The delightful pop track serves as the third single off his upcoming EP “jgh,” to be released next month
With the release of “Mirasol” which is available today through Sony Music Entertainment, James Reid is continuing to earworm his way to mainstream ubiquity.
With an astonishing run of unstoppable chart-toppers in the 2010s, his most recent song not only exudes unquestionable charisma but also reaffirms his promise as a hitmaker of the highest level.
James explains that the song is about falling in love with a sunflower and how romance is something that needs to be understood, appreciated, and protected. He continues, “Love is an organic process and needs to grow naturally.”
“Mirasol” is co-written by James and Alison Shore, an R&B artist whose work brims with effortless cool and ‘90s suave. Both accomplished artists thought of using the sunflower as a metaphor “for a relationship that gives off an air of sweet summer romance and innocence.”
As James explains it further, “I want to connect on a different level with my fans that I haven’t been able to do before. Writing in Tagalog (Filipino) was a very welcomed challenge for me, and I’ve enjoyed it so much.”
One Click Straight’s Tim Marquez, a frequent collaborator of James himself, also brought a tapestry of effortlessly blissful sound that complements the romantic nature of the lyrics. The final product evokes the more commercial and critically acclaimed work of James Reid during the Diary Ng Panget era, but rendered with more sophistication and subtlety, production-wise.
The third single off his forthcoming EP, jgh, which is scheduled for release on November 22, 2024, is “Mirasol.” The next EP, which includes songs like “Sandal” and “Hurt Me Too,” is characterized as a “return-to-form” record that touches on his more pop-leaning direction and softer, more vulnerable side.
James Reid’s “Mirasol” is currently available on all digital music platforms across the globe through Careless and Sony Music Entertainment.
