Earth Wind & Fire announced in a recent interview with Click Track that for the past week they have been working very hard on a new album. They decided to just go back into the studio and not work with computers and focus on driving the creative process from themselves. They are aiming on finishing their album titled "Earth Wind & Fire - Yesterday, Today & Forever" this summer.
"It’s going to have some remixes by some [top] producers of some of the catalog stuff, and some new music as well. And then a couple of songs that were not A-list songs in our catalog that we’ll bring from the “Fire” catalog" says Philip Bailey.
The band is also very interested in Janelle Monae, in fact they love her! Who knows we might see a groovy collaboration between all of them in the future.
Earth Wind & Fire are celebrating their 40th anniversary with a concert at the Kennedy Center tonight. The group will be playing with students from the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Georgetown.
