#djesse vol. 3

Fan art for Jacob Collier's second Beatsketch: What's Impossible. For context, in spring of 2020 Jacob released five minute-long "beatsketches" for songs that didn't make the cut into Djesse Vol. 3, which was released later that year. He challenged his followers to basically do what they will with all of the beatsketches. Most people sang/played over or remixed them, but I knew I had to do a drawing of some kind.

Jacob Collier: A Master of Performance

The COVID-19 pandemic created a problem for live-performers as the live-performance platform virtually disappeared for a while. Many artists scheduled 2022 tours and sold pre-sale tickets. Around this time, I had become really interested in the music of Jacob Collier, a now 28 year old music savant. From a young age, Collier was playing most instruments he could get his hands on and played them well. At 17 he began sharing youtube videos of his music, and at 22, he released his first album, In My Room. The album highlights, not only his extensive knowledge of music, but also includes such a dynamic range of songs. Whether soft and slow or fast and busy, Collier moves the listener and their emotions wherever he’d like. For my birthday in 2021 (amidst the pandemic), my girlfriend gifted me pre-sale tickets to see Jacob in May, 2022 touring his newest album Djesse Vol. 3. I went with my best friend, Chase, and we had such a time…

The show was held at Terminal 5, in Manhattan, NY, on May 4th, 2022. After meeting my friend at the port authority bus terminal, we set off for Terminal 5 and caught each other up on our lives… Upon our arrival at the venue, we were greeted by probably hundreds of Collier-loving hipsters- I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a convention of people before. We waited in line to have our tickets scanned and settled into the general-admission audience where we stood amongst the hipsters. After waiting for a while, Jacob emerged and began his performance. If you’ve done any research of Jacob Collier, or if you’ve listened to his music, you probably have an idea of how energetic the guy is, and it’s real! He was jumping around the stage like a monkey, and kept it up for the entire show. He certainly lived up to his expectations in that respect. His energy was also matched by the lights and effects of the show, which only intensified the Collieresqueness of the entire production. 

What’s a Jacob Collier concert without crowd involvement??? He’s known to use the audience as accompaniment during his shows and it really is one of the best parts. As an audience member, not only did I feel involved and connected, but I was amazed to see how he manipulated different sections of the audience to sing different parts of a song. He did this during “I Can’t Make You Love Me” and it is, 100%, one of the most moving parts of the entire show. Closer to the end of the show, Jacob instructed everyone to pull out their phones to take a video of themselves singing an extended “BE” for a video he’s creating, in which thousands of “BE’s” will be glued together into a cohesive piece of music. No doubt, this was one of the coolest ideas I’ve heard, and I’m really excited to see what he makes of it, as I’m sure most Djesse Vol. 3 tour audience members are. 

Jacobs encore was intimate and just as talented as the rest of the concert. The musicians on stage all began "It Don't Matter" in the center of the stage before running back to their respective instruments to move into the meat of the song.

I needn't forget the post-concert! After Jacob's outstanding encore, Earth Wind and Fire's "September" played through the sound system of the venue and the audience wouldn't leave. What was before a collected audience of people there to see Jacob Collier was now a party of people dancing as they (sort of) made their way outside.

That show on May 4th, was probably one of the most sentimental music performances I’ve ever seen, not only because it was a gift from my girlfriend, but also because of the energy and intimate musical space Collier created. It was as if everyone in the audience was connected by a long wire and one of the ends was held by Jacob as he electrified that night's audience-choir. 

