Hillsong Young & Free Releases New Live EP 'Out Here On A Friday Where It Began'
Today, GRAMMY-nominated youth collective, Hillsong Young & Free, drops their latest musical project with the release of their live digital EP, 'Out Here On A Friday Where It Began.' The seven-track EP is available today.
Written over the course of just one week, Young & Free enlisted collaboration from several of their very own youth ministry members to help produce the compilation. “We couldn’t wait to introduce the new songs to our youth, so we recorded them LIVE on a Friday night barely three weeks later,†says Young & Free’s Laura Toggs.
Adds Toggs, “‘Out Here On A Friday Where It Began’ is our youth gathered together and declaring the name of Jesus and making a statement that the church is alive and we’re here.â€
The EP releases on the heels of Young & Free’s newest single “Phenomena (DA DA).†Out alongside an accompanying lyric visual and live performance video, the high-energy track is already resonating with fans globally since its July 16 debut. The song has already amassed 600,000+ global streams and quickly approaching a half million YouTube views.
