Kirk Franklin is a true original. Hot on the heels of a second run of The Hopeville Tour, the most successful gospel tour of all time, multi-platinum selling gospel artist Kirk Franklin is back with perhaps the most masterful, inspired offering of his career, aptly titled Hero.

Already hailed as the most anticipated gospel release for 2005, Hero is a bold and courageous display of an artistic genius at his best. Kirk delicately experiments with samples of nostalgic R&B classics blended with his famous signature styles in “Keep Your Head,” and “Lookin For You.” Core gospel fans will be riveted by “Brokenhearted,” “The Appeal,” “First Love,” among others.

The most impressive feat resides in Kirk Franklin’s core music skill – his ability to weave powerful and profound lyrics with cutting edge musical styles evidenced in tracks “Hero,” “Imagine Me,” “Without You,” “Shout,” and “Why.” Special guests include Yolanda Adams, Sheila E, TobyMac, Sonny (P.O.D.) and more! Everyone should have a Hero, and Kirk Franklin offers his own.
