Various Artists
Interpretations: Celebrating The Music Of Earth, Wind & Fire
(CD
Stax)
The music of this
great soul group is performed by a slew of contemporary R&B artists, each
infusing the infectious rhythms and exciting chord changes of EW&F with his
or her own style. Chaka Khan takes charge with “Shining Star,” Kirk
Franklin adds a personal rap to “September,” Meshell N’DegeOcello
makes “Fantasy” political and Mint Condition sends shivers down the
spine with a shimmering “After The Love Is Gone.”
