World renowned Christian band Newsboys have released their Worldwide Revival (Deluxe) album today, May 30, 2025, marking an exciting new chapter with Adam Agee stepping in as lead vocalist. The expanded release features four brand-new tracks, including the original songs “Fortress” and “New Name,” as well as powerful renditions of worship favorites “Death Was Arrested” (North Point Worship) and “God of Promises” (Damascus Worship). Fans will also enjoy refreshed versions of “Christ and Christ Crucified” and “How Many Times (oh how You love me),” which was released to DSPs in March, and is currently in the Top 20 at Christian radio. With this release, Newsboys continue to amplify scripture through music, staying true to their message while boldly evolving their sound. Listen to the Worldwide Revival (Deluxe) album here.
“When we started down this road of the Worldwide Revival album, we intended to release the project over time in two parts. After the release of Part One last summer, we continued to write and record songs for the remainder of the project, but God had other plans for us. As we have navigated this new season, we ultimately felt called to close out this chapter of music with a deluxe version of Worldwide Revival that includes both the original songs from Part One but also some new songs that give listeners a glimpse into the future of Newsboys,” says lead singer Adam Agee.
The focus track, “Fortress,” was inspired by a Bible read-through of Psalm 91 Agee was participating in at church. In an interview with The Christian Post, Agee shared a personal reflection on the verse that anchored the song’s message, “I really love the line, ‘I will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.’ That’s where I want to be… under his shelter. Whatever season I’m in, I know that he has me right where he wants me.”
In addition to capturing the emotional depth of the Psalms, “Fortress” embodies the central theme of the album and mirrors the personal, and collective, journey that Agee, Frankenstein, Phillips, and Davis experienced during a season of transition as a band.
“We’re excited to move into what’s next for our band, with just the four of us. We’ve got the live show dialed in, but it’s time to finish up Worldwide Revival, and so completing the project with this deluxe version feels like a nice way to close that chapter,” Duncan Phillips shares.
The release of Worldwide Revival (Deluxe) builds on the momentum of the original album’s lead single, “Heaven on Earth,” which debuted on March 15, 2024. Worldwide Revival has amassed more than 36 million streams and broken into Billboard’s Top 40 charts for both Adult Contemporary and Christian Airplay. The album has made a significant cultural impact across digital platforms, with over 11 million video views and 49,000 short-form video creations using the album’s audio. In addition to their musical achievements, Newsboys have continued to engage in meaningful conversations around faith, purpose, and culture with appearances on top podcasts including Unlocked With Savannah Chrisley, The Sean McDowell Show, and That Sounds Fun With Annie F. Downs.
With Worldwide Revival (Deluxe), Newsboys reaffirm their mission to create music that inspires, uplifts, and directs hearts toward Jesus. That same message will carry onstage as the Worldwide Revival Nights Tour heads west to Scottsdale, Arizona on June 22.
