Kirk Franklin: Album
built 605 days ago
Hailing from Fort Worth, TX, Kirk Franklin was leading the choir in his Baptist church by the age of 11, and before long, he was contributing material to numerous successful gospel artists. A smash straight out of the gate with his 1994 debut album, Franklin quickly became the biggest gospel star of the '90s, a musical wunderkind who, if he was performing secular material, would probably be ranked with the likes of Stevie Wonder or Prince. Ever the crossover king, he's led a number of ensembles, including the Nu Nation Project and God's Property, to both the gospel and the pop charts.

Kirk Franklin has always been up front about his struggles. For example, the gospel singer talked about his addiction to pornography and referenced it in the song "Let It Go," which was on the 2005 album Hero. Franklin's willingness to admit his struggles with his demons, his understanding of popular culture and respect for secular musical styles like hip-hop, R&B and pop have led some to criticize him for being too worldly. However, Jesus is always the main topic of Franklin's music even when he is drawing inspiration from secular artists such as Tears For Fears, Patrice Rushen, Earth, Wind & Fire, or, on "Declaration, the opening song on Franklin's new The Fight of My Life, Kenny Loggins.
