Needs rock guitar and wall of sound percussion; especially drums. More EWF than Chicago..bummer. No trombone. EWF is too tinny in parts. Might have worked 20 yrs ago but ain't cuttin it
the track was written by the EWF musical director, and the lyrics and melody were co-written by Philip Bailey and this new young artist Ryan McDermott - look him up on youtube. definitely an amazing song!
You know i would buy this song, however listening for Chicago voices. Bill is not my idea of a Chicago original voice. I had no idea Bill had left Chicago
bad horn combo.. at the concert it was evident that the mighty became even mighty mighty with ewf and chicago. i really enjoyed. both are so dynamic. I being a great ewf fan but chicago has been in my life as well i've enjoyed the music. you will enjoy the concert
There DVD of their concert a few yrs ago was such a huge success, I'm surprised it has taken them this long to produce some studio work, but glad to hear it.
Interesting to see how they have blended their signature horn arr. EWF's few bars at a time Staccato horn arr v Chicago's longer passages w/ several Crescendos & Diminuendos in many phrased. Nice blending of their styles. Look forward to a CD release soon.
Great collaboration. I am a huge fan of both groups. I hope this becomes a successful hit record. EWF had a great comback album in 1993 and Chicago's comback in 1997 was just as good.
to me, it has EWF sound all through it. But true, it also could be on a Robert Lamm solo album. It's a very good song, those who love R7B/Jazz will like it very much. I hope the EWF/Chicago album could be a reality because it would be very good for both bands careers, and it's kind of an innovative thing. It's not so usual for two different bands to get together to do a whole album!! Time will tell if this turns into a reality.
