The ArtistThe heart of United is to create music that reveals the truth of who Jesus is. In studio and out of the studio on tour or at home Hillsong United is committed to writing songs that speak truth create a unique sound connects with churches individuals and ultimately connects people everywhere with God. Fronted by worship leaders Joel Houston Jad Gillies JD and Matt Crocker the team is an evolving collaboration of pastors worship leaders musicians and songwriters all intentional about giving voice to a generation passionate about God. Everything United... does whether it be from recording or writing songs to playing them in front of People and all that goes with that it's an expression of a really extraordinary God doing what only He can do through really ordinary people who love Him want to serve Him and to build His Church. To simply serve God and allow Him to do what only He can do has always been the team's desire. 'We're going into this next season full of expectation and a desire to go further and deeper to find new ways to bring people into the presence of God which is really not that difficult to do if we allow God to be God in the midst of it all.' - Joel Houston. The ProductThe idea of the acoustic sessions was to give people the songs in a stripped back version and setting. Zion was probably our most produced album and definitely the one we have worked the hardest on - so we thought there was a scale of how people would like the songs - one end the produced album versions and the stripped back acoustic versions.We grabbed the band and set up in a café where we live we told a bunch of people to come out and we fed them and sat there and played the songs. It was a pretty cool night! We were there till the early hours of the morning but it gave the songs a whole new life. We are hoping that people find a use for the songs somewhere on that spectrum we know a lot of people enjoy our stuff in the more caustic setting that may be friendlier for them to use in their church or wherever - so in essence this was for them! Although we definitely got something out of the night we recorded them. We also filmed the whole night and that is available as this DVD - just to show the team in a different setting that most people would have seen - the big stage and lights and crowd. We wanted to show that the songs could work in a more intimate setting - we hope people agree.
