Great news: VH1 is streaming EW&F's new album, The Promise, on their site. It is the full recording, not clips.

I am loving it so far (track 5 as I type this). Go listen and see what you think.

Peace, David

I did listen to it cduniverse.com have the FULL LENGTH tracklist and its a good mellow LP

Thank u!

On track 5 now. It's a nice cut and the best so far. Hope the album gets better though, because it's been so-so thus far. The vocals are really mediocre on a few of the early tracks.

ok down to track 11 and it's definitely gotten better. Love the interludes. Only hope some good up tempo stuff is towards the end. I like the mellow vibe but I want to still hear my boys funk.

my All-Time Favorite Band but the Album is Alright to me.nothing aside from track 5&some Parts have moved me yet.6 Years is a Long wait for a Album like this that they could have had out in a year easily.Missing the Funk&Swing for me.

Totally agree. If it wasn't an EWF album I would rate it higher. It just doesn't have the same vibe and quality song writing I expect from something with the elements name on it. Although it's not a "traditional" sounding EWF song, "Dirty" is pretty funky. Outside of that, the album is a little too low key. While it's a step up from their last album, I must say I'm a little disappointed with this one.
