If John and or Paul have written Here Comes The Sun. It would have sounded like this.

jesus christ this is awful
first time hearing/seeing this dude
all his music just feels as if it has no idea where it's going and just meanders about whatever theory idea he can flex for 20-30 seconds
he wants to be like the avey tare of rule followers
Is there a bobs burgers reference in this?
I'm not someone who believes that being a theoryfag means you write soulless music, but this guy really isn't helping the case.
I hope you music schoolers don't seriously do this.
so this is what the white people left in london are up to.
twats
holy hell that was awful
woah...so this, is the power of theory
>Does a cover
>Main elements the songs are still there
>Complicate a simple song because MUH THEORY
It's like he's trying to be Captain Beefheart but didn't remember the fact that Captain Beefheart knew jackshit about theory and went with his instincts
every single one of his music videos is "look guys i can play all these fucking instruments look at me ignore the music look how fast and offbeat (but actually on beat... think about it) im playing)"
man the video is so aesthetically off putting too. I mean I appreciate that he’s at least not arrogant but man does he have an annoying brand
Why do people like Jacob's voice?? It sounds goofy as hell to me. It reminds me of one of the singers from the band Wild Beasts. But Jacob's is higher and doesn't balance out with other voices like that singer's voice does.
his videos are, like, mostly a large number of Jacob Colliers doing shit...it reads like massive narcissism to me and is extremely off-putting...
>ornamentation bad
Music video for John Green reading, ukulele playing, Harry Potter fanfic writing, Doctor Who watching, 'I have a Deathly Hallows tattoo on my forearm and occasionally make videos about mental health' ass middle class British kids
>Everybody near and far
>Sing that rainbow all night long
Jesus Christ that lyric is awful.
god i hate brits so fucking much
I know so many people like this
He's not white, he's a hapa with an asian mother and white father which explains his weirdness.
>THAT royalty free ukulele backing track starts playing

This version is the definition of cringe
He has theory chops, but he can't write a song. He plays many instruments, but none of them at a high level. Somehow he manages to cram a ton of frivolous bullshit into these little pop covers, and it always totally derails the piece. He turns pop music into soulless academic exercises that are more concerned with flexing theory than actually making a decent tune, which is what theory ought to be about anyway. His knowledge of theory is not the problem; it's his indulgence in theory for its own sake. This guy has a habit of letting his pretension get in the way of the music itself; if he ever outgrows that he could do something great, but we'll just have to see.
>Today I’d like to talk about some of the stigmas western culture still holds about depression
There is a reason why Adam Neely secretly masturbates to this tasteful tunes while composing his own empty songs
this is what it would sound like if a robot could make music
If this guy is such a genius why does he do literally nothing but covers of how Stevie Wonder would sound covering other artists?
Why does he dress like retard and sing in that awkward voice?
>soulless academic exercises that are more concerned with flexing theory
These are really fun though as a musician. It's fucking worthless to put in a song unless it adds an emotional characteristic. Polyrhythms, polyphony, serialism and other academic-type composition devices are fun to play around with. Releasing an album with stuff like that on it pure dick measuring and posturing though, unless it's important to give the song a certain feeling. This faggot thinks of the idea's first and the emotions second; it results in music which is, dare I say, emotionally dishonest.
His voice is retarded, is he pretending to have a slur or something?
Bruh
>it's another Yea Forums seethes with jealousy at le ebin a capella man

All meming aside, this guy is lgit on the spectrum right? Like can he carry on a normal conversation with another human being?
