»» NEWSBOYS / Take Me To Your Leader
PRODUCER(S) Steve Taylor, Peter Furler
Star Song 0075
Contemporary Christian
Originally reviewed for week ending 3/2/96

Christian rockers the Newsboys' sixth outing is their most ambitious to date and the one with the most promise for crossover appeal. Once again, Steve Taylor returns as producer, and he and founding member Peter Furler steer this talented outfit toward an organic sound that works well with this collection of tunes. Mostly written by Taylor, Furler, and bassist Phil Urry, the first-rate material ranges from the melodic "Let It Go" to the lyrically pointed "Cup Of Tea." Other highlights include the title tune, "Reality," "It's All Who You Know," and "Breathe." An album that shows why this innovative band continues to gain an enthusiastic following. ««
