Multi-award-winning Gospel music veteran Kirk Franklin is back with new music, ‘Thank You For Everything’, featuring Grammy Award-winning Gospel singer and The Clark Sisters member Karen Clark Sheard.
Gratitude runs right through the song, with Kirk keeping the message simple and focused on thanking God.
The song opens with an interlude before Kirk comes in saying, “I just wanna say,” with the backing vocals responding, “Thank you, thank you.” That back and forth between Kirk speaking and the singers responding becomes a big part of the sound and carries the song forward naturally.
Then Karen Clark Sheard comes in and the energy lifts straight away. Her entrance is electrifying, bringing that unmistakable vocal strength she is known for and adding even more life to the song.
One of the highlights is how Kirk allows Karen to carry the song from that point right through to the end. He almost steps back and simply watches and reacts as she takes over, and that makes the moment even stronger. You can see his appreciation as she delivers with the kind of excellence and vocal power she has become known for.
