Illumination

Illumination plus bonus track / Earth,Wind & Fire



This is the latest album of Earth,Wind & Fire for now .

Earth,Wind & Fire did coraborate with many luxurious artists.
Such as Brian McKnight，Kenny G，Floetry, Rapheal Saadiq, Will.I.Am, Kelly Rowland、…
And more!

This project was orijinally planned for the next solo album of Philp Bailey.
It seems that the plan was changed all too soon.

There is also a name of Maurice White and Philip Bailey in Excective Producer, the respective songs were making by other artists.

But this album builds into a modern EWF sound tightly.
I was so excited to listen to the gorgeous harmony of guests and Maurice or Philip!
2 songs ,Love Together and Autumn, were added as bonus tracks to the Japanese version , EWF fans have to have this!!

By the way, I hear that there exists the limited edition album with songs newly recorded for the customers of supermarket target .
Isn't there anyone who knows the way to get this?

Revernge

Revernge / Nathan East (2017)

Nathan East, a member of Four Play and known as a global bassist.
Here is his third solo album.

While performing with many artists ...
To be honest, this instruments are hard to become the main characters.

However, those two solos that have overcome such concerns are bestsellers.
※ I have not purchased, but ...

Well, this album.
Earth, Wind & Fire members participated in 2 songs.
The two songs are EWF's masterpieces "Love's Holiday" and "Serpentine Fire"

The song that inserts new syllables while keeping the original phrase is really nice.
Voice of Philip Bailey who participated in “Love's Holiday”.


Chorus is unique expression only this time, great satisfaction.

Also I felt happy with "Serpentine Fire".
Here, the vocals are featured from the beginning, so you can enjoy Philip Bailey's lead and back vocals.
Moreover, the chorus isn't the obligato of this song, which I'm used to listening to,
I got the impression like a new song, and recently started heavy rotation.

Lead vocalist is Philip Bailey.
Further ...
Verdin White on Bass
Ralph Johnson on Percussion

Also, Eric Clapton on guitar and Phil Collins on Drum.
Great collaboration!

EWF Japan Tour 2012

The day before yesterday, I felt like dreaming in the wild space  · · ·
I have not seen fit to work, in my head , music of EWF were ringing loud.


It was the day that EWF concert was in kokusai Forum in Tokyo.I can never miss that kind of chance to enjoy the music!


Mail has arrived to the mobile from my friend Kim , great fan of EWF the day before yesterday.
To summarize the content, something like this.She could not join the concert of EWF,
but she say three people to exercise the rest of  special privileges!
What a thing.


A wonderful gift was backstage pass of EWF!
Enter the hall.Boogie wonderland had played suddenly immediately after the Introduction!


'All standing from the beginning!
It was so amazing
!Have never heard insert the rhythm of techno   impression.
So Brririant performance full of new arrangement & sound!

Introduction
Boogie Wonderland
Jupiter
Serpentine Fire
Sing A Song
Shining Star
Kalimba Story
Love's Holiday
Can't Hide Love
Evil
That's The Way Of The World
After The Love Has Gone
Reasons
In The Stone
Devotion
Got To Get You Into My Life
Fantasy
September
Let's Groove
Mighty Mighty

To set the above list does not have much confidence.What is it about like this ·
"Somebody Screem!"


Favorite phrase of Pjilip Bailey/
After being shouted several times,  plunged into  long slow time period!
"Love"s Holiday"

 B David Withworth took a vocal that I listend for the first time,

Originally   Maurice White sung ,of course this song,But the time aroud 2000,Robret Brookins always perfomed this song,


Unfortunately he passed away, I loved Love's Holiday with his husky voice !
I remenber his voice at this time.


Show a slow time, such as "Devotion" "After The Love Has Gone" was quite long but a translation ·of our thought.

What band does one of the few in the world that can liven up the audience with a slow time like this?
This supreme hour.Not it end up even if there is a quiet live like this?
It was full of satisfaction and convinced me that if there were.EWF end this time strategy  with the up-tempo songs


"September" and "Let's Groove" is the intensity of the reaction of venue  · · ·
It was fresh in the Amazing live anyway!David will I move around I was so tireless as ever.


I Really Love Earth, Wind & Fire!


They've been great to service the increased vitality and sensitivity in a long time.
Gratitude!

Bobby Burns Jr / TrumpetBackstage of EWF 2012 ,


I nevrer thought that  a miracle would not happen twice already, we did not even want.


We could get into back stage last time in the kindness of  Kim !


It came  true face of excitement, of goose bumps, a shock, excitement with  EWF members,
I really thank  Kim!



EWF back stage for the second time ,
EWF members  already have been talking with guests .


The number of crazy fans like us mere cormorant and clearly less than two years ago and though.
Members of the band and that they have my favorite spots in the world around me!


In the room ,There were  members of EWF · · ·
In addition to the guest but the number of people that is was not just like us, 
clearly less than the previous.


First I talked  to Mr. McKinley, and I got his autograph.
I couldn't talk with Mr. John Paris at the last time.


"Mr.Paris!"


"Oh, Do you know me?"


"Ofcourse!"


I did not expect that he was so friendly








I taked to B David Whitworth.
This time I showed  the album "Have Fun" of 14 carat soul he was enrolled before!
I wanted him to write his name on that jaket!



His countenance was changed after a little talk with David!
David began to show  that CD to other members of EWF !
I heard later from David, the other members did know " 14 karat Soul "but ,to witness the first time itself is with a CD ·Settled at the conversation back to under David,
