Earth, Wind & Fire
Reviewed by Raymond Fiore | Sep 16, 2005

Details Release Date: Sep 20, 2005; Lead Performance: Earth, Wind & Fire; Genres: R&B, Rock

The funk fire-starters make a surprisingly credible bid for relevance by pairing with the likes of will.I.am, Big Boi, and Raphael Saadiq. Earth, Wind & Fire's Illumination is a fluid, unforced marriage of modern beats and retro, horn-lined soul.
