Voice Teacher Analyzes JACOB COLLIER & TORI KELLY recording BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS

[@poopybutt29]

Yes, she is the only person in the world that can do this. I am so glad Jacob said it out loud.

[@furstnaymelassnaim9206]

You must not listen to a lot of gospel, because a lot of them already and have been doing that for years and years. Glad to see it being welcomed and appreciated on a mainstream level.

[@crowing3886]

Stop it lol.

[@furstnaymelassnaim9206]

@Gracias-lz5pq lmao. Sure.

[@furstnaymelassnaim9206]

@Gracias-lz5pq my friend, I think it is you who needs to open your eyes. All you know are contemporary pop artists. Shame.

[@Iamborntopraise]

I would have to listen to those runs a couple hundred times before attempting to try it.

[@jacobparker1105]

I’ve been singing for quite a long time. I got one of them first time, the rest of them… yeah right 😂

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I like the prompting and examples that Jacob kept providing. Tori is an exceptionally talented singer. Her range is impressive.

[@TheAirynDolce]

I would love for him to do a call and repeat with the Clark Sisters!!😂🙌🏾😍

[@monicarenee7949]

When I first heard her runs I was like what the hell who could even think of this stuff?? Makes sense it was him lol and she was the perfect person to accomplish it

[@KaissaDoumbeMoulongo]

I love You brother @Jaron. Your channels is the bomb

[@tylerhackner9731]

musical geniuses at work

[@rubencavalcante1419]

A direção e criatividade do Jacob são incríveis

[@katiawaleria9327]

Great 😃 🎶💖

[@NikiNak903]

Jacob has an amazing ear. Leandria Johnson has that type of ear. They can find notes and bring them to the top that you didn’t even hear. 😅

[@noahc3583]

Wild to me how little acoustic treatment there is in the room. You can hear room echo in the video but not on the song.

[@DewyMoss]

I bet everybody in this comment section can sing their butts off...

Da dude is literally a betta singer

[@FreshSongs-AND-SOON-Politics]

I love the performance spirit in her voice! That's the best way I can describe what I love about her ❤

[@deejazzdancer]

But why unnecessarily overdo runs like this in such a classic beautiful song 😮🙄🤷

[@Par1s]

Someone brave enough to ask the real questions that need to be answered...

[@jlklai98]

Cuz that's what they wanted to do. I don't think it's unnecessary if that's the style they're playing around with. The classic and beautiful song is still there to listen to and appreciate, but it's also super cool to see other renditions, even if it's unorthodox

[@tennistaekwondopiano]

The entire rendition is, both harmonically and melodically, about tension and release - the runs contrast with the simplicity of Tori's entry on the song which is soft and gentle, and occur during the harmonic climax of the song which has maximal tension - all to then resolve with the harmonic resolution and melodic sustain at the end The cover that this was based on (Yebba) featured many runs, and Jacob himself said for John Legend's part that he originally recorded a run-heavy gospel-style recording, which Jacob then asked him to re-record as if he was singing to a child. You'll hear in John's verse, it starts off simply, and then builds in complexity and tension before releasing again. Each of the verses starts simply, builds into a tense, harmonically dense climax with runs galore, and then resolves. In the case of Tori, the resolution is the grand end of the song Hope that helps - obviously it's all taste, so if it's not your thing that's fine, but I think that this concept of tension and release is so key to Jacob's music, and part of what I personally love about it
