“I Smile”
Kirk Franklin
From the forthcoming Verity Gospel Music Group CD
Hello Fear (available March 22, 2011)

On his latest hit single, “I Smile,” Kirk Franklin smiles in the face of “recession, depression and unemployment” because it’s not the storm but your response to the storm that makes all the difference. Plus, God has your back…”and you look so much better when you smile.”
Propelled by the background vocalists’ buoyant, staccato reading, the friendly, head-bobbing tempo bounces along like a puppy romping through his first spring morning. The message sounds straight out of Franklin’s bestselling book, The Blueprint, about how to survive the dark times and come out in the light.
