he is clearly deliriously in love with music and it's a delight to watch him be deliriously in love with music but the actual music he actually makes is... bloodless? it's like an angel wrote it and not a man

anyone wanna listen to this and tell me if jacob collier singing this song about how nice it is to fuck sounds like he's ever fucked before
i don't mean this as an insult, ethereal beings made of music are probably too busy to fuck but like

His music feels like an exercise in showing how brilliant Jacob Collier is and not music to be engaged with

I think that’s a very judgemental take of someone you don’t know at all

I've had the same thought but it came out as 'he should get an std or something'.
It's like a perfectly cleaned house, yes it's good but I don't trust it.

yeah no lived pain means his songs about hurt can only be so real
but when he works with others, hooooo
pop music is about to get jazzy

I've definitely thought that about the lyrics. I felt like I should really like it because it is definitely "high quality" but the emotional message didn't move me.

dammit
actually tho reading the rest of the bio it doesn't seem like he was that sad about it; he moved in with his older bro who taught him music & sent him to fancy prep school

Listen to any of the Chaconne, Ich Ruf Zu Dir, or the Fugue No. 8 E flat minor of the Well-Tempered Clavier and you'll find something like dignified suffering.
