'''''High''''' is the second [extended play](/source/extended_play) (EP) by Australian alternative pop singer-songwriter and producer [Jarryd James](/source/Jarryd_James). The EP was released on 29 July 2016 and debuted and peaked at no. 40 on the [ARIA Albums Chart](/source/ARIA_Charts).

James collaborated with many sought-after producers, including long-time collaborator [Joel Little](/source/Joel_Little), [Mikky Ekko](/source/Mikky_Ekko), [Tobias Jesso Jr](/source/Tobias_Jesso_Jr) and [Andrew "Pop" Wansel](/source/Pop_%26_Oak).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/musicnews/s4509922.htm|title=Jarryd James drops surprise new EP High|publisher=[Australian Broadcasting Corporation](/source/Australian_Broadcasting_Corporation)|date=29 July 2016|accessdate=9 August 2016}}</ref>

Upon release of the EP, James explained his songwriting; "I tend to only focus on the melodies and whatever happens instrumentally is just what feels right. I also don't come in with words already written, I like to form lyrics, let them be informed by the vibe of the music."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.jbhifi.com.au/music/browse/alternative/high-ep/972227/|title=High EP by Jarryd James|publisher=JBHiFi|accessdate=9 August 2016}}</ref>

James will promote the album in the United States throughout August and September 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/music/do-you-remember-pop-star-jarryd-james-on-those-awkward-songwriting-blind-dates-for-new-ep/news-story/6c7413beab8f05f868d3fc69a5389209|title=Do You Remember pop star Jarryd James on those awkward songwriting blind dates for new EP|publisher=[news.com.au](/source/news.com.au)|date=21 July 2016|accessdate=9 August 2016}}</ref>

==Reception==
Jessica Mule from ''[Renowned for Sound](/source/Renowned_for_Sound)'' gave the EP 4 stars out of 5, saying: "''High'' simmers and stirs with its electro-R&B influence. Each of the six tracks on the EP stands on their own with its own emotional fingerprint."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://renownedforsound.com/index.php/ep-review-jarryd-james-high/|title=EP REVIEW: JARRYD JAMES – HIGH|publisher=Renowned for Sound|date=11 August 2016|accessdate=21 March 2017}}</ref>

AAA Backstage gave the EP 3.5 out of 5 saying' "Although edgy at times, the EP features a timbre that feels familiar yet somehow vague at the same time. The tracks attempt to showcase a variety of vibes and certainly do justice to James’ excellent, if not sometimes wispy, vocals. Arguably lacking in wow-power, the EP delivers a polished version of exactly what we expected. It’s all about a rhythmic simplicity that hones in on lyrical memos, which is by no means a bad thing."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://aaabackstage.com/jarryd-james-ep-review/|title=EP REVIEW: JARRYD JAMES 'HIGH'|publisher=AAA Backstage|date=2 August 2016|accessdate=21 March 2017}}</ref>
