Kirk Franklin released his latest studio album, Father’s Day, in 2023. The album was his thirteenth studio album, and the first solo one since 2019's LONG LIVE LOVE.

The singer recently talked about his career and the album in an exclusive interview with the Grammy that was published on January 28, 2025:

"Well, I think those are the fundamentals of life, which is that life will always be a duality, that all of our existences have this juxtaposition to them, and that is the trademark of a fruitful life. The complexities always follow us, painting and coloring the narrative of our human nature."

The singer continued:

"If you do not have these dual sunshine and rain, joy and pain moments in life, then I suggest you're not living. It is a signature cosign of a fruitful life that tears and sleepless nights are also connected to victories and smiles. They are both necessary."

The singer later talked about the song

"I think that in the narrative of the song, home had to do more with what our ancestors would talk about, what our mothers and fathers would talk about when they talked about going to be with God, going to see him...."

The singer continued:

"And so that's the premise of the "Welcome Home" song. It is those visions that we have, whether they at times can be imaginative or figurative or even literal for those who believe in these literal spaces and places that we read about in the Holy scripture. We use them, apply them, and find comfort in them, knowing that the world we live in is not the only one that exists."

Kirk Franklin started his musical journey early in his life, becoming the church choir music director at the Mt. Rose Baptist Church at the age of 11. He began his professional career in 1992, playing first with Kirk & The Family, and then with other groups. Franklin started his solo career in 2001. He is best known for the album with Nu Nation, God's Property from Kirk Franklin's Nu Nation.
