“‘If it wasn’t for Jesus’ is all about reflecting on where I’d be if it wasn’t for these amazing divine encounters with God, and then arriving at gratitude because of the intervention of God,” explains Benjamin William Hastings.

The new album follows the praised self-titled 25-song project from 2022. As a songwriter, Hastings has impacted the worship genre with widely acclaimed songs such as Hillsong UNITED’s RIAA Certified Platinum Single, “So Will I (100 Billion X)” and Brandon Lake’s No. 1 single and RIAA Platinum single, “Gratitude,” among many others.

He has written songs for Brandon Lake, Cory Asbury, Hillsong Worship, Hillson UNITED, Hillsong Y&F, Rend Collective, Mack Brock, and more. To date, his songs have been streamed globally more than 1.2B times. And he has more than 95M solo career streams. The new album will feature 12 new songs along with guest artists Brandon Lake, Aodhan King, and Matt Crocker.

Hastings has toured with Phil Wickham this year and will be on tour this fall with Brandon Lake and headlining three shows in New York City, Nashville, and Los Angeles.

Following the release of his debut solo single “Thank You So Much Jesus” with LANY’s Paul Klein, Aodhán King from Hillsong Young & Free has just unveiled two brand new songs: “Without You” and “Pray You Never Leave.”

Both tracks produced by industry veteran Jason Ingram and Ben Ten, the Australian-born singer/songwriter wrote the songs at two different times in his life, never planning on releasing them together, but God had a different plan:

“I felt as though one song couldn’t exist without the other,” explains Aodhán. “ ‘Without You’ was originally written at a time when I was in the middle of trying to decide whether I should leave Australia and move to the US. The song is simply me asking God to light the way and go before me because there was no way I could do it without Him.

Years later I find myself living in America writing with Jason Ingram, a hero and a songwriter I’ve looked up to for many years. In that moment I was completely aware that none of this would have been possible without the kindness of God, by my side, orchestrating every detail. That day we wrote ‘Pray You Never Leave’.”

While Aodhán is currently embarking on his solo career, he is no stranger to the music industry. He has a longstanding history of success from his being in the two-time GRAMMY-nominated band Hillsong Young & Free, garnering over 1.2 billion streams in North America, multiple #1 singles, and performances at over 225 live events worldwide.

“My hope is that as you listen to these songs you would be encouraged to invite Jesus into your every moment, there’s no reason to go through life alone,” says Aodhán. “He longs to be the light unto your path and your friend through every season.”
