Between Us is the debut studio album by Australian songwriter and record producer Hayden James. James told Billboard the album represents "the journey through different stages of relationships; love, separation and ultimately hope.".[4] The album was released on 14 June 2019.

James added in a Press release "Everything that I write obviously has my own DNA in it. It's important to me to make sure that when people listen to a record of mine they know it's a Hayden James record without having to look it up, and that comes to production techniques I use or the way I actually write the songs. So this record is more of a development of my sounds than anything else."[5]

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2019, the album was nominated for Best Male Artist.[6]

At the J Awards of 2019, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.[7]

The Music[8]

Between Us received widespread acclaim.[9]

Carley Hall from the Music gave the album 4 out of 5 saying "With Between Us, James shows he is more than the usual blockbuster anthems we have come to expect."[8] Triple J said "[James] has pulled out all the stops across eleven deep house tracks. From top shelf collaborators to propulsive bass lines and melodic hooks, this is home grown dance at its finest."[10]
