Eight years since the release of their 2005 Grammy-nominated album, “Illumination,” Earth, Wind & Fire is set to return with their latest studio offering, “Now, Then & Forever.” Initially intended for a 2012 release to coincide with the presidential election, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers are capitalizing off the recent success of Robin Thicke and Daft Punk’s nostalgic chart-topping hits by embracing their trademark sound for the 10-track opus. In a recent interview with The Huffington Post, bassist Verdine White revealed details on recording the September 10 opus in addition to his thoughts on sustaining longevity in the music industry.