Other recordings of the nights performance:

"All I Need"

"Time Alone With You"

ok finally listening to Harry’s House and… Music For a Sushi Restaurant sounds SO much like a Jacob Collier song. If this was on Djesse Vol. 3 it would not seem out of place it’s actually quite disconcerting

Jacob Collier – ‘Djesse Vol. 3’ | Put it away man! This is just embarrassing…

I’ve been a close, if sceptical, follower of Jacob Collier’s for quite some time. Like much of the online music literati (lol), I was once in total awe of the young prodigy, but over the last few years I’ve grown more and more frustrated with the direction in which his career has gone. Having seen the guy live on four occasions (god knows why I kept going), I’ve watched his slow descent into total narcissism. Now, upon the third full length album release of his four-part Djesse project, it seems clear to me that Collier is beyond saving from his own self-indulgence. In fact, with every new social media post, YouTube video, live performance and interview, it has become increasingly apparent that if he ever watched Jurassic Park as a child, Collier must have looked at the competing world views of Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough’s characters and thought “Who is this man trying to limit Richard’s creative genius with all his talk of chaos and self-control?”. Collier has spared no expense putting together his latest record, but it seems he was so preoccupied with whether or not he could that he didn't stop to think if he should.

The trouble begins very early on in Djesse Vol. 3. The first full length song, ‘Count the People’, is a mess of confused ideas, and attention seeking, unpolished rapping from a privileged, North London white boy clearly pandering to a pop music audience that, in all likelihood, will find him as irritating and disingenuous as I do. It’s not necessarily that he’s white, or wealthy that causes me to point out his rapping as messy and insincere, but more the hollowness of the lyrics, strung together only in pursuit of proving that he can rap really quickly to an unconventional rhythmic pattern. To make things worse, the track follows Collier’s word vomit with his attempt at a club anthem, intercut with fragments of totally incongruent musical ideas from EDM screams to a horrifically immersion-breaking banjo run of all things.

Now, there’s nothing wrong at all with eclecticism and freneticism in music if it’s employed thoughtfully and with any semblance of self-control, but Collier seems to just throw anything and everything into his famously massive logic sessions with total careless abandon. ‘Count the People’ is definitely the most offensive example of the polymath’s chuck-it-all-in creative approach, but this process is obnoxiously present in every track on the album. The internet’s great jazz saviour seems pathologically unable to handle the smallest moment of silence. Every slight lull in energy is filled with some shouted interjection, showy bass lick or sampled reference to a moment on a previous album.

Even the tracks that are somewhat compelling suffer at the hands of Collier’s manic personality. Daniel Caesar’s beautifully silky guest vocals on ‘Time Alone With You’ are constantly interrupted by frenzied interjections from Collier in the form of pitched up vocal tics and a frequently inserted chord sequence that the multi-instrumentalist seems to be trying to coin as a signature move. ‘All I Need’ also suffers from this problem, plagued by horrible, popping mouth noises, cringy shouts of “Ohhhh” from Collier at the start of each chorus, and horrific autotuned runs from Ty Dolla $ign. On many occasions, Collier’s need to include every miraculous idea that pops into his head will serve to disrupt a gorgeous vocal feature from the likes of Caesar, Mahalia or Tori Kelly.

There are occasional bright spots on Djesse Vol. 3, namely the serene ‘In Too Deep (feat. Kiana Ledé)’, which succeeds because it strips back all of Collier’s mania in favour of something simpler and more focused. The album’s closing track also has this effect, with a clear goal of bringing the record to a quiet, contemplative conclusion. Unfortunately, these rare moments of planning and forethought are overpowered by a creative impulse to include every little idea lest it disappear into the ether.

I had a conversation with a friend not so long ago about Jacob Collier’s career trajectory and where we wished he had taken it. His recorded output is clear evidence of what he does well, what his limitations are, and what his value is as an influential figure in contemporary music making. I almost wish that Collier had gone into academia, developing new theories in experimental harmony, production techniques and developing new technological concepts like his harmonizer which he uses in live performance. In becoming a major presence in recorded jazz-adjacent popular music and internet music culture, his value is in his fandom and said fandom’s renewed interest in music theory. The art that he has produced, culminating in this bloated Djesse project lacks a clear vision, oversight, genuine collaboration or substance. Jacob Collier is an intriguing phenomenon, but I fear that his well of artistic value has just about run dry.
