In an exclusive interview with Worship Leader Magazine in 2013, Joel Houston and Matt Crocker of Hillsong United shared profound insights into the creation of their album "Zion." Reflecting on the thematic evolution from their previous work, "Aftermath," Houston emphasized the album's overarching focus on purpose-driven songs inspired by the biblical concept of Zion. They believe that believers play an active role in bringing God's kingdom to Earth, emphasizing the significance of understanding God's timeline from creation to the new creation centered around the cross.
Matt Crocker delved into the musical exploration behind "Zion," describing it as a blend of influences from various genres, humorously labeled as "retro electro future folk worship" by Houston. The album aimed to infuse a modern touch into worship while maintaining a timeless quality. The interview explored the delicate balance between creativity and worship, with Houston urging against limiting worship to contextual constraints. The Hillsong United team embraced experimentation with sound while ensuring that the songs remained pure and true to their essence.
When discussing standout tracks, Crocker highlighted the explosive nature of the first song and the emotional resonance of "Oceans" and "Heartbeats." Houston expressed the uniqueness of each track on "Zion," emphasizing lyrical depth and personal connections. The interview also uncovered the deeply personal inspiration behind the song "Mercy Mercy," a heartfelt prayer of repentance inspired by the passing of a friend they led to the Lord in New York City. Overall, the interview provides a glimpse into the spiritual and creative journey of "Zion," showcasing the depth and sincerity that define Hillsong United's approach to worship and music.

hmmm...with Zion, it was the message that touched me (that's the point anyways) but the music ended up growing on this once bluesman wannabe :P blessed be the name of God...nonetheless if i was to play any of these songs i'd probably go the acoustic route, just feels right
Thanks for watching.
As God is the breath of creativity, Satan is red-tape and obstacles.

Alguien tiene que traducir esto al español porfavor!!!!
finally Joel Houston cut his hair!
I was worshiping in a band one time and at that time, the worship leader always shredded the guitar. It wasn't appropriate and didn't fit. It's the lyrics and the singing that matters, and it's not about the leader's singing, it's about the audience being able to sing out their hearts.
