My favorite moment of watching someone discover Jacob is the “moment” when your brain breaks and you have a singular and unexplainable emotional response to what you are experiencing. I could see this song doing that for you. Welcome to the other side. The journey of discovery that is awaiting you is fun.
You asked how many people were involved. I've had the same question, so I counted. Looking at the credits, I get 130 musicians plus 3 remote camera/videographers = 133, ① ignoring those people in the New Orleans street, and the audience he 'conducted'. Best Wishes for a Happy, Healthy, Peaceful New Year. ☮ ① Credits: Acapelle group Take Six 6, METROPOLE ORKEST 69, AEOLIANS OF OAKWOOD UNIVERSITY choir 45, Moroccan Gnawa 5, Electric Bass 1, chord signs 2, additional orchestration 1, Jacob Collier. Chords signs: Quincy Jones, his manager, and Steve Vai.
In case you didn't know yet, this is one of the 5 songs that have each won him a Grammy for best arrangement 😊 'Moon River' is another one... Then 'You & I', 'The Flintstones', and 'He Won't Hold You'. I've subscribed so I won't miss your reactions 😉
You and I is the most beautiful harmonic arrangement I’ve ever heard. The chords he uses in it are just beautiful. Even the dissonant ones. I’ve probably listened to it 1000 times and still notice new things
Love your ‘real time experience’ you have every right to be (joyously) overwhelmed. True appreciators go through similar emotional rides. He is a genius. That word is one I don’t throw around but if the ‘harmonic sandals fit… If you wish to be put onto another amazing phase of Jacobs creative wonderment, Moon River is for You. Have 911 on speed dial. Just subbed. Lets keep this ride going. :)
Wonderful reaction/review. I've listened to this song so many times and am still finding new things to marvel at.You've got my sub and I look forward to your deep dive into Jacob. Great stuff.
Most people are like me, "not a musician". Then there's people like you, "a musician". And then there's Jacob Collier, "Not a human." Here's a fun one that Jacob did for Samsung back in 2017. It shows some more of his mastery of many instruments. ruclips.net/video/Jx4nBIiLy_0/видео.html
When you are done with Jacob Collier which could last a while I would consider looking for Snarky Puppy - Lingus or Dirty Loops - Thriller. And if you wanna hear the best voice of the world begin with Dimash Kudaibergen - SOS from 5 years ago, you can then work up to his latest song from there.
Welcome to Jacob's world! Check out his live stream breakdown of the logic session for this song. You will NOT BELIEVE IT! ruclips.net/video/UAMc4K_NXsA/видео.html

Love watching Take 6 colab with Jacob!
Isn't it just wonderful to know people like Jacob are on the same planet with us? :)
Quincy Jones was the first "chord sign holder". Steve Vai was the second one.
Let’s not forget that Jacob arranged the entire orchestral part. Dude basically wrote a symphony for a Lionel Richie song
How many instruments Jacob play?
Jacob: Yes

I was waiting for you to pause and have to stand up! Jacob has that effect. Loved your reaction can't wait for more
That's Quincy Jones holding the card for those chord progressions.

Dirty Loops is my favorite band of all time!
