Triple-platinum artist and producer Hayden James has graciously bestowed his sophomore LP ‘LIFTED’ via Future Classic, just in time for warmer weather.

Most of the lyrics within this album embody that uplifting nostalgic wave of rhythm when you are having the time of your life crying in the club while exuding confidence through your dance moves.

The first track on this album features a dance-pop single called ‘Lights Go Down‘ featuring Grammy-nominated duo SIDEPIECE. This particular song serves an upbeat disco twist infused with melodic beats layered on an ethereal deep-house tempo.

Tracks such as “Hold Tight” carry meaningful lyrics with classic piano chords and emphatic vocals. In this record, Hayden encourages his fans to continue going forward with their passion while still holding space for that special someone we may have to love from a distance with lyrics such as
“Lately I’ve been lost in the motion.
Tripping over pieces of us
Heart is at the end of the ocean
I’ve been tryna reach up above
All of these feelings I, I can’t control
Don’t wanna leave them anymore”.

Yoooo, the homies call me Marz. I am a multidimensional Piscean Latina fairy from Miami-Dade County (no, not Florida). Electronic music has allowed me to appreciate the profound beauty that can be found in finding peace within the chaos. Artists such as Rezz, Skrillex, John Summit, Michael Bibi, and Amtrac blend the two seamlessly, creating a harmonious balance that resonates with me whenever I am on the dancefloor. When I am writing about electronic music, I feel this same balance of peace and chaos moving through me - starting in my hips, filling my heart, and radiating out from my soul. The power of music has brought me to this exact moment, and I only desire that you feel the warmth of the sun through my words.
