Today, SEU Worship releases their new single, “Familiar Song,” which is centered around the idea that the word of God is hidden in the hearts of every person. Along with the new song available today here, the live video (below) featuring the worshippers of SEU Worship also premiered. SEU Worship is a combination of students and staff from Southeastern University creating the sound and songs for the worship environment on the campus.
“In addition to the Bible teaching us that we have the word of God hidden in our heart, it also teaches that the evidence of God’s glory and activity is on display in creation,” shares SEU Worship’s Dan Rivera. “This single is about the metaphorical melody that makes up the background music of our lives. That song sounds like the music of heaven where the angels praise and worship without ceasing. It’s a song that says Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty and you can hear it reverberate throughout history if you tune your ear to hear it.”
Leading the next generation of worshippers, SEU Worship has collaborated with writers from across the country to create their upcoming album set to release this fall. This project follows their acoustic album Walk With You, which was released earlier this year. Stay tuned for more information on the upcoming new album.

Provident Label Group/Essential Worship’s SEU Worship releases the second installment of their mixtape projects, Clouds Are Clearing: Mixtape 1B today. Also last week the group debuted the music video for the song “Pieces ft. KB” from Mixtape 1A, that released in November 2020. The mixtape collection follows the group’s label debut, A Thousand Generations.
Typically releasing live albums, SEU Worship still delivers their signature pop music infused worship sound with the mixtape projects. “Taking the live element out of the equation never felt unnatural,” shares SEU Worship’s Dan Rivera. “It was almost like these songs knew they belonged on a project like this, and we just needed to wise up to it. It helped that we started this process of planning and making right before COVID-19 became a global pandemic. We were well-suited to deal with the fact that we would not be able to record a live record in 2020.”
Both mixtape albums feature special guests artists such as Hollyn and Alexander Pappas of Hillsong Young & Free on today’s release and KB, Elle Limebear and Marty from Social Club Misfits on Mixtape 1A. Collaboration with others is a staple of SEU Worship as their team is a combination of students, staff and faculty from Southeastern University in Lakeland, FL coming together to worship and seek the Spirit of God in a creative environment.
“Right now worship music ought to feel like the most innovative and inclusive space for creativity,” explains Rivera about SEU Worship’s creative process. “We should borrow influences, sounds, and ideas from every genre and culture we can as we collaborate. If God’s image and nature is hidden in the created order, let’s utilize all the parts in it as we create music.”
Provident Label Group/Essential Worship’s SEU Worship will release the second installment of their mixtape project – Clouds Are Clearing: Mixtape 1B on February 19th.

SEU is confident in bringing the sounds of pop music into their worship services, knowing that simultaneously they are bringing worship into the pop world. It is the mixing of tradition with the future with pop elements that are highlighted on the mixtape projects that makes them unique.
“Our mixtape releases are basically the creative overflow from our regular rhythm of writing and creative,” shares SEU Worship’s Dan Rivera. “We set aside two to three a times a year to collaborate with producers and writers as we work on our records. After the past two years of releases, we looked back at our folder of unused songs and were surprised by the upbeat collection of songs we had in there. An idea started to surface — what if we released a big mixtape with all of our unfinished songs that didn’t find a home? And it didn’t stop there. What if we asked some of our friends to help us finish them or feature on these songs? That’s how Clouds are Clearing came to be. It was like raw songwriting and music making. It’s been a very special experience.”
Some of those special friends included on the two albums include KB, Elle Limebear, Hollyn, Marty from Social Club Misfits and Alexander Pappas of Hillsong Young & Free. And due to the pandemic, they were able to record the collabs remotely since they weren’t able to do a live album. Like everyone, last year’s beginning of the pandemic caused a shift in how they approached things and being that they are a college-based group, they had to get creative.
“The pandemic has really grown our family dynamic as a community in Lakeland,” explains Rivera. “When the touring slowed down, the tide of relationship and teamwork started rising in our group of students and pastors. The biggest change for our on campus worship services is that we have to limit capacity and offer more worship opportunities. We’ve taken advantage of the added services by experimenting with new songs, and making space for newcomers to join the team. As far as songwriting and production goes, it definitely has cause us to get innovative with how we collab with others.”
