Kirk Franklin is back! The Rebirth.is an excellent showcase of his skills that we have been missing lately. I recommend everyone to get this CD, I honestly think its his best work yet!! He incorporates very meaningful songs, with amazing beats and sounds, it just sounds phenomenal! It is highly recommended by me!! So everyone GO OUT AND GET IT !!! the Re birth of Kirk Franklin isan exhilarating and much anticipated album featuring 14 new Franklin-penned songs. This CD just blew me away! It was everything I was looking for and more. I think that it is by far the best work that Kirk has done since his albums with the family! I loved every minute of this album and I hope that Kirk keeps up the good work!!! Kirk has done it again, and it is quite evident that he has grown in his ability to articulate the message of the gospel that there is hope no matter the circumstance. I have three words for Kirks new CD, " OFF THE HOOK". On Rebirth, Franklin's colors have never shown brighter. Franklin's songwriting prowess also surfaces in quieter numbers like "Don't Cry" and "Always." Throughout his meteoric career, Franklin has skillfully combined soul, gospel, hip-hop, and pop into a multicolored tapestry. Ably backed by a tight band and the powerhouse Vocals of Life choir, Franklin takes no prisoners on the blistering "Hosana," "Caught Up," and the Rasta-flavored "He Reigns," featuring Papa San. Such a diverse group of guests mirrors the accessibility of Franklin's music on this release. Jakes, Yolanda Adams, and Jaci Velasquez. This mostly live release includes a handful of cameo appearances by the likes of Bishop T.D. From the deeply personal opening, "Intro," to the ending, "Outro (the Blood)," Franklin takes us on a journey of faith littered with doubt, struggles, and a sincerity that's hard to resist.



release on GospoCentric Records and Arista Records occurred on February 19, 2002. The Rebirth of Kirk Franklin is the seventh album released by Kirk Franklin.
