User Album Review
What sets Franklin apart from most Gospel artists is that he always has a social streak in him. "Strong God" is an unblinking stare into the issue of racial hatred. And Franklin is right in asserting that such social prejudices is essentially a spiritual issue that only God can heal. Lead single "Love Theory" tries to prescribe the same diagnosis but it's just not as poignant and bold as "Strong God." Similarly, sophomore single "OK" is as trite as its titular. It certainly isn't the best choice for a single. "Spiritual," likewise, is messy and directionless. Much better is album's closer "Wynter's Promise" which is a tearjerker about how there's always hope beyond death.
Though there are some hiccups, this record bears all the imprints of Franklin. It canvasses a plethora of topics from social hatred to idolatry to the Cross. It exposes us to all sub-genres of Gospel music" from old school choir to soul-massaging ballads. In short, this album contains everything we love about Franklin.
