(June 24, 2013) What more can be said about Earth Wind & Fire? They’re one of the most important bands of all-time, and they have created a legacy of great music that is tough to match.
We’re getting ready for their next album, Now, Then & Forever, slated for a September 10 release, but in the meantime the group has released a single from the album, the very EWF-sounding “My Promise.” It sounds like 1980 again — a great Summer jam, filled with horns and a funky beat.
Take a listen and tell us what you think!
“The Now, Then & Forever album is really about the legacy of Earth, Wind & Fire”, said co-founder Philip Bailey. “The spirit of the band has always been about uplifting the consciousness of humanity. There’s a hope that this Earth, Wind & Fire music will go on forever.”
“The album gave us the opportunity to tie everything together musically and culturally,” said EWF’s co-founder Verdine White. “Without the support of the fans around the world, the Earth, Wind & Fire journey would not have been possible. We dedicate this album, Now, Then & Forever, to all the fans.”
