Lifted is the second studio album by Australian songwriter and record producer Hayden James. The album was released on 8 April 2022.
The album will be supported by the Australian and New Zealand Lifted Tour, commencing in Brisbane in August 2022. [5]
James began working on Lifted in "late 2020" after the COVID-19 pandemic stopped him from touring. He told Triple J "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." [6]
The album was announced via James' twitter on 19 January 2022, where he released the cover art and release date of 8 April 2022. [7] [8]
