For King & Country Ask Fans For Prayer As They Start Work On A ‘Huge’ New Project
By Movieguide® Contributor
For King & Country band members Luke and Joel Smallbone recently called on their fans to pray as they continue work on a new project.
In an Instagram post, the duo wrote:
Would you pray for us?
As some of you have heard, we’re hard at work on a huge project this fall.. one that we’re embarking on officially as of today! We’ll be sharing more in the coming weeks, but it’s quite a daunting task that will require a significant amount of effort & wisdom from both us & our team…. if you have a moment today & in the coming weeks, we’d certainly appreciate your prayers.
Grateful for all the love you’ve shared on ‘Love Me Like I Am’ over the weekend, & for your support throughout this season. Feeling very appreciative of each of you as we look back and look forward today.
It’s unknown what this new project the band is working on, but fans are excited!
Movieguide® previously reported on For King & Country’s musical success:
Two weeks into their “What Are We Waiting For?” tour, For King & Country are excited for what the Lord has in store.
“We’ve gotten through the hard stuff,” Luke Smallbone told the Albuquerque Journal. “We’re always grateful to be out on the road. We’ve switched the gear and have found our stride.”
Luke performs alongside his brother Joel. The Grammy Award-winning Christian duo released their “What Are We Waiting For?” album on March 11 and were excited to return to touring after the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We write these songs in these little rooms and in some cases they are your stories of hopes and dreams,” Luke said. “When you release it, it’s for the world to hear. So far, people have been very kind. Art is a subjective idea. In some cases, you can sign up for people getting really angry.”
“Our hope is to make a piece of music in an album that tells a full story,” he continued. “I want track eight and nine to be as important as one and five. Who wants the end of the story to be lame? We try to write albums that tell a complete story. One that will have some connection with an audience.”
Despite their tour hiatus, the Smallbones said they were thankful for the chance to set aside some of life’s distractions and focus on family.
“It was a gift,” Luke explained. “We were all very settled and we’d be able to sleep on the songs and ideas. Then we’d get up and put holes into the songs that we wrote the previous day. It was the most enjoyable writing process.”
“The pandemic taught me valuable lessons,” he added. “What I realize about being too busy is that it makes me a worse husband and father. It’s not good for my soul. My life shouldn’t be infiltrated by work. For the most part, when I’m home, I try not to work. We will have a family day.”
Luke also shared some of the inspiration behind the new album.
“I’ve had some unique stuff take place in my life and I remember thinking, ‘Why do these things happen,’” he said. “When I started music, I felt God say to me that these things happen because these are stories that reflect hope. It’s real and it’s true.”
