This album released from the former work after an interval of indeed six years.
I was made to wait fairly.
It was put on the market from Avex im Japan after added 2 bonus tracks.
Splendid uniting of peculiar horn and beautiful chorus work.
It is a composition of the collected music abundant the variety.
"Never" is a fit tune in summer when the firstly rhythm of Latin was taken with
Earth and Wind & Fire .
The ballade sweet, gentle "Hold Me" was nominated to Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance of this year.
The best charm of this album, I think, is a that the young members of EWF at that time was participating.
B Davod Whitworth, Robert Brookins、Krystal Johnson
Moreover ,we can see the names in background vocals,
Fred White，Ralph Johnson、Emotions
Anyway, I wanted to listen to the lead vocal of Robert Brookins in the album while he was in EWF!
