Long time readers know I’m a big fan of Jacob Collier. My opinion, and my bet, is that he’ll go down in history as more than a generational talent. He’s breaking rules and creating music that no one has imagined or dreamed of before, and even the best musicians are stumped by how his creations work.
Okay, enough. What I’m here to say is his most recent single is an effortlessly delivered tapestry of intricate sound. It reminds me of the feeling of swimming in a calm, clear, crystal-blue bay. Tranquil on the surface, but filled with immense depth when you look below the surface.
Don’t listen to Little Blue whilst you’re doing something else. Pull out some headphones, and listen with intention. I’m sure it’ll move you too.
