Collier has an impressive knowledge of music theory but for me music is about emotion and expression, and I’ve never been able to find much of either in his compositions or performances. Just my 2 cents.
- tasty_freeze 4y agoI'm with you -- I find his dozen layer vocals unenjoyable. However, it can play many instruments really well. Here is a video from a jazz trio rehearsal though that I keep coming back to every few months simply because I enjoy the sausage being made. Keep in mind he was 19 or so at the time.

- medler 4y agoI enjoyed that a lot, thanks. No doubt he’s massively talented. I do wonder if, just as it takes a certain amount of education to appreciate classical music, there might simply be a certain education or ear required to appreciate Jacob Collier that I lack.
