'More than Friends' features vocals from Kelli-Leigh

James Hype joined VIBE 107.6 FM's Thursday Drivetime presenter Chris Ros to speak about his top 10 hit 'More Than Friends.'

’Can’t complain’’ is the way James Hype described his current mood as ‘More than Friends’ becomes ever more present on UK radio and summertime playlists across streaming services. It’s currently the most Shazamed UK song as listeners seek to keep the summertime vibes going. ‘More than Friends’ fits the bill as a sunshine tune and rightly so, will go on to have more success - as long as the skies remain blue.

The DJ and producer from Liverpool, now based in London, described the tune as ‘’one to give you goosebumps’’ as the uplifting house tempo is backed up by the powerhouse vocals from the up and coming Kelli-Leigh.

Can we expect a music video sometime soon? James said he “can neither confirm nor deny”.
