How is it possible that a fan like you has missed until now the encounter of the two most adorable singers ever : Aurora and Wu Qing Feng ? Their duet, "Storm", was a major event two years ago, and Qing Feng declared that Aurora was number one on his list of favorite singers (and Qing Feng is not the type to lie). He thus left behind, for a time, the warm softness of Taiwan to brave the Norwegian blizzard in order to sing with this young woman, fifteen years his junior. The song is beautiful, and their duet is a true gem.

What makes you think I missed it? :) It was a very nice duet. You did not get to see my video reaction to "Storm" because it was blocked.

Jacob Collier is sometimes called the Mozart of Generation Z but that's too limiting since I've never seen this level of genius at any time in the last 60 years of any generation. Quincy Jones and Jan Hammer agree on that. He plays over 20 instruments, many quite expertly and has huge and insanely precise vocal range that includes singing micro-tonally when he wants. What he's really great at is harmonic composition so that even something like his version of silly things like The Flintstones won on of his 6 Grammys so far. His Mahogany sessions versions show the softer acoustic side (piano and guitar) like this song but his solos, his multi-layered a cappella by himself or with his band, or collaborators, or choirs, or big bands, or orchestras or audience choirs. Any of these would begin to show you his range in covers and originals: Moon River, All Night Long, Don't You Know (with Snarky Puppy), Bridge Over Trouble Waters, Hideaway, Little Blue (Mahogany), World O World, Make Me Cry, All I Need. Seeing him live leading the audience was transformative and easily the best concert I've seen in many decades. He started as a jazz wunderkind but in DC he even did a Bach duet with his violinist mother and the NSO. Here's the first song I saw from him, where he edited the video, too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKTToox9r5KNZ9U

Oh super cute react. Please discover more to Jacob. If Aurora is the elf of nature, Jacob is an "farfadet" of the musique. It's beautiful to see them together.

Also, to give you a sense of his multi-genre range and the way he does very different multiple versions of his own songs (fast, slow, live, studio, in concert), here's the original version of "A Rock Somewhere" which was one my faves on the DJesseee Vol 4 album: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5Kvop6bgN1rZ5Y&pp=ygUeamFjb2IgY29sbGllciBhIHJvY2sgc29tZXdoZXJl
