Djesse Vol. 2 is the third studio album by Jacob Collier and the second album in the Djesse series, released on 19 July 2019. [3] [4] [5] [6] Djesse is a collection of four volumes which was announced 29 October 2018, [7] [8] each describing a different part of the day. [9] It has been suggested that the title Djesse, which is pronounced with a silent D ( /ˈdʒɛsi/), is a reference to Collier's own initials. [10]
The first single from Djesse Vol. 2, "Make Me Cry", was released on 12 April 2019. [2] [3] [11] A 360° music video was released for the single on 16 April 2019. [2] [12] [13] [14] On 26 April 2019, the second single from the volume was released, a cover of the Beatles' " Here Comes the Sun", and was produced in collaboration with Dodie Clark. Collier and Clark directed and also recorded the music video themselves. [12] [13] [15] [16]
The cover of " Moon River" opens with a 144-part choir featuring the voices of famous musicians (including Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Tori Kelly, Chris Martin, Charlie Puth, and Hans Zimmer); [17] Collier's collaborators from Djesse Vol. 1 and Vol. 2; students and professors from Oakwood University and MIT (including the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble); Collier's own immediate family; Collier's studio & live sound engineering and management teams; and June Lee, a YouTuber known for his transcriptions of Collier's work. It also includes roughly 5000 different vocal recordings of Collier, making use of just intonation and of Collier's distinctive microtonal tunings. [4] [6] [18] [19] [20] [21] The track "Moon River" on the album won the Grammy Award for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella in the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards. [22] [23]
The volume features collaborations with Sam Amidon, Dodie Clark, Lianne La Havas, JoJo, MARO, Oumou Sangaré, Becca Stevens, Chris Thile, Kathryn Tickell, and Steve Vai. [2] [4] [12] [13] [14] [18] Collier has been on the Djesse world tour since the release of the first volume. [24] [25] [26]
