Thank you so much for having me, you wonderful people!!!
-
When the name Genius is actually warranted
-
"The only dark I'm afraid of is the dark in my heart" - ✨
-
This mans vocal range is incredible, he can sing the strings the bass with what seems to be such ease, and then go back in that upper register
-
For years people have had this reaction to Collier like he’s an alien, and said as much to his face in interviews. They can’t imagine how his mind produces the music. Between videos like this and his long Logic sessions on IG, he is in fact one of the most transparent composers there is.

04:57 Don't argue with Jacob in the comments about this, okay? 👍
-
Got a huge grin on my face when i saw this in my feed! Jacob is such a warm and genuine person!!
-
"We think of ourselves as cameras, but we're just projectors. And so if you see the dark, then you are the dark."
-
I’ve been singing this to my 10 month old at night ever since it was released
-
Im gonna see jacob live in november, i can already tell im gonna cry my eyes out when he plays this one
-
oh jacob - pure soul, pure mind, a loving heart
-
“You’re never truly alone as long as you have loved” Jacob I’m at work!! Stop making me cry
-
What’s really facinating to me is that you can tell which version of Little Blue he’s thinking about just from his pitch tendancies. At the start, you can tell he’s using his Mahogany Session’s version from him just a hair sharper than what Eb in A=440Hz would sound, eventually almost getting to E natural at 3:00 in the video. However, you can see him go right to the album version of Little Blue at 4:39, sinking back down to the warmth of a much lower Eb. 3:00 va 4:39 for comparison

Genuis.. literally! Not in an unattainable way, but rather so pure, sincere and human🥹
-
we got a jacob collier genius video 🙏 the world is healing
-
Tears are flowing down my cheeks as he explains this song.....so brilliant, so innocent! He literally is Nature Boy..."There was a boy, a very strange, enchanted boy.....they say he wandered very far, very far over land and sea...." ❤️
-
Jacob said in his interview with Colin and Samir that calling someone a genius is basically giving up trying to understand this person and I feel like that description fits him really well from my perspective. I have enormous admiration for Jacobs work but I just can't kid myself. I will never be able to fully understand his mind.

He’s seems so beyond my realm yet he speaks for me in so many simple ways.
