Kirk Franklin preps new album, launches new website

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 currently in the studio working on a brand new album, his first since 2002's Platinum selling The Rebirth of Kirk Franklin, which spawned a 2003 Song Of The Year Stellar Award for "Hosanna".  His first studio album since 1998's The Nu Nation Project, the new release is due in stores late this summer and will be the first release on Franklin's new Fo Yo Soul Entertainment label, in association with the newly formed Zomba Gospel Group.   

In preparation for what will undoubtedly be a career-defining work, Franklin has launched a brand new website at www.KirkFranklin.us where he will be unveiling special sneak peeks of the making of the new album in the coming weeks and months leading up to the late-summer release.  Also on deck is "The Takeover Team", Franklin's first ever concentrated street team initiative which will be being recruiting in mid-May.
