About
Eleven albums into their storied career, 1981's <i>Raise!</i> shows that Earth, Wind & Fire's signature blend of soulful grooves and sweet pop hooks remains unmatched. In fact, kinetic leadoff "Let's Groove" is one of the band's most timeless singles, with a rubbery Verdine White bassline that fills any dance floor within seconds. The jazzy, romantic swing of "Wanna Be With You" showcases Philip Bailey's keening falsetto, while the jittery "I've Had Enough" adds a note of New Wave snap to these smooth, slick tunes.
