On his second mini-LP of 2025, the intensely introspective JP Saxe continues to blur the line between self-analysis and self-flagellation that he toed on the preceding Articulate Excuses. “If I turn off my head, will it still turn back on?” he asks on the crestfallen piano ballad “I HAVEN’T SAID ENOUGH,” underscoring his inner anguish with liberal quotes of “Losing My Religion” that remind us the R.E.M. classic was named after the Southern-slang term for freaking out. But Make Yourself at Home shows that Saxe is learning to exhale a bit—or at least figuring out (as the closing acoustic lullaby puts it) “HOW TO STAY HUMAN.” In other words, he’s giving himself a little more grace for not always having his shit together, as reflected in the album’s more relaxed feel and endearingly homespun blend of his go-to synth-pop, R&B, and classic singer-songwriter influences. And with Argentine pop star TINI turning up to drop some Spanish verses on the moody slow jam “STRANGERS,” Saxe’s musical vocabulary continues to expand even as his writing remains achingly intimate.
