You haven't even heard ANYTHING yet when it comes to Jacob Collier. You HAVE TO react to his a cappella cover of Moon River. Even then you've haven't heard everything he's capable of. Jacob Collier is a musical genius of the highest order. Multi-instrumentalist, top tier jazz musician, perfect pitch prodigy, music theory master, etc. So much you need to react to from Jacob.

Best to react to probably Moon river With the love in my heart All night long And then everything, really, everything else is also insane technically and you can pick emotional favourites depending on taste

Peeph yes love those too! All of his voice only songs started as my least favourite and then, as I became numb/used to the dissonance they have become some of the most fun for to listen to Singing along with justly tunes chords is a weird but great feeling! But... unless someone reacting had a background in singing or writing for choirs (which I also do not idk if I’m using the correct terminology) I doubt they’d get much out of ‘ home is’ apart from it being nice in the beginning then really weird 😂

A noite / lua is literally a masterpiece

He's a prodigy. Plays tons of instruments. Puts on performances all by himself. Loves to play with crazy chords and progressions. You should love anything you find with him involved.

He is one of the most musically talented and skilled people ON THE PLANET!

Ok, get this: Jonathan Morrison uploaded a Mac Pro Review with Andrew Dawson and Jackson Foote producing a song for Wolf on Logic Pro X. They tried to push the Mac to its limits, but they didn't even scratch the surface of what the machine is capable of. Foote said that he usually works with around 100 tracks, which is way more than what he used in that review. Well, for " All I Need" , Jacob broke his personal record on Logic: SIX FREAKING HUNDRED TRACKS. 600! You know what Apple did, just for him? They increased the number of simultaneous tracks available in a session from 250 to 1000. JUST FOR HIM. They said it, it's on record. That's Jacob FREAKING Collier. That guy is in a league of his own and he's only 25. He is a true Beethoven, Mozart and Bach in the making. Oh, and on a side note. Watch "Don't You know". Live session. Jacob Collier and Snarky Puppy. Song composed by Jacob, arranged by him and League. It will leave you shaking.

This is more of his attempt at stuff closer to pop music, love this tune soooo much such a catchy song! Honestly, I’d suggest checking out his cover of All Night Long! He has a lot of other fantastic music but All Night Long is a little more digestible and accessible, on top of being filled to the brim with unbelievable musical talent. Oh and check out Louis Cole btw, his live sessions and big band videos are fantastic.

YOOO Was NOT expecting to see this! Awesome! Reacting to any of his stuff will be a blast, guaranteed

This is Jacob being much more mainstream than normal. Suggest you check out the stuff from Djesse Vol 1/2, and from his first album 'In My Room'. As far as individual song suggestions go - 'Moon River', 'All Night Long', 'With the love in my heart' 'Hajanga', 'You & I' and so much more! Djesse is tehe 4 volume mega album he's writing at the moment, each volume with a different vibe and feel accumulating into what will be 'Djesse'! Have fun with it!

His rendition of "Don't You Worry 'bout A Thing" is what put him on the map. Highly recommended! Also, "Fascinating Rhythm"!

If you think those chords are nasty, you ain't heard NOTHING yet !!

Jacob Collier - grandfather professional violinist, mother violinist and professor at RAM, London. By all accounts his father was also a gifted amateur. Fully exposed to music through his childhood (sat through his mum's violin lessons for example) . Went to the Purcell (music) school and did 2 years of jazz piano study at the RAM before quitting. Also a gold medal winner in his ABMSR singing examinations (bit like winning junior Olympics for singing in the UK) and a multi-instrumentalist. Auto didact for the most part but family hobby is: singing Bach chorales. Bluntly he's well grounded in music through genes and education but has then been given the exposure and space to create himself as he saw fit. And the sum total is a glorious fusion of jazz pop and some classical (his fascination with harmony was partly a result of his exposure to Britten's opera Turn of the Screw). Well, you did ask. Personally I hope he outgrows his current "more like pop" phase and moves into modern classical recasting the field of opera. His skill in vocal harmonics could change musical history in my view.

Did you notice that the second chorus modulates up a quarter-tone?

Jacob Collier is basically a savant musician. Trained from a young age, perfect pitch (to a very high degree of accuracy) but maintains a very healthy level of fun and exploration when it comes to music. He uses these amazing techniques for the purpose of evoking feelings, rather than to just say he's done them. For instance: at 3:30 (of this video ^^) he modulates to B half-flat (or Bb half-sharp as others have put it). And it's so good you don't even notice anything's off.

It's actually only the second chorus, not the first one.

