How could you have known what steps I wrote about. Maybe genius follows even what's written about Jacob Collier. On the day that you were born the Angles got together and God decided to create another dream come true. Please pass the tender young age of 33. WHAT a truly violent age for him to be born in, but maybe, just maybe his music could change the EVIL HEARTS OF MANKIND. Pray on this...it could work.!!!

Every now & then the spirit dimension spits out a Jacob Collier. If it didn't there would be a rip in the space time continuum. Like in the star wars saga there are others, but it's Jacobs time at the present. Yessir!!! 👍

[@fkeyzuwu]

@@quentinsorrentino9857 Basically he is very good at music, can sing really precisly even notes that are a single few hz apart(not normal western music notes) He has insane knowledge of music theory and can apply it to get these harmonies. You dont have to know what all he does works but if you are already used to hearing more complex music his music probably blows that out the water, atleast in terms of raw harmony. Im pretty sure not a lot of people actually like him for understanding what it is but for just it being different and impressive. Its not that easy to create all these with barely even having a refrence

I've been getting wind of Jacob Collier for about a year now, and really didn't get him, as I am not a jazz head, but those harmonizations are AMAZING!!! I think I am getting it -- however I'll point out to people whose only exposure to music is your standard pop that a lot of what JC does is try to apply as much music theory as possible and take the music as far as it can possibly go. Additionally what I like about him is that there a lot of videos where he will explain what he does -- like a magician explaining the trick -- though like Einstein, even though he will explain it you may not always get it right off. Great video bruh!
