Hillsong Young & Free Essentials

Editors’ Notes Hillsong Young & Free's success since their founding in 2012 is proof that young Christians in the 21st century are increasingly craving praise & worship that's cutting-edge, diverse and fun. Where their traditionally minded predecessors, Hillsong United and Hillsong Worship, lean heavily on rock-inspired ballads, Y&F are all about exuberantly positive tunes informed by modern pop: EDM's dance-floor bounce, synth-pop's neon hooks and hip-hop's bass-thumping fun. Perhaps no cut better captures their sound than the Lecrae-featured “This Is Living”, a pulsating romp more geared towards sun-drenched raves than indoor conference spaces.
