Hillsong Worship, one of the most established church-based praise and worship collectives, has a catalogue packed with live albums—one for nearly every year since 1992—and those recordings capture congregations fervently singing along.
The album, Awake was made differently: Hillsong’s leaders brought their songs into the studio. “The sound of Hillsong Worship is the sound of the church, primarily,” explains Brooke Ligertwood, who leads the group and co-produced the album. “You put on a record and you can hear our church singing. Before we entered this process, we had to ask ourselves some questions: What's the sound of our community when you take it out of that live context?” Many of the arrangements build towards anthemic pop-rock catharsis, progressing from hushed single-voice intros to billowing guitars, keyboards and choral harmonies and churning tom-tom patterns, all treated with reverb and ambient effects that give the tracks an immersive quality. Here Ligertwood goes through each of the album’s 12 tracks.
I Will Praise You
“That's a devotional song which also touches on the theme of the cross, which is really great and really simple. There’s an accessible declaration in the chorus that, I think, both individuals and churches can connect to.”
