Aodhán King Marks One Year of His Debut Album ‘Beyond Us’
Aodhán King Marks One Year of His Debut Album ‘Beyond Us.’ Aodhán King is celebrating a milestone moment. Over the weekend, the Australian singer and songwriter paused to honour the first anniversary of his debut album, Beyond Us, which arrived on 18 October last year.
In a warm note to listeners, he shared gratitude for every stream, message, and story tied to the record, and he invited fans to name their standout track from the original release.
The post reads like a thank-you letter to a growing community that has followed King from writer and worship leader to fully fledged solo artist after leaving Hillsong United. He made a point of crediting the collaborators who shaped the project, acknowledging the quiet work behind the songs as much as the moments that reached playlists and stages. True to form, he kept the tone personal and unguarded, turning the anniversary into a shared reflection with the people who carried the album through its first year.
There was also a playful boundary for the conversation. “Deluxe doesn’t count quite yet,” King wrote, nudging the comment section toward the core album rather than the expanded version. The challenge sparked the kind of debate every artist hopes for, where favourites are argued on the strength of lyrics, melodies, and the way a song lands in real life.
Beyond Us arrived as a statement of intent, framing King’s solo voice around themes of nearness, surrender, and hope that extend beyond the self. The record’s first year has seen it become a companion piece for listeners who prize honest worship writing and modern pop craftsmanship in equal measure. That blend is part of why the album still feels fresh twelve months on, and why the conversation around it remains lively rather than nostalgic.
