Earth Wind & Fire's umpteenth album since the band's first incarnation in Chicago at the dawn of the '70s may lack its founding member--Maurice White retired from active duty in 1996 suffering from Parkinson's disease--but all the familiar elements are otherwise in place, notably Philip Bailey's extraordinary vocal range and a plethora of horn-driven arrangements. If the tempos have slowed down a little with time, the songwriting and musicianship remain in full effect, particularly on such smooch-worthy cuts as "Hold Me" and "Wonderland," the latter in particular featuring an irresistible chorus interwoven with the band's trademark sinuous horn lines. THE PROMISE is the softer side of EW&F, but softer in this case isn't shorthand for dull--the rhythms sway, Bailey's voice is still in improbably magnificent form, and the music still sounds as effortless as it always did. THE PROMISE delivers the whole Earth, Wind & Fire package in its glorious, theatrical entirety.

スタジオ録音作としては実に7年ぶりとなるアース・ウインド&ファイアの新作が登場。アンジー・ストーンとルーツの参加も話題の今作は、モーリス・ホワイトやフィリップ・ベイリーをはじめとする黄金期のメンバーが再集結し、今様にアップデイトされつつも、カリンバの音色から豪華なホーン・セクション、華麗に広がるコーラス・ワークなどEW&Fオリジナルなサウンドがぎっしり。フィリップのファルセットもいまだ超人的!
