Music reviews of Hero
Music Review: No Words To Describe
Rating: 5 Stars
I do realize this project has been out for a few years and he has another recent project out as I write this review. But I have neva honestly been a huge fan of Kirk Franklin. I have not been able to make the connection. I was judging and I have grown from that ova the years. Well I have been so wrong about him. I brought the cd to hear "It Couldve Been Me" with my darling J Moss! Man this CD is so realistic and the meaning and messages of the songs, each one, I cant put into words how much they open up my eyes and views. KIRK YOUR ARE PHENOMENAL. I THANK GOD FOR YOUR STRUGGLES AND MINE AND WHATEVER STRONGHOLDS U HAVE MADE PUBLICLY, BELIEVE ME HAS HELPED SO MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING ME!!! ITS FAR TIME OUT TO BE SWEEPING MESS UNDER THE RUG! IF JESUS KNEW WE WOULD BE A WORLD OF PERFECT PEOPLE, THEN HE WOULD HAVE NOT HAD TO DIE ON THE CROSS FOR US AND SHED HIS BLOOD. I HAVE A BRAND NEW RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FOR KIRK.MAN U ARE SO AWESOME AN GIFTED IN WHAT YOU DO. I KNOW U HAVE MILLIONS OF FANS. I HOPE U HAVE ROOM FOR ONE MORE. THANKS SO MUCH. GOD BLESS! CELESTIAL

Title: HERO
Street Release Date: 10/04/2005
Genre: GOSPEL
If you know anything about Kirk Franklin, you'll know he's not one to sit still. With an emphasis on his early career classic Gospel leanings, Franklin rang the bell with his magnificent Rebirth of Kirk Franklin (2002), a release widely awarded and one that helped make him the best-selling gospel artist of all time. But Franklin has once again shifted his musical landscape. Hero is a lengthy and revealing masterpiece unparalleled in Christian music. The Dallas native has crafted his own musical tapestry masterfully combining elements of 70s era soul, classic Gospel, and contemporary urban hip-hop. Hero is full of admissions of struggle and challenges but Franklin always weaves a message of hope and encouragement to take the focus off the negative. You want in-your-face confession? Try not to be moved while listening to Franklin laying sins down on the table like cards in "Let It Go" or Franklin teaming with Marvin Winans in the soul-shaking, roof-raising "Brokenhearted." The title track - featuring Dorinda Clark-Cole - along with "Imagine Me" are classic examples of how Franklin balances the hard realities of real life against the hard faith about which he so readily sings.
One is hard pressed to not remember the Love Unlimited Orchestra when hearing "Looking for You" and the 70s references are reinforced with Stevie Wonder's guest appearance on "Why." The latter track is classic Franklin as he challenges every Christian to stop worrying about building churches and start building people. It also includes a delightful harmonica touch at the end from the great Stevie Wonder. At 20 songs and more than an hour, Hero might seem overwhelming. But there is rarely a dull moment here and you'll be better for the time well spent. --Michael Lyttle
