If there was a late ‘90s Christian rock album that should’ve crossed over into the mainstream market, it was the Newsboys’ Love Liberty Disco. The Australia-nurtured group had already earned a solid fan base thanks to a decade’s worth of recording. Yet this song collection was a cut above the rest — building upon the cheeky humor and feisty rock attack of previous releases, the Newsboys achieved something special here. The album boasts a hip electronica-influenced pop sound, elegant melodies, and a warmly inclusive lyric message. Singer Peter Furler’s high-gliding vocal presence is surrounded by shimmering strings, coolly pulsing beats and touches of ‘70s R&B guitar. “Beautiful Sound,” “Say You Need Love,” and “I Would Give Everything” radiate an uplifting, slightly trippy spirit. “Good Stuff” has a touch of funk-rock grit, while “Fall On You” revels in otherworldly ambiance. The substance and style of this album merge into an inviting, transformative whole that has appeal beyond Christian music audiences. Love Liberty Disco deserves wider discovery.
