Jacob Collier: Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing

I'm not quite sure when I became aware of Jacob Collier and his music but I'm now obsessed! He has been called a "wizardly English singer-songwriter-arranger-producer". – basically, he is a musical genius. Not all of his music works for me, but when it does, wow! Here's the video that made him famous, a cover of Stevie Wonder's Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing. (Quincy Jones called him up immediately after viewing it!) Jacob recorded this at the age of 19 in his room at home. He arranged the music, played all the instruments, and sang all the parts. Just fantastic! If you click to watch this video on the YouTube website, the next song on the YouTube playlist is fun too. It's a cover of All Night Long with the support of Take 6. (Since this first video he has won 4 Grammys.)

Below the video of the Stevie Wonder cover is the video of his Tiny Desk Concert (done at his home). Fantastic as well.

And these are just 2 of many articles that try to explain his musical genius.
