Love Riot is the highly anticipated new studio recording from the multiple GRAMMY nominated and Dove Award winning Christian pop rock band Newsboys. Helping define the sound of Christian music for more than two decades, Newsboys’ high-energy live performances and string of mega-hit singles, including “We Believe,” “God’s Not Dead” and “Born Again,” continue to make the band one of the genre’s most iconic artists. With the same energy as the group's previous releases, this newest album issues a call to reach the world with love. Newsboys frontman Michael Tait shares, “When I speak from stage, I often talk about love. Darkness has been so prevalent in our culture. Let’s have a love riot—it’s time.” Drummer Duncan Phillips adds, “It doesn’t work to get out there and point a finger. We want to impact the world with a straight and true message, and deliver it with all-encompassing love.”
"Crazy" examines Jesus' teachings and lifestyle and inspires believers to live their lives radically for Him. With adrenaline-pumping energy, it expresses an intent to boldly walk in Jesus' footsteps and declares, "Crazy, I don’t care if the whole world calls me crazy. I don’t care if it looks like I’ve lost my mind. I’m alive to live a reckless, righteous, foolish life. Maybe I was born to be crazy." "You Hold It All (Every Mountain)" recognizes the majesty and sovereignty of God. From the splendor of His creation to our daily struggles, it points to Jesus as Lord over everything and praises, "You hold it all (Every mountain, every valley). You hold it all (Every teardrop, every heartbeat). In my weakness, You’re my victory. In my sickness, You surround me. I believe that You hold it all." Also included is a beautiful new arrangement of Bethel Music's powerful anthem, "No Longer Slaves," which rejoices in the new identity we have as children of God.
All of the new songs on Love Riot offer great opportunities for both musical specials and congregational worship. Be sure to check out the entire album, now available on iTunes!
