Among Christian music’s most recognizable faces and voices for more than two decades, singer/songwriter, author and New Zealand native Phil Joel (of the Newsboys) is set for a highly anticipated return to the solo spotlight with Better Than I Found It. The six-song EP—written, recorded and produced entirely by Joel in his home studio during last year’s quarantine—is now available to download or stream.

The EP kicks off with the catchy, Beatles-esque title cut—a plea to leave our world better than we found it.
