Jacob said he put in 5292 overall vocal tracks to create this master vocal symphony! Asked 144 of his friends to sing “MOON” in b-flat in the starting part of the song ! These friends are Chris Martin, Charlie Puth, David Crosby, Quincy Jones, Hans Zimmer, and many more!! This piece has such a deep musical meaning that it requires a whole process to register it in your mind ! He is a genius

Charlie puth makes shit music

Did you notice the microtonal shift in the "Huckleberry friend, waiting 'round the bend" section, from 13:44 - 14:08 "? It's not an engineering trick. Jacob literally sings these changes without the aid of any pitch correction technology. If you search his videos, he reveals why and how he does it. He has taught me so much about harmony and intonation and how even a subtle pitch shift can change the impact of the music. Jacob is also blessed with having perfect pitch and can identify just about any note or sound in his environment and then immediately sing it - bang on! To the cent!

He also won for: -Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals for his cover of All Night Long in 2020. -Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Capella for You And I in 2017 -Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals for Flintstones in 2017.

I love how if you listen closely to that long note you pointed out at the end you can hear it slowly rising in pitch as he gradually changes tuning back to standard from whatever just intonation craziness he was up to before.

Great reaction and analysis! The more I see of him the more I just see the ultimate, almost frightening combination of unparalleled genius and crazy hard work. When I think about the totality of what he will have achieved by the age of 50, he seems like he’s going to be the greatest musician/composer/producer/theorist of all time (if he isn’t already).

I haven't listened to it once without shedding a tear or two. It is painfully beautiful, if that makes any sense.

Sometimes, I love having almost no knowledge of how harmony works, because I can listen to these songs as musical masterworks instead of trying to analyse them.

I think Jacob came to the world to show us new frontiers on how to make music and touch peoples heart through music.

His arrangement of Here Comes the Sun is AMAZING

You should see him show how he records a song! He thinks up these super complex harmonies at the speed of light and it’s a marvel to watch just How endlessly creative he is!

Making this song in one week ! … can record chords in no time … there is an example how he works on this song from start to finish … he is very special, brings people together … it’s magical

He does well blending "live" vocal with the harmonizer backing. The harmonizer is good for creating the vocal dissonances with the keyboard that otherwise would be very difficult to sing only with multi tracking. Creativity through the roof.

It's so weird hearing it pitched down!

Jacob’s genius is in his arranging and voicing. Quincy Jones and Herbie Hancock call him this generation’s jazz messiah. His voicing and personal style are totally unique. He is a genius just like Bach, Duke Ellington, Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga and the like. Plus he sings so well. A true trail blazer.

Girl... I feel you... he blew my mind, made me cry... a blessing!

This was a delightful reaction video to a brilliant song treatment. I've listened to Jacob's stuff for a few years now so it was really enjoyable to experience this along with you for the first time again. Thank you.

You'r honesty around 8:50 is sweet

You need to see him live! We saw him in Montreux, it was out of this World!

I love these reactions to this song when done by singers and songwriters. Passionate people that allow themselves to go on the journey and don't jump into the nuts and bolts of the production. It is technically amazing but, this is not a editing display, it's MUSIC! Get all the feelings.

I hardly tear up at just listening a piece of music. And then I saw your reaction to Jacob's music. WOW!!!!!!! The presentation was exceptionally great and your were too. Cheers.

This is still my default go-to fix for Collier magic.....such an unbalanted outpouring of sublime genius and musical joy....an absolute phenomenon!.

and.... that's how you fall in love ladies and gentlemen!

Best part of the piece is his face. He is an artist having fun with it every second and it shows. Big time. Inspiring.

He is indeed a musical genius.

Beautiful and heartfelt reaction. You've done two covers, Hallelujah with just one voice and piano, and Moonriver a vocal arrangement extravaganza. I'd suggest the extremely emotional song that is a Jacob original next; In the Real Early Morning. He wrote and arranged this for orchestra and this is a live performance that will bring tears to your eyes. The lyrics, vocal delivery, and arrangement, all are married together for one breathtaking and emotional experience: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gXqKuLSydquXptY.html It's been two years, time for another Jacob reaction. And there is a good chance it will help grow your channel. Fun fact, the first four voices, and faces in the Moonriver video, are Jacob, Jacob's mom, Jacob's two sisters. Cheers

The channel Listening in gives an 8 minute crash course on Jakob’s use of microtonal music, really interesting for the curious who do not immediately pick up what amazing stuff he does to keep the harmonics sound good throughout the songs.

As amazing as his arrangement skills is his execution. Perfect.

Thanks for doing my suggestion...just subscribed! He just released a new single (this one's very gospel) that I think you would love and should react to! It's called "He Won't Hold You"--and it's about the feeling of loneliness. Great video!

Nya Crea thank you so much! I literally watched it again today. There is something so captivating about this song to me. It’s made me laugh, cry and vibe all in a single song. Jacob Collier is the most Musically talented artist of our time. There’s simply no other way of putting it. He is able to use his perfect pitch to sing harmonically in a way that nobody else can. Another thing that I highly recommend watching is the video about moon river by a channel called “listening in” they breakdown his song and explain the way Jacob modulates into so many keys through out moon river. (I think there’s like 12 keys or something lol). Long story short is that Jacob Collier is truly a master at this art. I am captivated by this song in all its complexity. I first listened to it about 7 or 8 months ago and I haven’t gone a span of more than a week without listening to it. Hundreds and hundreds of listens and I’m not sick of it rather I hear something new each time. This song has taught me a lot about music theory and the complexity thereof but also of more simple things like how to create from an honest place and things about life. I am in debt to Jacob for this master piece of art
