Northern Irish worship band Rend Collective has unveiled their latest EP, “Hallelujah Anyway.” The EP includes two new versions of the title track, the current single, along with three previously unreleased songs: “Homesick,” “Beggars To Kings,” and “Let It Roll (Live).” In addition to the EP, a deluxe version of their 2022 album “Whosoever” has been released, featuring the new songs from the EP.
Reflecting on the significance of the title track, the band shared, “We’ve always felt like our songs don’t really come alive until we hear the church sing them back to us, and over the last year, we’ve heard thousands of people making ‘Hallelujah Anyway’ their anthem, striking a match of hopeful worship in the midst of heartbreak and chemo and all kinds of traumatic situations.”
The band also expressed their desire to provide listeners with a glimpse into their studio experience, stating, “We wrote and recorded with our mate, Matt Maher, and when we heard his amazing vocals all over ‘Hallelujah Anyway’ in the writing room, it felt like you needed to hear it too! Thank you for making ‘Hallelujah Anyway’ such a special and significant song in our catalogue – we hope you feel the same way.”
Rend Collective, with over 750 million career streams, a No. 3 Billboard Top Christian / Gospel album debut for “Choose to Worship,” and an RIAA Gold and Platinum single for “My Lighthouse,” continues to be a notable presence in the worship music scene. As part of their ongoing journey, the band will embark on their “Campfire: The 10th Anniversary Tour,” visiting the U.K., Ireland, and the U.S. for 34 dates from February to May.
