Singles from Hallelujah Here Below

Hallelujah Here Below is the seventh live album by American contemporary worship band Elevation Worship. It was released by Elevation Church on September 28, 2018.[1]

Hallelujah Here Below was nominated for the 2019 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.[2]

Background

The album was recorded over a night in March 2018 at Elevation Church's Ballantyne campus in Charlotte, North Carolina, where previous Elevation Worship projects have been recorded.[3][4] The Christian Beat noted the album consists of "honest confessions of brokenness mixed with soaring declarations of faith".[5] Member Chris Brown said the album is about "how God doesn't ask for perfect praise",[5] further stating:

We wonder what He could possibly want with our messy, dysfunctional lives. Because, after all, He's got a chorus of angels worshipping Him, singing endless and perfect praises around his throne in heaven day and night. And yet, I believe our King still loves the sound of the hallelujahs that come from broken, imperfect, but redeemed people here on earth. Our prayer is that this album would be a gate into His presence that helps usher in an atmosphere of worship in our lives.[6]

Promotion

The first single, "Won't Stop Now", was released as an instant grat to those who pre-ordered the album on iTunes.[3] Brown said the song is about "believing that our best days are ahead of us. And what God has planned for us is immeasurably more than we imagine."[3] The band also announced the Hallelujah Here Below Tour along with the album, which is set to visit the United States East Coast and Canada from October.[3] "Here Again" was released as the second single in August 2018,[7] and "Echo" featuring Tauren Wells became the third of four planned singles to precede the album when it was released in September.[4] The title track was released as the fourth single on September 14, 2018.[8]

Jesus Freak Hideout 3/5 stars[9]

Alex Caldwell of Jesus Freak Hideout gave the album three out of five stars and called it a "mixed bag of tunes that mostly play it safe and stick to the well-established (and somewhat rote) formula of much of modern worship".[9] Caldwell complimented lead single "Won't Stop Now" and the title track, and named "Echo" the standout track as its "rhythmic change here is a much needed directional turn from the sameness of much of the similar mid-temp rhythms and dynamics".[9] In a review for New Release Today, Jasmin Patterson said the band has delivered an album that is "not only impactful spiritually but will also be a ton of fun to play and sing in personal or church worship settings".[10] Patterson deemed the highlight a tie between "Echo" and "Then He Rose", calling "Echo" a song that "just connects with people and makes a heart come alive in worship" and "Then He Rose" a "powerful song about the resurrection of Jesus that would make a great addition to Easter setlists".[10]
