Earth, Wind & Fire
One of the best things about Earth, Wind & Fire was their diversity. Sure, they could lay down a beautiful ballad, but they also created some of the hottest horn-based dance tracks known to man. “Beautiful Ballads” opts to tell only half of this story.
Apparently, this is Sony/Legacy’s short-sighted, transparent stab at recycling classic material from their vaults in time for Valentine’s Day. It isn’t a bad idea per se, especially if you flinched at the raw energy of “Serpentine Fire,” or recoiled at the intensity of “Getaway.” If you need a soundtrack that will help you to ‘get lucky,’ then this may do the trick; “All About Love,” “Fantasy” and “Be Ever Wonderful” are lovely sentiments graced with lush musical arrangements. If that’s what you’re aiming for, then good luck – I only hope that she doesn’t get too excited and ask to hear “September” or “Shining Star.”
