Veteran Christian rock outfit
Newsong treated the title of their 18th recording,
Give Yourself Away quite literally by including a cardboard-sleeved bonus “giveaway” disc that was identical (right down to the bonus track) to its jewel-cased sibling (that’s one way to deplete your mountainous promotional stack).
Give Yourself Away also marks the band’s first collaboration with CCM super-producer
Charlie Peacock, as well as the return of vocalist
Russ Lee to the group.
Newsong's mission is as strong as ever, and their penchant for tight, melodic slabs of infectious and uplifting modern rock-infused praise & worship jams proves that the band's longevity has more to do with talent than marketing. ~ James Christopher Monger
