I think this guy is probably a bonafide genius - and I don't use the term lightly. He deserves a thread of his own. Lots out there on Youtube. He does it all incidentally - plays, records and everything.
I know I'm getting soft in my old age but I usually end up with tears rolling down my face listening to his breathtaking stuff.

Re: Jacob Collier
Check out the accordion player. Seriously, staggeringly good. The drummer's up for it too.

A rather thoughtless and dismissive response if I may say.

Re: Jacob Collier
Yeah. Sure. Whatever etc.
I don’t know if you know anything about music theory, but amongst other things this lad is inventing new chords. Watch this space.

Re: Jacob Collier
He'd be better if he did his own stuff. Will be interesting to see if he can sustain a career doing covers. At the moment he just comes across like fancy cabaret to me.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Can you give an example of a new chord?

Re: Jacob Collier
Jacob Collier is obviously very skilled at what he does, but going by the two clips offered in the opening post the result of his efforts is a kitschy melange of pop going nowhere. Just my opinion, of course. I listened to the first track twice and the second one one and a half times. No spark. I suspect that if I gave them a third chance, Collier's musical offerings would begin to irritate me.

Does not do me anything I am afraid. Just noise.

Re: Jacob Collier
It's not that I don't find him impressive, I do, he's just not really my cup of tea. When it comes to self-published and produced, multi-instrumentalists I'm more into Gautier Serre right now. Though you're far less likely to hear him on the radio as he doesn't tick the pop boxes.
