At the end of February, longtime friends Benjamin William Hastings and Aodhán King began teasing a collaboration, cryptically directing fans to a website: waitingtoseewhatgoddoes.com. Turns out, the mysterious collaboration is a full-length studio album.
Following a similar formula pioneered on King’s recent collaborative project with Abbie Gamboa, which resulted in the 10-track “Throwing Paint” and released in August 2025, the two revered lyricists hunkered down in a Nashville studio for 10 days with a small circle of friends to, indeed, see what God might do.
17 tracks were written, and more than 100 vocal takes were captured over the course of the experiment. Although an official album title and a release date have yet to be announced, the duo has been documenting their progress across their respective social platforms.
“I am tired, but I am so excited about all of this. We started the week saying, ‘We’re waiting to see what God does,’ and what He’s done has kind of been pretty insane — like the group of people who have just pulled together pretty last minute, the songs that have come out, the amount of laughter that has been had…I’m really, really excited for this album,” Hastings shared on day six of the ambitious endeavor. “This has really quickly become one of the favorite things I’ve ever been a part of.”
The talented pair has already dropped the first track previewing the complete record to come. The folky, organic “Hollow Grave” gives listeners a taste of what Hastings and King have been cooking up in the studio.
“We intentionally set out to write a fun song that we could sing in any setting. The juxtaposition of a hollow grave and the fullness of life we have found in Jesus very quickly became the backbone of the song, and from there, the song sort of wrote itself,” King says of the joyful lead single he and Hastings penned with Ben Fielding, Ben Tan and Hank Bentley. “From the moment we finished it, we’ve been itching to get this song out and be singing it in church.”
Information on the forthcoming LP is still sparse, but fans can sign up for their mailing list on the project’s website to unlock behind-the-scenes content.
