Kirk's Done It Again!
Posted April 05, 2011
By musiqman03,
So I'm in love with the latest offering from gospel's favorite "nephew", Kirk Franklin. From the musically subtle but lyrically poignant opening track ("Hello Fear", best breakup song I've ever heard!) to the last note I found myself on a journey of contemplation, celebration, introspection and, finally, FREEDOM!
My pick hits would have to be "Before I Die" (a markedly DC go-go feel cranked all the way up!), "The Altar" (Sunday morning at its best), "Give Me That", "Everyone Hurts" and last, but far from least, "Something About The Name Jesus Part 2". I had to mention "Something About The Name..." last so that I could use the next few sentences to gush over how much I adore every singer featured on the track. I'm Fan #1 when it comes to John P. Keem, I grew up on the Winans so having Bishop Marvin Winans was an immediate sell for me, I think Isaac Carree's vocal cords are made of gold and Rance Allen just tickles me with his old school grunts & screams, lol!
I've always been a fan of Kirk's but I must say that the lyrical content on this album seems significantly stronger on this album than those in the past. Two thumbs up for "Hello Fear", I encourage all to purchase & support! You won't be disappointed!
