Ian Yates Drops New EP "Battlelands Vol. 2"
UK-based worship leader and songwriter Ian Yates releases his brand new EP Battlelands Vol. 2 via 7Core Music today! Featuring 4 new songs, you can download or stream them on all digital platforms now.
Ian writes, "I came across the phrase 'Battlelands' and loved what it meant, I was inspired by the word and the idea that there are a lot of answers I don't have. 'I don't know' is a valid answer for me now.
"This is really 'Deconstruction' Vol 2. These songs were written for the 'Between the Joy and the Sorrow' project, we recorded them, yet felt they didn't fit that project. They've now made 'Battlelands' EP - 4 songs of honesty, reality and disappointment, yet filled with a quiet hope.
"Musically and sonically, I love this collection of songs. I know not everyone will get them or like them, but I'm super grateful to release them. Trevor Michael's production and the drums played by Paul Evans sound immense."
Tracklist:
1. Drop in the Ocean
2. We'll Be Alright
3. Tension
4. Battlelands
