Get ready to watch one of the most magical festive performances you will have seen in a long time. This is Jacob Collier recording his new Christmas EP in just ONE take at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, and the result is a mind-blowingly perfect performance that really brings the warm and festive vibes.
The performance is absolutely magical right from the very start, with Jacob showcasing his jaw-dropping piano talents and silky smooth voice on ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’. He then moves on to guitar for a sparkling take on the Christmas classic ‘Winter Wonderland’, and finally back to piano for ‘Silent Night’. Each rendition sounds stunning, and the performance will leave you wondering how one man can be so multi-talented!
Joining Jacob in the studio is a mixed-gender choir, whose angelic voices lift the performance from a simple musical rendition to something truly transcendent. Great care has obviously been taken to make the recording studio itself look Christmassy too, with lots of beautiful Christmas trees dotted around, along with warm, glowing fairy lights and plenty of presents and fake snow!
Those ardent Jacob Collier fans among you will no doubt remember this video too, which showcases one of Jacob’s earlier Christmas recordings. Performing ‘The Christmas Song,’ this track is based chiefly on Jacob’s instantly recognizable vocals, with the rich, multilayered harmonies he creates dominating this sparkling festive rendition, wrapping it up in nostalgia and seriously cozy vibes.
