Hillsong United will release its sixth full-length studio album, Wonder, on June 9. Wonder follows their recent album Empires, which landed in the Top 5 on Billboard‘s Top 200, pushed by their hit single, “Touch The Sky.”
With the announcement of Wonder comes two instant grats on iTunes and Spotify for songs “Wonder” and “Splinters and Stones.”
“Have we lost the Wonder?” asked Joel Houston, front man for the Australia-born band. “The hope, the imagination to dream, to believe, the tenderness to listen and lead first with mercy, the grace to empathize, the courage to trust, the fearlessness to love without pretense or condition. To see beyond the facts without dismissing them. To respond beyond the fear without reciprocating it. To sing beyond the noise, without adding to it. This is the challenge, and this is what worship— if worship can be summed up as an expression of art and music and story— is ultimately designed to do. To elevate the conversation, re-awaken the soul to something other, and lift our eyes to the wonder of a superlative truth.”
