Kirk Franklin Set To Produce Tyler Perry’s ‘The Gospel of Christmas’ Soundtrack

Tyler Perry is gearing up to premiere his next Netflix film, The Gospel of Christmas, on November 11. To bring its accompanying music to life, Perry has tapped 19-time Grammy winner Kirk Franklin to produce its original soundtrack. “Music has always had a way of telling the parts of a story that words sometimes can’t. What I love about this soundtrack is that it’s not just music that accompanies a film, Franklin says “It’s music that carries the heart of the story. There’s joy, there’s pain, there’s hope, and there’s faith. All the things that make us human. My prayer is that people connect with these songs long after the credits roll.” The 11-track album features gospel greats like Shirley Caesar, Ann Nesby, Karen Clark-Sheard, and Smokie Norful, as well as Chanté Moore, Fantasia, and Tank singing lead on songs with a robust choir. Classic holiday songs like “Mary Did You Know?” and “Do You Hear What I Hear?” will also appear on the soundtrack.
