Award-winning worship leaders and songwriters Aodhán King and Benjamin William Hastings officially announce their collaborative project, Happy To Be Here, born out of a 10-day writing and recording session between the longtime friends. Today, they released the second song, “Saturday,” from the anticipated project. Listen to the new track and pre-save the album ahead of its May 29 release (Anotherland/Capitol CMG).
“Saturday” lives in the in-between. It is the quiet, uncertain day between the cross and the resurrection. The song captures the tension of trusting God when nothing seems to be happening. It reflects the space between the worst thing that’s ever happened and the best yet to come, a season that can feel like it lasts forever. Marked by waiting, wrestling, and faith in the dark, “Saturday” is a reminder not to give up. Even in the silence, something is unfolding because Sunday is coming.
This new release and album announcement follow the recent single “Hollow Grave,” and further highlight the collaborative spirit behind Happy To Be Here. King and Hastings enlisted several of their Hillsong bandmates to join them in the studio, alongside special guest artists including Cody Carnes and Elevation Worship’s Tiffany Hudson.
