And yeah, it was weird to see someone else singing Peter&#8217;s lines.But it&#8217;s time to move on.<!--more-->The Newsboys are back in June with their 15th studio album, aptl titled <em>Born Again<\/em>. The album&#8217;s first two radio singles, &#8220;I&#8217;ll Be&#8221; and &#8220;Born Again,&#8221; are hitting radio as we speak.In all fairness, Michael Tait is a fine vocalist in his own right. Sure, he&#8217;s not Peter, but that&#8217;s OK. He&#8217;s Michael, and he does Michael very well. And maybe that&#8217;s the point. <strong>So what do you think of the new song? Has the Newsboys&#8217; sound changed, and if so, are you happy with the new direction, what a press release calls &#8220;story-led tunes with melodies coupled with more distinguishable piano and guitar performances.&#8221; <\/strong><strong>RELATED POSTS:<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2009\/03\/is-peter-furler-leaving-the-ne.html\" target=\"_blank\">Is Peter Furler Leaving The Newsboys?
