"Just Friends"
Song

"Just Friends" is a song by Australian singer Hayden James featuring Boy Matthews. It was released on 27 April 2018 via the Future Classic label.[1] The song has peaked at number 26 on the ARIA Singles Chart, becoming James' highest-charting single.[2]

Critical reception

Robin Murray from Clash Music called the song "stellar" saying "The fresh-sounding synth foundation builds into an imposing structure, the nuanced arrangement affording room for that powerful, propulsive vocal. There are shades of Chet Faker or even Disclosure here, a pop-edged underground sound making it on its own terms."[3] Julia Brodnick said "It's super catchy and has me dancing around with its pop-tinges and addictive melodies. Featuring vocals from Boy Matthews that really brings the song to competition, this tune is a perfect one to vibe out with."[4] Amnplify said "[it] is an infectious four-minutes of pitched-down soulful harmonies, driving bass lines and direct vocals from Boy Matthews – all wrapped within Hayden's signature twist of alluring momentum and rolling grooves."[5]
