Hayden James Releases New Single ‘Patience’ Featuring Karen Harding via Future Classic
Australian multi-platinum artist Hayden James is back with another new single ‘Patience’ featuring English singer/songwriter Karen Harding out now via Future Classic. ‘Patience’ serves as the fourth single off James’ forthcoming third studio album We Could Be Love out September 13.
With his latest single, Hayden James beautifully displays his ability to create intimate yet energetic originals that are captivating on and off the dance floor. ‘Patience’ enlists the effervescent vocals of Karen Harding, known for her collaborations with Armand Van Helden, Purple Disco Machine, Rudimental. Referencing his 2019-released ‘Just Friends’, the track swirls with driving bass lines and crisp percussion that backdrop Harding’s gentle love story. The heartfelt sentiments of ‘Patience’ are carried throughout the album as James continues to distinguish himself with his craftsmanship as a songwriter and the relatable emotions he threads into each release. A euphoric earworm destined for clubland, ‘Patience’ captures the vibrancy and uplifting spirit fans can expect on We Could Be Love.
“Patience feels like ‘Just Friends’ part two. It’s got the same vibe to me, similar storyline and big bass lines. I’ve truly gone back to my classic HJ feel for this one. Karen is an incredibly talented songwriter and it’s been amazing to work with her on ‘Patience’. Turn it up!” – Hayden James
“We wanted to capture that classic sexy melody with an emotional twist. It’s about falling in love with someone but taking it slow and asking for understanding. I feel like every section of the song takes you on such a journey that you gotta listen again to make sure you didn’t miss anything.” – Karen Harding
