HILLSONG UNITED’S MATT CROCKER CELEBRATES TODAY’S RELEASE OF MUCH-ANTICIPATED DEBUT ALBUM interlude
The highly-anticipated interlude album has already generated significant cumulative streams of its first three singles “hallelujah,” “love me as i am” and “JESUS,” now surpassing 1.6 million digitalstreams to datesince releasing over the last two months.
Crocker, the longstanding member and vocalist of Hillsong UNITED and Hillsong Worship teamed up with several of his United family creatives, including producers Michael Guy Chislett (Hillsong UNITED) and Aaron Hollinger (Hillsong Young & Free), in the making of interlude. He opens the record with “sleepless,” a track that features a collaboration with longtime friend Brooke Ligertwood of Hillsong Worship.
Houston adds,“interlude captures it perfectly –– I’ve listened to it through so many times, and it keeps surprising me. It’s not a flash in the pan record chasing some momentary trend or viral moment. It’s loaded with the kind of depth that comes when an artistic soul is willing to break wide open in search of lyric and melody, and that intangible mystery that marries the deepest parts of our being to the depths of the Creator’s heart. Yes, I’m Matty’s biggest fan, but it’s with conviction I say it––no hyperbole required. I’m so grateful to get a front row seat to what he threw into this record. It’s rare these days, but the end result is a body of work that captures the spirit and truth essence of a pure offering of worship––no cap.”
RELEVANT Magazine recognizes interlude this week noting, “At its core, interlude is an invitation. Not just to worship, but to rediscover—to find joy again, to pay attention again, to remember the sound that once made you believe in something bigger.”
