldon Reynolds
この３人の才能あるヴォーカリストが活躍するEWF唯一のアルバム！
このアルバム本当にすごい！
