I’m guessing he helped with the album opener, “Sunrise”, maybe “Church” and not sure what the last would be. Had never heard of him before either... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_escapist Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Chris, yesterday in an interview with Zane Lowe: “I think that a combination of things is happening for us. Not that there hasn’t always been craziness in the world, but it’s so in your face all the time that it can only increase one's gratitude for being able to do this job." "You have to sing what’s coming through and that’s what we’ve done more than ever.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGirlMyra Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 This is kinda shifting gears but I noticed searching up Coldplay's website on Google, the little sentence that tells you what the website is about before you click it seemed to have changed. Now it reads: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. 0 1 2 · · · · · · ·. 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 · · ·. 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 · · ·. 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Not really sure what this means (if anything. I tend to look too far into things). And you guys have probably noticed and decoded it by now. I'm curious what it means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasySuperstition99 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 holy....for people not familiar with jacob collier he’s kind of known in music academia and jazz as somewhat of a genius. his voice is wonderful and his knowledge of music theory is greater than probably 99% on the planet. jacob also has a fantastic handle on pitch and harmony; he has jazzy covers where he sings in the key of g half sharp. this is so exciting to hear that coldplay worked with him! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with Jacob Collier's past work but he does sound like someone Chris would recruit! The interviewer apparently thinks one of the two halves of the double album is supposed to be more experimental than the other? I haven't listened to the Zane Lowe interview so I don't know if Chris has actually said anything about it but I've certainly heard nothing about it. If this is true, then I suppose Sunrise is the experimental half because that's where we're going to find Arabesque. Though the entire album sounds like it should be experimental in some sense. I'm not quite sure what to believe :joy: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcebatofvalikinRRBZ8 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 The three new videos on Coldplay's channel haven't appeared yet on Most Popular. I wonder why they don't appear right away. I assume they will after about 3 to 5 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he’s being coy and can’t name them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRiver Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Just want to echo the words of EasySuperstition up there. For those who don't know Jacob Collier, and I don't say this lightly, he's basically this generation's Mozart. I cannot express enough to you all how much of a genuine, in every sense of the word, genius he is. His knowledge of music is unparalleled, his grasp on harmony is unlike anything I've ever seen, and he knows every scale, in every key, in every mode that has ever existed.... And he can just sing it/play it straight up like it's nothing. I went to see him at the Sydney Opera House a few weeks ago and it is by far the best gig I've ever seen. I'm still processing it. This things that he can do is beyond comprehension. He's not only a multi-instrumentalist, he's a master of all instruments and a truly remarkable composer. I realise I sound like I'm on his PR team hahaha, but trust me, Jacob working on Everyday Life could not be better news. I am now at full, 100% hype. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowCouldIForget Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 It seems Coldplay haven't stopped their collaboration ways...they've just chosen much better artists this time around. Makes all the difference. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your words ring true...for those who don’t quite get the astounding nature of this collaboration, it’s like if the Bee Gees teamed up with Phillip Glass and Miles Davis. Or something to that effect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxwatcher Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq-eZv8xySc View: https://youtu.be/Oq-eZv8xySc This is so exciting! I love Jacob and his music. He is a musical genius and it will be amazing to see his arrangements become a part of Coldplay's sound. For those of you who have never heard of Jacob, definitely check out his music, especially his most recent work "Djesse Vol.2". It has some killer tracks on there, and he explores a wide variety of arrangements and genres. I'm looking forward to seeing their genius at work. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42Escapist Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I'm listening to Jacob Collier's Djesse Vol. 1 album right now... if Coldplay works with someone like this, then I'm all for it. And his style makes me want to hear him collaborate with Thom Yorke as well, haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Blue_Room Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 According to someone on the subreddit there'll be a Japanese deluxe edition with a bonus track called "Flags". 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRiver Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Jacob also created a vocal-harmonizer with Bloomberg. Basically he sings into a mic which runs through a keyboard, and every note he plays on the keyboard is an extra note added to the harmony he's singing. He built this thing from nothing. Maybe it'll make an appearance on Everyday Life? Check out his cover of Blackbird. He uses it masterfully. Just on the Coldplay collaboration, he spoke about bringing that "church sound". I can only assume he's talking about Gospel-style harmonies and jazzy 7th chords. God this album can't come soon enough. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
