Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their highly fruitful partnership with visionary producer Norman Whitfield, the legendary Detroit vocal group dove further into heavy, rhythm-driven funk and cinematic soul. Navigating a period of significant personnel turnover, the release maintains their seamless vocal interplay against a backdrop of socially conscious lyricism and sprawling, fuzz-drenched orchestrations.
