United, the history-making full-length recording from Christian music supergroup Newsboys, is now available. The FairTrade Services watershed release celebrates the return of former members Peter Furler and Phil Joel alongside Newsboys’ Michael Tait, Duncan Phillips, Jeff Frankenstein and Jody Davis. Bridging the iconic band’s past and present, United is a signature collection of compelling praise & worship moments and powerful pop tracks.
The 10-song set was produced by Furler and Geoff Duncan and features four selections co-penned by Furler. Highlighted by the hit debut single “Greatness Of Our God,” a triumphant worship celebration showcasing Furler and Tait on lead vocals, the project also includes “Love One Another,” with guest vocals from former dcTalk member Kevin Max; pulsing praise anthem “Only The Son (Yeshua)”; “Symphony,” a call to complete surrender; and the worshipful “Set Me Ablaze,” which was originally recorded by Bethel Music and written by Mia Fieldes, Bryan & Katie Torwalt and Jacob Sooter.
In addition, the digital deluxe edition of United is now available, featuring Newsboys’ 2017 anthem “The Cross Has The Final Word” and “Rejoice,” a new selection penned by Furler and Steve Taylor. The United deluxe edition also includes remixes of “Greatness Of Our God” and “Only The Son (Yeshua),” as well as “United: The Story Behind The Album,” an exclusive interview with Furler and Tait.
