I know we just got out of school and thoughts of returning should be far far away, but this ode to the month of September is just too fresh not to share! More like the sounds of summer than an ode to the return of class, this funky groove just feels good on the soul!
James Egbert takes a rarely-touched classic and turns it into something that flits so elegantly from one style to the next. He builds up the excitement with what sounds like a classic build, transitions into funkalicious horns, then explodes into feel-good-bouncy synth work. Just when you're grooving hard to a song you think will be free of lyrics, a full two minutes in Egbert lets loose Earth Wind & Fire's amazing words, and from there on out the song is unstoppable. One of the greatest genre and era benders I've heard in a long time (and it's free!). Welcome summmmmmmmmmertime!
If you're a traditionalist, are fond of psychedelic kaleidoscopic cameras, and fancy a great song, look no further than Earth, Wind & Fire's original!
