Jacob Collier shares 'Over You', featuring aespa & Coldplay's Chris Martin, taken from his recently released album Djesse Vol. 4.
What first began as an ambitious idea to make one massive album erupted into an epic and unparalleled four-part series that for the past seven years has encompassed every genre under the sun. It culminates in a grand finale, with the final installment out now. Spanning 53 songs and nearly 50 guest artists, a GRAMMY Album of the Year nomination for Vol. 3 and three GRAMMY wins, plus hundreds of musicians and orchestra members that represent sounds from nearly every corner of the globe – Djesse is an impressive feat from Collier, deemed “the colorful Mozart of Gen-Z” by the New York Times, and one of the moment’s most in-demand forces of creativity.
Djesse Vol. 4 features a star-studded ensemble and Collier has released a number of singles and music videos: ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ (feat. John Legend & Tori Kelly) Camilo, ‘Witness Me’ feat. Shawn Mendes, Stormzy & Kirk Franklin, ‘Wherever I Go’ feat. Michael McDonald & Lawrence, “Little Blue’ feat. Brandi Carlile, ‘Never Gonna Be Alone’ feat. John Mayer & Lizzy McAlpine, and a co-write with Remi Wolf.

The album also features Chris Martin & aespa – on the aforementioned ‘Over You’ – Madison Cunningham, Chris Thile, Yelle, CHIKA, Anoushka Shankar, The Aeolians 2018 Choir, Lindsey Lomis and his mother Suzie Collier The connective thread and beating heart is a collective “Audience Choir” of 150,000 fans’ voices, which Collier recorded in every corner of the world across his last two years of touring.
Djesse has explored and expanded Collier’s wildest creative dreams, and while it features a host of collaborators, this project was recorded, produced and performed by him. A Herculean effort that Collier has dedicated the past several years to, it was crafted in his famed home studio in London, and on the road while criss-crossing the globe. While his music is proudly unclassifiable, Collier enters a distinct sonic universe with each volume. The saga ends with the incandescent combination of narrative arcs, alchemizing a full spectrum of emotion into a massive, joyous moment of awakening and human potential.
