2009年の今現在、Earth,Wind & Fireの最新アルバム！
Earth,Wind & Fireが様々な豪華アーティストとコラボしたユニークなアルバム。
これまでも様々なゲストを迎えてアルバムを製作してきた彼らだが、こ
こまで大幅に他のアーティストと一緒は初めて。
Excective ProducerにはMaurice WhiteとPhilip Baileyも名を連ねているが、
それぞれの曲自体は他のプロデューサーによるもの。
Maurice Whiteが実質的にプロデュースしていないＥＷＦアルバムはこれが初めてなんじゃないかな？
なので曲に関しても彼らがライティングしたものはない。
だけど、しっかり今風のＥＷＦサウンドに仕上がっているんだよね。
ＥＷＦを尊敬するアーティストたちが彼らの音の魅力をよく知っていることと、
ＥＷＦ唯一無二のサウンドが俺たちにそう聴かせるんだろうなぁ〜
もともとはPhilip Baileyのソロアルバムのために準備されていたプロジェクトだったらしいんだけど・・・
いつの間にかＥＷＦのプロジェクトへと変わってしまっていたよう。
Brian McKnight，Kenny G，Floetry, Rapheal Saadiq, Will.I.Am, Kelly Rowlandなど・・・
豪華すぎて、どの曲もばっちしの完成度。
それぞれのアーティストの声とPhilipやMauriceの声の絡み具合がもうなんとも言えずエキサイティングでございます。
日本盤にはボーナストラックとしてLove Together 、Autumn の2曲が追加されているので
どうせ購入するなら絶対にこっちがお勧め！
ちなみにこのアルバムにはスーパーマーケットターゲットの顧客用に未収録曲を追加した限定版のアルバムが製作されているんだけど・・・誰かこの特別ＣＤの入手方法知らない？
