November 22, 2024 - - Jacob Collier has released Three Christmas Songs - An Abbey Road Live-To-Vinyl Cut today, a new EP of holiday music that was recorded live in a single take at the legendary Abbey Road Studio 2.  The recording was cut live to vinyl, and Collier is joined by a chorus of fans and friends.  He also filmed the recording, and it’s being released today as a corresponding film, watch here: https://youtu.be/ojQI3clg40o?si=G6xc0o7O9cAQxBBA 

It’s been a tremendous November for Collier: just two weeks ago his album Djesse - Volume 4 earned him his second consecutive Album of the Year GRAMMY nomination.  The six-time GRAMMY winner earned two additional nominations for the album (Best Global Music Performance and Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella), making him a 15-time nominee.  

Says Collier, on Three Christmas Songs: 

As somebody with a deep love for Christmas, it was a proper joy to have this opportunity to record three of my favourite festive songs live-to-vinyl, in Abbey Road’s iconic Studio 2.  A last minute call-out to friends and fans resulted in a gathering of people from many walks of life, befriending one another and singing together, for a one-take festive experience. It was our first take - recorded in continuum, with no pauses - what you can hear on the record is exactly as it came out. My hope is that it sparks some joy, and conjures some Christmas spirit at its gentlest, most communal, and most twinkling.  

A few days after his epic Djesse World Tour homecoming finale takes place at London’s O2 on December 9, Collier will perform an intimate festive solo show at Union Chapel in London on December 12 to ring in the holiday season.  Collier sold over 200,000 tickets on his tour this year, which stretched across the globe and included historic venues including sold out concerts at Radio City Music Hall and The Greek Theater.
