Releasing January 13, the EP features five tracks, including three new songs, and is full of the energy that is becoming synonymous with Young & Free worship. The EP highlights are the opener and title track - a collaboration with Grammy-winning rap artist Lecrae - as well as a newly recorded version of "Sinking Deep" (from We Are Young & Free). An acoustic version of "This Is Living" is also featured. "For us it was a dream come true to collaborate with Lecrae who we not only love and respect as an artist, but as someone who is a strong voice for freedom to this generation. If anyone's message echoes the message of 'This Is Living' it's Lecrae," shares the Young & Free team.

About YOUNG & FREE: Hillsong Young & Free is the creative worship expression of Hillsong Church's current youth ministry. Y&F is a church youth ministry by name, but by identity, a youth community that has found hope, salvation, joy, forgiveness and a future in Jesus Christ.
More than a worship band or a label, Y&F is a message and mission to a generation that is called to stand strong in their youth and in their freedom, refusing to allow others to dismiss them for their age, and refusing to allow the chains of their history to leave them shackled. This is a generation awakened to their purpose in Jesus and empowered to step out into their calling.
For over thirty years, God has called and graced the Hillsong Church team to create praise and worship music that would be a blessing to the global church. Today, the groundswell that is Y&F continues that story, with songs that express the deep, unending life and joy that is found in Jesus. The Y&F team's prayer is that these songs might provide an entry point whereby hearts awaken to the light of Christ, captives are set free, and the name of Jesus is made known.
