Album Review: Holiday by Earth, Wind & Fire

Blessed is the Soul of Man in the light of Heaven

Album Review by Joseph Timmons: Xombiewoof Magazine

Earth, Wind & Fire has been and still is on the cutting edge of R&B, time and time again their albums have made the top of the list of every chart possible, so it is no wonder that this iconic group would come out with a holiday celebration album that merges traditional songs of Joy with new creations of inspiration.

Simply named Holiday, the newest and soon to be revered offering by Earth, Wind & Fire, brings the reason for the season home with enchanting stylizing of the traditional favorites, Winter Wonderland, Sleigh Ride, Jingle Bell Rock, Joy to the World, yet also gives us new original compositions titled Every day is Christmas, Happy Seasons and December which are illuminating and uplifting.

Holiday is Earth, Wind & Fire’s 21^st studio album, their last album, Now, Then & Forever, also under the Legacy label debuted in the top of the Billboard 200 on its release in 2013, one of the bands highest charting albums.

Holiday is an inspiring testament to the joy of faith and in the belief of brotherhood and unity through love and understanding, and under the guiding light of the eternal spirit, we are one. Start this Holiday season off right and give yourself this gift of music, forged by Earth, Wind & Fire, and May the spirit of peace guide you home.

In the 70’s Earth Wind & Fire took the music scene in a spiritual and soulful storm, breaking every record and crossing every boundary imaginable. With a multi-platform sound of Soul, Funk, R&B and rock enhanced rhythms, they were more than met the eyes or the ears. Not to be considered just “Another Disco Band” they looked to create a musical universe that the human soul would gravitate to and shine as a celestial body of eternal love and harmony in a vast darkness. As a group that would inspire countless performers and groups to come after them, it can be said they are the founding fathers or the present R&B music scene, inspiring artists such as Point of Grace, D ‘Angelo, CDB, Dionne Warwick, The 5th Dimension, Lenny White, Patti LaBelle, The Manhattans, Wynonna Judd, Chaka Khan, Herb Alpert and many more.

One may think that Earth Wind & Fire, after such a rich and enduring legacy of music and award winning, chart topping hits would have exhausted their song writing genius, yet it is just the contrary, Earth Wind & Fire’s new album Now, Then & Forever is fresh, original and what the world needs, songs of a spiritual nature, of loves delight and visions of a world in harmony and peace that will remain eternal.

 

Earth Wind & Fire

Composed of 10 new songs that are balanced and harmonic, this album resonates with the listener, soothing and hip; you move to the beat and feel their radiance in the air. From the beginning of this album to the end, the bass rhythms, airy keyboards and the silky sounds of their voices rising up to the sky, a religious experience in music. Perfect timing and just a bit of funk to get the body moving, songs like “Got To Be Love”, “Love is Law”, “Night of My Life”, “My Promise”, “The Rush” and “Dance Floor” are emotionally driving and rock steady stone solid grooves.

Earth Wind & Fire – Now, Then & Forever is the new sun in the center of the musical galaxy of today’s R&B / Soul infused Universe, If you have not yet experienced Earth Wind & Fire, get into the groove and witness the rebirth of high spiritual soul and feel the freedom of a loving spirit.