Don't forget to hit up Jacob Collier's NPR Tiny Desk Concert too. A perfect showcase of talent, exquisite audio engineering, and personal-concert-in-your-living-room vibe. (Actually, I've never seen a bad Tiny Desk Concert from *any* artist, but Jacob's is one of my daily plays.)

Jacob Collier is a genius! he's incredibly musical and his intentionality with his music is top-tier. he's going to be looked upon by history as truly revolutionary, he's opening many musical and creative doors into microtonal voice leading, just intonation, wacky rhythms, etc. Truly incredible stuff. Some of his other things to check out are Hideaway, You and I, Moon River, Time Alone With You, Danny Boy, Once You, In My Room, In the Real Early Morning, With the Love in My Heart, In the Bleak Midwinter, and Down the Line. All of his stuff is just great. also, fun fact: this song (All I Need) has 646 tracks. just let that sink in! great video dude, love seeing Jacob becoming more well-known

The last chorus is in E flat half sharp, which is something most people have probably never heard before. Pretty cool

I think it was just E half flat, 50 cents sharper than Eb

Gosh, Jacob always makes me happy but your reaction had me smiling the entire time. There's nothing like seeing a man discover Collier's genius for the first time.

I've watched this reaction of yours several times now and it's just great. Each time I get to vicariously share that delight in discovering Jacob Collier again. So enjoyable, thanks so much.

One of the best reaction videos ever. Witnessing you discovering Jacob was worth its weight in gold.

Aaaaaaaaaaa thank you!!! Please, react more to Jacob collier. He's so music man! He play all instruments ik the music

The second chorus is actually in Bb half sharp lol right in between Bb and B natural

All I can say is go to his KZread channel and watch the “I harm you sessions” to get an idea of what this still very young musical prodigy is capable of. Nothing he makes is explainable in words. Also I subscribed to your channel after watching his new upload and was so blown away, that I immediately wanted to see reactions. Love your voice. Keep up the works

Also fun fact, over 600 logic sessions at one time in this song! And Jacob plays every instrumental on the track

Jacob Collier in one word: J A Z Z

He's more than just jazz. This is a pop song. Albeit with jazz harmony, that sometimes perhaps lingers more on modern classical composeres like Stravinsky or Bartok.

Awesome reaction!! You should really go listen to some of Jacob’s earlier work - he’s won like four Grammy’s and a lot of his work is heavily jazz-inspired and works with huge concepts like microtonality and some insane polyrhythms!

So glad you've been introduced to Jacob - I very much second everyone else's plea to react to Moon River. You'll never be the same.

gotta react to his recent cover of hallelujah. the arrangement + vocals are killer

The surprise element in jacob's music is evident and effective to this guy.

I'm loving your shirt btw

Brad: Yeah, this'll be my first time even reacting to any of Jacob's music. Me: Shit he in for it.

His cover of In My Room gets me every time

I enjoyed your reaction!!! 😂 And defintely had to subscribe!

Well ... out of all songs from Jacob you got the most „casual“ interpretation from him 😂 can’t wait to see you react to moonriver oder one of the old ones 👏🏼

Can't believe you're reacting to Jacob AND home free this is amazing !!

I love your reaction when something cool happens harmonically :)

TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBBBBEEEEEEE

If you think this is amazing you should listen to his cover on the classic Flinstones theme!! It's an older video but it is amazing to listen to. Hopefully you consider this!!

Oh man, I'm a Jacob fan, haha. Nice to see your reaction!

Hes an enigma. No one really can pin point what his style is, even though primarily Jazz (i guess). this is the second single he released from his 4 part Album Series Djesse ( Vol 3). If you wanna attempt to try and understand him watch his Logic Breakdowns and live performances. The guy is literally a machine. I havent heard a bad song or arrangement from him yet

LOL great reaction. you gained a subscriber

The kid has 4 Grammys now and they're each on KZread. The first two he did unassisted at home as a teenager. React to them and weep.

JACOB IS THE MANNNNN

That's the real music

Great reaction mate. You just got a sub :)

He just did a breakdown of the logic session, go see it

The people singing with him are Mahalia some good music by her is What you did featuring Ella Mai and Consistency. The person is Ty Dolla $ign he has a really good feature in Nights Like This by Kehlani.

Honestly, you need to listen to everything of his. Such a talent! You think the background was a 'musical experience', I want to see you react to moon river.

I love your reactions. Originally came for Home Free but have stayed around for your personality and great taste in music. I think you'd enjoy listening to some Sam Robson (one man a capella group) who has some similar influences to Jacob but less jazz. He's got some incredible hymn tune and Disney arrangements and my personal favourites are his Prince of Egypt arrangements.

