Aodhán King Surprises Fans With Release Of Debut Album ‘Beyond Us’

Singer/songwriter and worship leader Aodhán King made a surprise drop today, unveiling his first solo full-length album titled Beyond Us. The project features 13 captivating tracks, including his latest singles, “Thank You So Much Jesus,” “WITHOUT YOU,” and “PRAY YOU NEVER LEAVE.” Beyond Us, distributed through Anotherland Records and Capitol Christian Music Group, features guest artists, including Paul Klein of LANY, Grammy award-winner Lauren Daigle, English singer/songwriter Griff, and Camp Hideout’s Jenna Raine.

In Beyond Us, King draws on his own experience of navigating life’s unpredictability. He reflects on the years spent learning, unlearning, making mistakes, and facing countless moments of indecision. The album was born out of King’s personal challenges, including moving countries alone in the middle of a pandemic, the disintegration of his church community, and the unraveling of all that he once considered certain. Through these experiences, King came to a deeper understanding of faith, realizing the vast difference between his own human logic and the boundless wisdom of God.

“So much of life feels out of our control,” King shares. “There’s an infinite gap between our logic and that of God, but through creating this album, I’ve discovered the power of abdication from my own will and the freedom that comes from leaning into His boundless wisdom and love that surpasses all understanding. It’s way over our heads, beyond us in every way, yet in reach should we choose to trust Him.”

A pivotal moment for King occurred in early 2022 while visiting Dublin, Ireland, where his father encouraged him to explore the Vale of Avoca. The tranquil confluence of two rivers inspired King to reflect on his own faith journey. The meeting of the waters became a metaphor for what it means to know God—a collision, purification, and redirection.

This transformative experience led King to pivot from a previous project and begin work on Beyond Us. Through his music, King hopes to create a sacred space where people can come together in worship, with their questions, doubts, and affections for Jesus.

“God’s extravagant love and kindness aren’t just beyond me, they’re beyond all of us,” King explains. “This album is my attempt to unite us under a God who is greater than anything we could ever imagine and to invite everyone into a space of worship, surrender, and community.”

Beyond Us brings together a diverse range of voices and perspectives, with King co-writing and producing with some of his closest friends including Ben Tan, Jason Ingram among many others.

While Beyond Us is Aodhán’s first album as a solo artist, he has found success in the music industry by 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.

[Download] Adoration – Dreamers

Following the release of their new live single “Make A Move”, Dreamers releases their new song “Adoration” (DREAM Worship).  The song is available on all digital retail and streaming service providers.  The song was co-written by Danielle Ng, Jedd See and Lara Fowles and produced by Lawrence Davies and Mark Griffiths.

“Adoration, a song of exaltation, was written out of a desire to learn how to delight in God’s presence and become more like Him. It’s a declaration of commitment to God that extends beyond a moment in worship, but rather, for all our lives. 

We were compelled to create a song that would facilitate worship that is pleasing and pure to God, bringing Him the worship He deserves, not for what He can do but for who He is as our King. We pray as people sing the simple prayer of “help me to seek You”, with the Holy Spirit as their guide, they will find a deeper sense of delight and awe in God’s presence.” – Dreamers

Both, “Adoration” and “Make A Move” are a part of an upcoming multi-single release titled The Reason which is set to release on November 1st.

Crowder Re-Imagines “Somebody Prayed” Featuring Dylan Scott

GRAMMY-nominated multi-instrumentalist Crowder releases a new version of his inspirational single “Somebody Prayed” from his fifth No. 1 album ‘The EXILE’ (5.31).

The track is currently top 15 at Christian radio and continues to climb daily. Available now via sixstepsrecords/Capitol CMG, this new version takes a turn into the country lane with the help of friend and fellow artist Dylan Scott. Crowder and Scott’s vocals blend seamlessly, combining uplifting melodies and heartfelt lyrics that highlight the theme of the importance and efficacy of prayer.

“I met Dylan Scott randomly while we were both out on tour. We hit it off, finding so many shared similarities in our love of music and Jesus,” says Crowder. “His voice is so, so good. When he sings, I think, ‘yeah, that’s what I meant!’ I’m so happy and honored he’s on this track.”

Crowder recently earned his fifth Dove Award, winning in the Rock/Contemporary Recorded Song category for his chart-topping single, “Grave Robber.” Co-written with Ben Glover and Jeff Sojka, this powerful anthem conveys the uplifting message that no challenge is too great for God to overcome.

This genre-defying 12-track collection, produced by the GRAMMY Award-winning duo Glover and Sojka, seamlessly combines rock and traditional bluegrass with modern urban beats.

[Music] Rearview – TobyMac Ft. Juan Winans

Seven-time GRAMMY-winner TobyMac has debuted a new song. “Rearview” featuring Juan Winans is now available to download/stream. This song is the second release from an upcoming studio project (release date TBD).

For a lot of us, our past can cast a long shadow. Regret can consume us. My new song “Rearview” featuring Juan Winans is about letting go of a past that can leave us frozen from moving forward. 1 Peter says, “cast all your anxiety on God and He will care for you”.

Heavy days can lead to heavy nights but heavy love can make our burdens light. As a man who has a tendency toward regret, this is what I fight to stand on….God is the King of today AND the King of our rearview. -TobyMac
