Caesar’s gritsy traditional appeal on this Franklin tune is a good fit. Shirley Caesar steps into “Caught Up” and producer Sanchez Harley fashions a wonderful sound package with the crying words ‘’caught up to meet Him, can’t wait to see Him when he cracks the sky” searing the song into place. The praise is instantly accessible, you know the song is working after only five or six bars the hallmark of great writing. On “Hosanna”, Franklin takes a beautiful melody line of praise and ties it to multiple modulations as the song generates more hype as it rises skyward. He continues with his incredible gift for penning melodies that are instantly singable and always cause you to marvel that no-one else had ever came up with that tune before. Throughout, Franklin is backed by a strong crew of live singers dubbed The Vocals of Life (you’ll recognize some names), as he introduces no-doubt hit songs such as “Hosanna” and “Caught Up”. With the inclusion of marquee names in Gospel such as Donnie McClurkin, Yolanda Adams, Shirley Caesar and Alvin Slaughter, there are perhaps some similarities to that other guest-laden project of Franklin’s, The Nu Nation Project. Recorded live at Houston’s Lakewood Church in 2000, Franklin succeeds in wrapping a set of thirteen new songs in a freshness and a vibrancy that embraces the ‘everyman’ in Gospel, while recognizing his own musical development over the past decade. Not that he ever went away, but Kirk Franklin is back.ĭubbed by many as “the church project”, but officially titled The Rebirth of Kirk Franklin, the project marks Franklin’s return of the sound and feel of the material that first grabbed the attention of the Gospel world back in 1993.īut don’t be mislead into thinking that the music here is a retread of familiar songs or perhaps tunes that have been baked too long in the musical oven. To that place of purity that that little boy lived