Honestly the best young musician in the world rn in my opinion

Boy. Moon River next, for sure! Lots of hype in the comments, but when even Quincy Jones and Herbie Hancock think that Jacob is on another level, you know it's true.

All Night Long, Moon River, Time Alone With You are the ones you need to react to the most. Each completely different styles, each genius in their own respects. Time Alone With You is the most similar to this song, both off his upcoming funk-extravaganza album Djesse Vol. 3

Jacob will get R&B Airplay off of this and Time Alone with You. Guaranteed.

He's currently working one a quadruple album that encompasses his "musical taste" as he puts it. So each album is a different genre. I'd check out With the Love in my Heart from Vol 1 and Moon River or Make me cry from Vol 2.

oh i love that intro

Check out Jacobs version of Lionel Richie's "All Night Long"!!

You really should react to All Night Long (feat. Take 6) and With the Love of my Heart next! Jacob's music will literally blow you away!

I think a another great place to start with Jacob is his version of Stevie Wonder's You and I. Won him a grammy and it absolutely kills

I really want people to do more Jacob Collier. Everyone seems to avoid it. Especially his live stuff because he is just an awesome person to watch

Ama-sing!!!

Hes mozart and bach and chopin and stevie wonder reborn. Dude i subscribed to your channel because your reaction was my reaction when i heard it

This song was great for its purpose on his new record coming out, but he has some wayyyyyy crazier stuff to react too! React to “all night long”!

You could also explore some of Mahalia's songs, more like and R&B/Soul vibe

Moon River, Hideaway, You and I, Down the Line, Hajanga, In My Room, Saviour, Woke Up Today, With the Love In My Heart... then listen to every other song of his and all his Logic Breakdowns. Once you're dine with that, you will have finally finished SKIMMING

Jacob is called the jazz prodigy by some, but extremely influential by all. You want to hear some of his extremely unique rearrangements of some popular songs, but he has always been super unique in thinking about harmony. He very frequently uses different tuning systems and microtones, even being able to modulate to half-sharp keys, etc. It's hard to really put into clear description who Jacob is. If you want intricate harmonies, very different arrangements, then pleaseeeee keep listening to Jacob

New sub

hideaway is really good, Saviour is awesome too! Hajanga also, and In My Room!! He's a literal perfect pitch musical genius who also makes semi tonal music

Oh, man! That was just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jacob Collier. Now you need to listen and react to songs such as With the Love of my Heart, Time Alone With You (feat. Daniel Caesar), Running Outta Love (feat. Tori Kelly), his cover of Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing by Stevie Wonder, and especially his #IHarmU series. I'd start with volume 2 of that series since it is a bit shorter. Great reaction!

Check out his old OG videos: Flintstones, Fascinating Rhythm, In the Bleak Midwinter, Saviour

Try "In the Bleak Midwinter" - reasonably pared-down for Jacob, a mutitracked a capella arrangement of a traditional carol, released when he was about 17; Oh, and the tuning shenanigans are sick nasty (A4=448hz to A4= 438hz in steps): see Jun Lee's brilliant transcription of the Collier arrangement; Also worthwhile: listen to some of the other versions of the piece on youtube: James Taylor, King's College Choir of Cambridge, etc.... then listen to Jacob blow your sock off!

Moon River Jacob Collier version

This is the tip of Jacob. Steam Djesse vol 1 and 2

you HAVE to react to moon river

man you should try In my Room then please!

you should react to AJR!!

Mahalia ~ BRB

Watch moon river for a musical experience!

I'll sub if you promise to do more JACOB COLLIERRRRRRRRR he has some real bangers, Especially the live stuff

This song was the "simplify" version of what jacob collier can do. Please, react "You and I" or another single of in my room album by jacob collier and i'm sure you will be more suprisingly ! Cant wait for your react about that one... And another dirty loops songs maybe hahah

React to Demash opera 2 it is amazing to see. Since you said:REACT TO DEMASH OPERA 2 IT IS AMAZING

REACT TO HIDEAWAY - JACOB COLLIER! No more words

Also time alone with you

don’t be pressured, but jacob collier is really awesome and you should listen to more of his stuff :”>

For me, this is quite mainstream for Collier. Doesn't mean that it's bad though! 😁 It's just kind of "normal"... 😂 Personally, I think his version of Moon River is divine! Please wear headphones... 😁

React to all night long - jacob collier.... sorry but u need watch this

I would literally agree to any recommendation here in the comments - every song is worth a listen, and you may get a blast from each and everyone of them… BUT (!) if you want to get an introduction to what his musical abilities are, you may want to start with his live performance of "With the Love in My Heart" in Toronto: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c66Frat9aKS7eLA.html - I promise, you won't regret!! Glad that I found your channel.
