Hillsong To Record Second Intimate 'Hillsong Chapel' Album
Australian worship movement Hillsong will shortly record the second album in their Hillsong Chapel series. Designed as intimate arrangements of popular Hillsong worship songs stripped down for use in smaller settings, the first album was titled 'Yahweh' and released in 2010.
"About two years ago we recorded our first Hillsong LIVE Chapel Album: Yawheh. It captured our worship team leading in a smaller setting... our Hillsong Chapel. It has been a useful resource for our own teams and hopefully it has been helpful for many others", said Hillsong worship leader Ben Fielding.
"The goal of the first Chapel project was to think creatively and appropriately for our smaller services and contexts. The songs we recorded sounded more intimate, more raw, more acoustic... appropriate for such services."
"Now, at the beginning of 2012, we are just days away from recording the second Chapel project. Our heart remains the same: to help people worship and connect with God. Though this year, we are trying something a little different", continues Ben Fielding.
"This new Hillsong Chapel project will still be reverent and intimate, we've 'scaled back' some of our favourite songs and some new ones, and we are getting a little more creative with our instruments and sounds... and I'm excited. The point is, while there won't be a 15-piece band on the stage; though it's amazing what can be done with a few willing hearts, some able musicians and a few new instruments."
