Kym Franklin - Other Singer - Orland Park, Illinois Event Location: Crystal Lake, IL Event Type: Easter Sunday Service 23rd April 2017

Kym is the real deal. Beautiful talent, total pro. We can't say enough about Kym. She is simply wonderful. What a voice. Just as or more importantly, Kym is a warm and generous person -- so easy to work with. And she's a professional, so she also knows how to take care of business, has a network of musicians in her hip pocket so she can pull together what's needed. She heard our need and vision and hit it out of the park for us.

Kym Franklin - Other Singer - Orland Park, Illinois Event Location: Bolingbrook, IL Event Type: Concert 8th August 2008

“Kym Franklin & The Cleft Way Spiritual Soul Goddess True soul music has the reputation for delivering simple human truths with passion, honesty and vibrant rhythms. It is part of soul music’s iconic history and its source of continually winning fans with each new generation. In this ‘Spiritual Soul Goddess’ pays the tradition of soul music the utmost respect. Kym Franklin elegantly demonstrates that powerful vocals needn’t be solely loud – her vocal power resonates in the nuances of her emotional delivery as well as an extensive vocal range. She brings her considerable experience as a powerful and versatile vocalist having mastered her own style of singing - eclectic soul. Kym lays it all on the table with an unflinching openness. This is soul from a different era. ” Alessandro Di Savoia (Aardvark Records London)

“Firework of Emotions An emotional evening, a gospel concert filled with infectious melodies, testimonials of faith and outstanding solo. Kym Franklin got thunderous applause and standing ovations. Again the great Gospelsinger Kym Franklin from Chicago/USA would be engaged as Special Guest. The first half of the concert was characterized by the european style. In the second half Kym Franklin gave an outstanding performance of real american gospel - with the 45-headed masschoir she completely gripped the audience. Kym Franklin, the black lady with incredible strong voice not only impressed by her engagement and power – her performance on stage and her powerful songs were testimonials of faith from deep within. Drops of sweat and tears of emotions rolled over her cheeks. On the song «Amen» and «Oh happy day» she invited the audience to sing with her and got endless applause and standing ovations. ” Thunner Tagblatt (Swiss Newspaper Article - German to English translation)
