Even a cursory listen to Jacob Collier’s new acapella version of Bridge Over Troubled Water should make it clear that there’s ‘a lot going on’, and this has now been confirmed by Collier in a breakdown of the track’s finished Logic Pro session.
To be honest, ‘acapella’ feels like a bit of a misnomer here. Yes, the arrangement of the song was created exclusively with the human voice, but when Collier opens up the session and reveals that “we have a track count of 316’, it becomes apparent that this has more in common with an orchestral piece than a barber shop one.
