Bono, R. Kelly, Mary J. Blige To "Lean On" Kirk Franklin
Bono
Last year, Kirk Franklin "stomped" his way up the charts with his
hip-hop inspired gospel. For this year's model, Franklin is putting the
finishing touches on a new album, called "The Nu Nation Project," which
is due out in September.
The first single from "Nu Nation" is "Lean On Me," an original song
penned by Franklin -- not a remake of the Bill Withers classic, and for
the track, Franklin has enlisted the assistance of some special guests,
including Bono, R. Kelly and Mary J. Blige.
Proceeds from the single, which will be released in August, have been
ear-marked to benefit churches in the South that have been ravaged by
arson fires over the last year and a half.
