Illumination (Earth, Wind & Fire album). Illumination is the 19th album by R&B band Earth, Wind & Fire. It was released in September 2005 on Sanctuary Records. The recording process for Illumination was originally conceived as a solo album for singer Philip Bailey. He recorded songs for the project "This Is How I Feel", "Work It Out" and "Elevated". A few months into recording, Bailey wanted to shift the focus of the project. He decided to make it into an Earth, Wind & Fire album- a move that was inspired by his oldest son, who co-wrote the song "Work It Out". Bailey reached out to the remaining members of the band to help work on what became their next studio recording.

Earth Wind and Fire have a career that stretches back to the early seventies and average an album almost every eighteen months. Many were produced by founder, Maurice White, but new fingers are at the controls on this occasion. Good vibes and danceability are the band's stock in trade but they are also masters of mixing up the genres.

Illumination is an album by R&B band Earth, Wind & Fire. It featured collaborations with several artists including Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Kenny G, Kelly Rowland, Will I Am, and Brian McKnight. Illumination debuted at number 32 on the Billboard 200 Chart, and number 8 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart. Raymond Fiore of Entertainment Weekly described the album as "a fluid, unforced marriage of modern beats and retro, horn-lined soul".
On Illumination, the 23rd record of their extraordinary career, Earth, Wind & Fire collaborate with generations of appreciative artists that have gleaned profound inspiration from their work. The influence is crystal-clear when Black Eyed Peas leader Will. I. Am shouts "Jump up, freak or hustle/Do what you want, just move every muscle," then mimics EWF's peppery horn and kalimba lines on his rousing "Lovely People.
Earth, Wind & Fire is the self-titled debut studio album by the band Earth, Wind & Fire, released in February 1971 by Warner Bros. The album got to No. 24 on the Billboard Top Soul Albums chart. Off the album the track Love Is Life rose to No. 43 on the Billboard Hot Soul Songs chart.
