newsboys “Born Again” *Official Music Video* from newsboys on Vimeo.

OK, folks, it’s been months and months since Peter Furler left the helm of the Newsboys and former dcTalk member Michael Tait took over as frontman.Sure, it was a shock, especially for those of you who had tickets to Newsboys concerts and found yourself watching Tait on the mic. And yeah, it was weird to see someone else singing Peter’s lines.But it’s time to move on.The Newsboys are back in June with their 15th studio album, aptl titled Born Again. The album’s first two radio singles, “I’ll Be” and “Born Again,” are hitting radio as we speak.In all fairness, Michael Tait is a fine vocalist in his own right. Sure, he’s not Peter, but that’s OK. He’s Michael, and he does Michael very well. And maybe that’s the point. So what do you think of the new song? Has the Newsboys’ sound changed, and if so, are you happy with the new direction, what a press release calls “story-led tunes with melodies coupled with more distinguishable piano and guitar performances.” RELATED POSTS:Is Peter Furler Leaving The Newsboys?
