Rebirth of Kirk Franklin

Advantages: Something for everyone.
Disadvantages: Can depend on your musical taste

This is a very good CD from a very accomplished gospel artist in Kirk Franklin. There are some very good praise and worship ballads on this cd, which are sung from the heart, which makes it all the more special! I saw Kirk Franklin when he came to the Royal Albert Hall, London in 2002. It was a wonderful concert experience! I will review each of the tracks on this cd. 1) Intro - This takes the form of a prayer from Kirk Franklin's grandmother praying ...
...Kirk completing the prayer in a scene years later. Quite an interesting introduction. 2) Hosanna - The introduction starts off with Kirk talking and preparing folks for the song ahead, then launches into a praise song done by female voices initially, with the male voices coming in later. The voice mixture is wonderful particularly when they enter into a short time of accapella. Kirk Franklin likes to say the words, and the singers sing them. A very ...

Review of Rebirth Of Kirk Franklin, The - Kirk Franklin

R'n'b at it's best but with a message

Advantages: Absolutely brilliant
Disadvantages: None!

Wow, what an album. And before I go any further, I am adding this as an afterthought and because of comments received, and something I had not thought of at the time of writing the review - and that is that the music is so good there is no reason why it should not be enjoyed by a secular audience - yes it is Christian in message, but if you enjoy r & b/hip hop there is plenty here to keep you happy - I mean, you might not necessarily agree with all ...
...not as the case may be!) his stuff does it? .So give it a go! Anyway, I almost didn't buy it because I hated the cover and was expecting something way too hip hoppy and far from God - but I got it for £1 on eBay so thought it was worth the risk! And how wrong my fears were, it is an absolutely amazing album. I still don't like the garish colours and there is nothing to make you think you are looking at a Christian album, but maybe I am just old! ...

Review of Nu Nation Project - Kirk Franklin

The best United's live cd

Advantages: lively and inspired
Disadvantages: you kidding me? of couse there's no disadvantage, it's United, c'mon!!

That's the album that made me like Hillsong United. The sound of the young people from one of the most famous churchs is a very exciting worship, with touching lyrics, that make you praise our God, be the song agitated or calm. Most of the songs have well made guitar riffs, that make them more interesting, specially for young people, and the ones who love rock. This album has some of the "classics" of Hillsong United, like "The Time Has Come", "Take ...

...years before her next album. Believe features two collaborations from as follows Karen Clark Sheard and T-Bone and the album was released on Elektra Records. **Believe** 1 Never Give Up 2 I Gotta Believe 3 Fo' Sho' 4 Thank You 5 Song Of Faith 6 Unconditional 7 Anything 8 Only If God Says Yes 9 Since The Last Time I Saw You 10 I'm Gonna Be Ready 11 Darling Girl 12 I'm Thankful Opening things up is the great ballad "Never Give Up" which was recorded ...
...Centre on 11th September 2001. This is an inspiring song about standing strong despite challenging things in your life. "I Gotta Believe" is up next and this is a really impressive track which has an interesting beat which sounds like a mix between an R&B ballad and a dance track with it's stop start motion. This is another very good track indeed which further develops thanks to the nice background orchestral part which adds a nice touch. Track three ...
