I really Like it! Mid-tempo, laid-back groove...I actually like it better than anything on Raphael's new album....I wish they would at least release the damn thing as a single, it's bad enough that the album got pushed back to February!! sigh

I keep waiting to hear it on my local R&B/Quiet Storm station (the only station in my area that would play a new EW&F song),but I keep missing it sad

But it's getting a great reception from the fans who have heard it.

I've heard it on KBLX last week in the morning. That's the best time to listen for it. I didn't realize EW&F were on it until it was announced. It's a great song, but sounds like there's more Raphael, so I assumed it would be on his new one. Now we have to wait until next year for the new EW&F cd. I'm diggin Ray Ray. pimp

It's cool tune but kind of less than majestic for EW&F, don't you think?

I agree.It sounds kinda...ordinary and uneventful.Maybe it will grow on me,but I was expecting much more.

I'm sorry yall, I'm really diggin this!!!!! This is as close to the "old" EWF sound I've heard in a while. The horn arrangement could be better, but I'm loving this.

confused Yeah - The track,"Elevated" features Floetry--I dunno,it has more of a hip -hop thing -- a bit different for EWF----I'm not too crazy about it, but it is intriguing...

I hope the album isn't too hip-hop sounding.I was really impressed with 'The Promise' and I don't want them to stray too far from that formula.
