Former newsboys Furler to release CD

Peter Furler, the for­mer front­man of news­boys, is back mak­ing music.

Furler left the mul­ti-Dove Award win­ning band in 2009, appar­ent­ly sold much of his belong­ings — even shares in Inpop Records that he co-found­ed — and moved from his native Aus­tralia to the Flori­da Gulf Coast to surf, cre­ate art and play music for sim­ple enjoy­ment.

He was­n’t going to release any of the music he cre­at­ed dur­ing his reflec­tion, but it turned into some of the most joy­ful and uplift­ing music of his long career. And the result is “on fire” set to release in June 21.

Furler returned to Aus­tralia in April and per­formed at East­er­fest, per­form­ing “Reach” from his new CD in front of 20,000 fans. “Reach” is the first sin­gle from “on fire” and rep­re­sents Furler’s per­son­al rela­tion­ship with God.

We all need to be remind­ed that God is per­son­al,” he said. “He cares for us indi­vid­u­al­ly, where we are.”
