"He has the keys to our studios, and to our hearts," Bob Moses said of Hayden James

Bob Moses and Hayden James brought the best of both worlds on "Do You Want Me," their effortless, debut collaboration.

Released a few months ago, it’s a shimmering summer anthem where yearning vocals from Bob Moses soar above a soundscape sprinkled with dance-pop elements à la Hayden James. The track is a billet-doux not only to their enduring friendship, but also their collaborative spirit.

A collaboration was long overdue.

Four years ago, Hayden James remixed “Back Down," a track off the Bob Moses duo's Battle Lines album. The remix gave us a taste of what they’d sound like together.

Since then, their styles have evolved. The self-dubbed “Rock band with an identity crisis,” Bob Moses have dived deeper into indie-pop flavors, far from their brooding deep house roots.

Meanwhile, Hayden James has been churning out euphoric, '90s-influenced house music. LIFTED, his sophomore album released last year, was full of it.

Both artists share a strong emphasis on songwriting and vocal-driven productions. But their chemistry extends far beyond their stylistic affinity. 

In conversation Hayden James riffed with Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance of Bob Moses like childhood best friends at a high school reunion. Quips and banter swelled through talks of dream collaborations, favorite tracks and collaborative goals.

Four on the floor, small block humming, Windows down, summer cruzing - go baby - Go !!!!
