The Fight of My Life

Kirk Franklin is the top-selling Urban Gospel act of all time, and for good reason. He continually reinvents himself and has an uncanny ability to speak directly to the hearts of his listeners, who are as diverse as the musical genres that he seamlessly incorporates into his music ministry. Kirk’s latest release, The Fight of My Life, is possibly his most compelling body of work to date.

Song by song, Kirk delves into the internal struggles that we face as believers, and more universally, as people.  "Little Boy" addresses the plight of our youth in today’s materialistic and harsh society.  "I Like Me" is an engaging chant of affirmation, also directed toward our youth. The song boldly encourages young people to love themselves, perceived flaws and all.  "Help Me Believe" is a beautiful ballad that demonstrates the need for one’s faith to be renewed, usually in the midst of life’s most turbulent storms.

No Kirk Franklin release would be complete without his signature praise-party starters, and this album is no exception. Serving up a double dose, "Declaration (This Is It!)" samples the famed Kenny Loggins’ classic “This Is It”, and brilliantly brings the familiar into modern musicality, and "Jesus" picks up where Franklin’s last smash “Looking for You” left off, and propels the listener into another praise chant.

The Fight of My Life is a clarion call for all those who are disturbed about the social ills that plague our planet, and a beacon of light for those who earnestly yearn for another way.
