Soulful artists such as Musiq Soul Child, Chaka Khan, dwele and Lela Hathaway interpret the tongues of legendary icons, Earth, Wind and Fire on the CD "Interpretations."
About the changing seasons in life, the lead single "September" from Franklin continues the style of the infectious dance groove of "Looking for You," enjoyed by many on the smash Patrice Rushen classic
re-introduced on Franklin's platinum selling "Hero" album.
Always thought of as a caged secular artist, this is about the closest Franklin has ever come to actually crossing over. "Interpretations" is chock full of EWF re-makes and collaborations with other artists who love the venerable group.
Franklin is the only artist on the album repping for gospel. Whether his take on the album is a departure from Gospel is moot on all levels. Franklin's a gospel music revisionist and EWF's deeply spiritual connection to music is "gospel" to their millions of loyal followers.
