James Reid hits home with new EP, jgh

Tweet

The 6-track release serves as his first record under Sony Music Entertainment

James Reid has officially released his highly anticipated new EP, jgh, under Sony Music Entertainment and Careless Music.

The 6-track record gives an intimate glimpse into his past and present life, chronicling how he has matured all these years, both as an artist and as a person.

Short for “just got home,” jgh also marks a significant moment in Reid’s musical evolution, symbolizing his return to a place of peace and serenity, lyrically and sonically speaking. With a blend of pop, R&B, and OPM sensibilities, the EP captures Reid at his most vulnerable, rediscovering the earnest, grounded parts of his identity that he may have lost touch with and learning to forgive himself and accept the flaws that came with it.

“My home is a reflection of myself,” says James Reid. “It’s filled with things I’ve gathered along my journey and decorated with memories. It’s been another crazy year, and now that I’m home, I have a lot of stories to tell.”

Written and produced by Reid alongside collaborators Tim Marquez, Niko, Luke April, Alison Shore, and Brian Lotho, the EP is marked by its introspective nature and sparse production. Many of the tracks began as simple acoustic guitar or piano compositions, with each producer adding their own unique touch to further shape the mood of the record.

“All the songs were written from the heart,” James shares. “Some of them were painful to write, others were inspired by realizations I had along the way, and some were inspired by love. It was an emotional journey, and I see each of these songs like a page from my diary or a chapter in my life—truths I may have found difficult to express before.”

The EP’s production style is subtle yet impactful, reflecting a sense of comforting warmth that resonates deeply with a universal audience. The songs are intentionally understated, trading polished arrangements or high-energy hooks in favor of nuanced details that highlight Reid’s rich vocal delivery and powerful storytelling.

As an entirety, jgh has the potential to dominate the charts and win over even the most hardened listener's icy heart.

Tracklist for jgh:

1. Mirasol

2. Di Bale

3. Sandal

4. Hurt Me Too

5. Your Boy

6. Pauwi Na

James Reid’s new album, ‘jgh’ is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment and Careless Music.

Taking photos is one thing but knowing how to photograph moments is another. Internationally-renowned photographer Magic Liwanag has taken countless photos in his many years in the industry, each evoking a captured moment and amazing experience. But when he’s not taking them with a professional camera, his next device of choice is the newly launched OPPO Find X8. 

Equipped with the Hasselblad Master Camera System, the new flagship from OPPO brings professional-level photography tools to your pocket and makes it easier than ever to snap jaw-dropping shots and immortalize the best experiences in life. 

Ready to learn from one of the best photographers? Here's how Magic uses the OPPO Find X8 to take  portraits to the next level.

Use Hasselblad Portrait Mode for Professional Depth

Magic’s first tip? Tap into the OPPO Find X8’s Hasselblad Portrait Mode. The OPPO Find X8 boasts a Hasselblad Master Camera System featuring a triple 50MP setup designed to deliver professional-grade results, your photographs captured with the OPPO Find X8 will showcase stunning details and vivid colors.

“This mode brings out natural bokeh and incredible detail,” says Magic. Whether you're capturing candid moments at a café or a friend's laughter during brunch, the OPPO Find X8 isolates your subject, giving your shots that polished, studio-quality feel. 

One of Magic’s pro tips is to experiment with the five different portrait focal lengths to find the perfect frame for your subject.

Let AI Do the Heavy Lifting

It’s always been the dilemma of many people that the colors and quality of their photos they take in their phone does not give justice to what they actually saw. This is where OPPO Find X8’s HyperTone enters. This tool intelligently merges multiple RAW frames to deliver high-resolution images with vibrant colors and balanced shadows. “The OPPO Find X8’s HyperTone Image Engine is a game-changer,” Magic shares. Whether you're snapping photos at golden hour or capturing nightlife scenes, the AI ensures your shots stay sharp and true-to-life.

Maximize AI Telescope Zoom for Creative Perspectives

Magic encourages experimenting with AI Telescope Zoom, which allows you to zoom in up to 120x without sacrificing clarity. “This is perfect for shooting intimate portraits from afar or focusing on small details that tell a bigger story,” he says. With its ability to zoom in from 10x to 60x up to a max of 120x for both photos and videos, the OPPO Find X8 leverages the power of AI to restore details often lost at extreme distances. 

Capture Every Moment with Lightning Snap

The innovative Lightning Snap mode ensures you never miss a moment, even with moving subjects from sporting events or if you are taking a snap of your pet by capturing up to seven frames per second. For those who love action shots, Magic suggests holding down the shutter button to activate Lightning Snap. “It’s like having a DSLR in your hands. You can capture pets, kids, or any fast-moving subjects with ease,” he adds. 

One of his pro tip is to use Lightning Snap during outdoor adventures or impromptu photo walks to freeze every fleeting moment.

Fine-Tune with AI Photo Remaster Tools

After capturing your portraits, enhance them with AI Photo Remaster tools. Magic highlights the power of AI Clarity Enhancer to sharpen images and AI Reflection Remover to clean up unwanted glare. “These tools give your photos that extra pop,” he notes. Apart from AI Reflection Remover, the AI Photo Remaster is packed with other usefulAI tools such as AI Clarity Enhancer and AI Unblur, taking and editing photos with the OPPO Find X8 is made seamless, turning ordinary images into professional masterpieces with a few taps.

Embrace Spontaneity
