Hayden James’ latest LP LIFTED is now here for all to enjoy. The nine track record should be the blueprint for vocal house.
Not only does the album showcase Hayden James’ talents, the LP is filled with collaborations with some of the best in the house and alternative worlds. From Boo Seeka to SIDEPIECE to Jem Cooke, the talent is overflowing throughout LIFTED.
Whilst the project is a terrific collection of house music, it’s not mind blowing. James’ Between Us is sure to leave more of an impression, which is more so a testament to James’ consistent quality. Whenever Hayden James or house fans need 40 minutes of good music, LIFTED should be the go to.
Released just ahead of his debut appearance at Coachella, LIFTED is an expansion of Hayden’s enduring legacy in dance music and promises to be his most heartfelt and authentic work to date.
About the record, Hayden says: “LIFTED was born out of the yearning for some light and positivity after a tough last few years for everyone. As I started writing the album, I kept coming back to the idea of creating something energetic and live and super uplifting that could bring people together again. I began working on the album late 2020 and used all the time off I had from touring to make something special because I knew the return to live music would be epic, a major vibe. The result is a huge emotional, energetic dance record, with elements of piano-house, melodic house and a positive tone and feel that can be found across all tracks. When I write an album, everything has a place and a purpose, and it’s all part of the bigger story. I’m so happy with the journey of this album.”
