James Reid: The self-titled album
Pop R&B is definitely on the rise again with new original songs to flourish from such a young talent as James Reid who emerge to establish his name in the music industry. It is an impressive 6-track album with a minus one.
At the age of 20, Fil-Australian James Reid has written 2 original songs for this debut album: “You Make My Body Move” (arranged by singer-songwriter Thyro Alfaro) and “Game Changer” (arranged by Lester “Klumcee” & Eman D’ Great). Both songs showcases his dance, pop and R&B roots. He’s been very proud about his compositions and said “Being physically sold, not so much. I’m just glad that it’s out. I just wanted to be heard.”
Debut single is entitled “Alam Niya Ba” also composed by Thyro Alfaro. “Gone” is another song in the album and a pair of covers. One is Dobie Gray’s “Loving Arms” and Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You.” Whether it’s his own song, or if he’s interpreting somebody else’s, James Reid proves that he can handle both and let his own style shine through.
