Everything Jacob Collier says and do is utterly boring and primitive. The "complexity", "genius" and "talent" is some kind of projection on him coming from the mentally limited people in his audience. People want to be him, so they attach all those imaginary epithets on him. Then just because he is nice like a manipulative salesman, he can get away with anything. The music sucks bad and is beyond the horizon of hell. The music and the spoken word from Collier sucks like a black hole. But even worse is that his salesman talent is overshadowing everything about and around him. He is even potentially able to sell "assisted suicide" service in Switzerland to the most happy people in his own audience. He is the false prophet more popular than the original prophet, also with the initials JC.

This interview demonstrates that the genius of Jacob does not solely derive from his musical skills or abilities, but rather from his thought process and creative thinking. He exhibits remarkable self-awareness and intelligence, enabling him to deconstruct every complex idea he conveys through his music. It is rare to find someone engaged in such a creative process and capable of articulating it so succinctly.

It's how well he understands himself and how much he loves who is and what he does. To me, that is the single most inspiring thing about him, and it is absolutely electric. That's the inner understanding that I think I am always striving for as a musician.

@MrTimg12 2 ай бұрын
There are many aspects to this of course. He's a baritone which gives his voice a very nice depth & tone. His accent is received pronunciation. An English accent associated with the BBC of yore. He went to a private school in North London and they'd've all largely spoken 'posh'. I think this is another aspect of him just being himself. Having a posh accent can often be derided as being privileged or self entitled for example. That's often why some people affect a different accent, 'mockney' or multicultural London, in order to fit in and be seen to be cool. JC doesn't suffer from such self consciousness and speaks just the way he always did. It's another example of him being just himself and whatever one's accent it's fine.

It is not only for the good fortune of the individual to have a talent such as his to be fostered through a privileged upbringing, but it is such great fortune for the true enrichment of culture. There has definitely also been an element of cultural timing, that he speaks of here, to allow acceptance of such privilege, in a way that avoids the limitations of the typical reverse-snobbery that we can even see in this short comment thread.

He breaks every preconception I have about writing music. Normally I would make an argument that joyful songs are always uninspired, unemotional, and boring because joy isn't a creatively compelling emotion in the way that sadness, anger, longing, resent, regret, etc. are.. For someone like me lyrics and music are therapy so they are turned to in times of need... and in the few instances where Artists have made happy sounding music artistic, the lyrics typically juxtapose the happy music with a dark flare. Think Beatles, Guster, DMB, etc. Yet all of Jacob's music seems to come from a place of Joy and it's extremely inspired, and emotionally compelling. He is truly inspiring.

I love the part about Rick Rubin, Of all the content I've been witness of from Jacob, his speech is rarely confrontational. But, in this moment he has a direct counter opinion of Rick's book which provides a creatively refined outlook. Rick Rubin and Jacob Collier, two people that are creative idols, two people that are about art in it's rawest form, can still have differing outlooks on where that purity is the most refined. Two sides of the same coin. It's quite a beautiful juxtaposition.

I personally think Jacob is misunderstanding Ricks philosophy. Rick doesn't think there is one way to make anything, completely the opposite actually. What he does believe, fervently, is that if your focus while making art is solely on the audience, you will lose your way. Art should have deep meaning to you the creator and secondarily to the consumer.

Jacob really missed the mark here. Rick’s perspective, for anyone interested, is to prompt openness and to question the nature of art itself. Listen to any of his long form talks or the artists who he collaborates with. Jacob was clearly projecting his own stuff onto the text as if Rick assumes himself to be some sort of guru. This is how he is perceived culturally by many who don’t actually investigate or orient themselves to his work.
@cleamusicuk Ай бұрын
I think he felt protective of his own drive to create for others. I could totally see where he was coming from, even though I'm currently enjoying Rick Rubin's book. If you're a creative practitioner and thinker, I can also see how the book may not be as useful to you as you're already living and breathing it. He just basically wants to have like a boxing match with another wonderful artist on the planet, and I can't wait to see that conversation!

THANK YOU for introducing me to Jacob!!! Have been going down a rabbit hole since I listened to the interview and am deeply fascinated and inspired! In every interview I’ve listened to he says something that really lights me up - and his audience choirs are soooooo cool! Can’t wait to attend a concert!

i’ve been a subscriber to you two since middle school and you were mainly posting lacrosse videos! i’m now almost 22 and love the direction you have taken the channel. watching this video made me think about how you used both of your strengths in commentating and questioning to change what you create and it’s paying off well. keep up the good work guys and i love the content.

That's the 2nd comment I've read like this... I can't wait to get to that part... but I don't want to ffwd😮😂. I didn't read any of Rick's books, but I saw a couple interviews... I think I must've missed the problematic stuff, so I'm curious to hear about what Jacob noticed.

i would definitely recommend reading the creative act by rick. i think jacob misunderstood the core message. which is why a long form conversation between the two is so needed. there's alot to uncover@@GizzyDillespee

This was also my first thought. But this is incredibly common in the music industry. Like the Beatles are the music of the boomers but they are all silent generation. It makes sense that the people that are making music that is appealing to the youth are maybe slightly older than those youths themselves

OK, so if Jacob Collier is comparable to the great Mozart, does that mean he surpasses composers like Vivaldi, Chopin, or even Beethoven? I believe you are somewhat mistaken. Jacob Collier is certainly talented, but he is definitely not the only one of his generation; many others are in the shadows and haven't had musician parents.
@jayclarke5466 Ай бұрын
Obviously u have issues with Jacob…yes he s this era s Mozart…he creates music and creates his own vids …did Vivaldi do that? He s an amazing pianist and multi instrumentalist whose vocal arranging skills are incredible…now, are there other amazing musicians today…oh yeah…but he s other worldly

@@cyrilpatouillard9215ultimately his music has no staying power... of course, comparisons to any classical composer are silly because music today is measured by recorded releases, and so far Collier has'nt released any album that people will be falling in love with in 30 years from now. his theoretical knowledge is completely irrelevant to his quality as a musician.

He wasn't a musical servant in 1994 though was he? He is now and we are slap bang in the middle of Generation Zs music, hence "the mozart of Gen Z". It's not claiming he is a part of Gen Z but rather the voice this generation is gravitating towards.
