“…I’m doing all the things I do because I truly believe that there’s hope…I go where I go because all over this planet there are people who need to know that God is love and that Jesus is His Son. If I can break people’s hearts and touch them with music and laughter and love so that they’ll know that, ‘Yeah, there is a better way,’ then I’ve accomplished what I’m here for…” – Excerpts from Kirk Franklin’s autobiography: “Church Boy, My Music & My life.”
On Friday, Nov. 13, Franklin will release his 11th album – his first in almost five years – entitled “Losing My Religion.” The new project is produced by Franklin and Shaun Martin on Franklin’s label, Fo Yo Soul Recordings, which is in partnership with RCA. The title of the 13-track contemporary gospel album has already began to create a buzz in gospel music and church circles that have gotten an early listen to Franklin’s new music. However, the question that’s seems to be on the minds of many fans is: What does the title of the album, which is also the name of the recording’s first song, really mean?
Franklin responds.
“Religion gives people a list of things to do, to be and to try to accomplish to save one’s self, instead of realizing that it’s Christ who saves us,” Franklin explained. “What religion has done is thrown so many rules, so many laws, and so many other things at people that people are drowning and have become frustrated. My job on ‘Losing My Religion’ is to show that God wants you to receive salvation, and religion doesn’t have anything to do with it.”
