Kirk Franklin's contemporary gospel offers unlimited praise and worship over infectious beats. The choir leader exhorts us to seek the Holy Ghost over the dramatic positive funk of “Hosanna,” then remakes Earth Wind & Fire's “September” into a soul-affirming disco-funk delight. He adapts the rhythm of Patrice Rushen's boogie gem “Haven't You Heard” for the equally buoyant “Looking for You,” encouraging us to search tirelessly for God's grace.
