Grammy winner Kirk Franklin has entered into a new partnership with Uptown Records. It's the kind of deal that moves quietly through the record business before it ever reaches a stage, and the kind Nashville's own trade press exists to catch first. A voice with Franklin's résumé choosing a new label home is the sort of business-side news this town treats as seriously as any chart position.

With reporting from MusicRow.
