iv. COLLIER, Jacob (1994- )
Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing (Stevie Wonder) (2013)
Jacob Collier, all vocals and instruments
(6:07)
One of the first videos to pop up and blow people's minds was this Stevie Wonder classic. There is -- and never has been -- anyone like Jacob Collier in the history of music.
A child prodigy who taught himself how to play virtually every musical instrument (with the possible exception of the higher strings (he plays upright bass incredibly well) and brass [although I wouldn't be surprised]), this video begins with Jacob singing six-part harmony, his cute 18-year-old face popping out of six different quadrants of the screen. (his bass voice in bottom center and top soprano voice is top center.)
He has often spoken about his admiration for Wonder, and here he composes an arrangement which is unique and awesome.
