"What a way to start my new position at Inpop!" exclaims Andrew Patton, General Manager, Inpop Records. "I'm so excited for the band and can't wait for the rest of the world to hear the record that I'm hearing. The song 'Born Again' is a solid indication of the amazing, fresh music from newsboys."

This No. 1 hit song, which is also climbing up the AC charts, is popular with not only the fans but is a huge hit with radio stations as well. Here are just a few comments that have come in from promoters:

“The new newsboys song 'Born Again' with new lead singer Michael Tait has completely been embraced by our listeners here in eastern Iowa. After so many years of breaking new musical ground, it was hard to imagine that they could do it again; but with this song, newsboys have proven that anyone can truly be 'Born Again.'" - Gator J. Gaynor, MD, KXGM/Cedar Rapids

“The BIG band is back! BIG message. BIG vocals. BIG production. BIG decision. 'Born Again' claims the top spot! Way to go guys!" - Noonie Fugler, PD, KLFF/San Luis Obispo

"'Born Again' takes newsboys to the next level and our listeners are loving it!" - Johnathan Michaels, MD, WJLZ/Va. Beach-Norfolk, VA

Completing production of Born Again between their jam-packed travel schedule in the U.S., Canada and Australia, the foursome - Michael Tait, Jeff Frankenstein, Duncan Phillips and Jody Davis - is embarking on a sure-to-be momentous 2010 and beyond with Born Again. The CD is produced by The Write Brothers and includes songs penned by newsboys, The Write Brothers, and Steve Taylor.

"Born Again is more than just another title of a newsboys record -it is every believers' profession of their faith in God our Maker," proclaims Michael Tait. "Not very often do artists get to connect with their listeners on such a wide-scaled demographic as this song has thus far. The newsboys are incredibly passionate about creating music for the masses, it's a brand new day for us and we are armed and ready. 'Born Again' says it all; it's round 2 for the Boys; all aboard!"

ABOUT newsboys:
This GRAMMY®-nominated and Dove Award-winning band has achieved what few artists have in their lifetime. They have sold over 6.5 million units, garnered five Gold albums and 21 #1 hits, and are renown for their heart-pumping live shows. Last year, when longtime members Jody Davis (guitar), keyboardist Jeff Frankenstein and drummer Duncan Phillips welcomed the vocal strengths, writing talents and boundless energy of former dc Talk member Michael Tait to the band, it was clearly a good reason for newsboys to feel born again and share brand new songs with fans old and new. Born Again is newsboys' 15th studio project.
