Following on from last month’s huge appearance at Glastonbury, UK breakout star Jacob Collier has shared a rocky new single.
The multi-instrumentalist has teamed up with Remi Wolf for the tune, which is called WELLLL and reflects his childhood love of rock as well as combining elements of pop and punk.
“Wellllllll, what can I say?” Jacob shares in a statement. “This song is a collage of catharsis – a convergence of many musical materials I haven’t explored until now.
“It features my custom-designed 5-string electric guitar, made by Strandberg, and harkens back to much of the rock music I loved as a child. It’s a song about being a child, being wild and listening to your heart. I can’t wait for you to hear it.”
