It has a vibe.
So I went to Spotify and tried some of their music, dang, 80's were definitely some kinda feel.
First time ever hearing this song. I would never have believed that the lead singer looked the way they did. This is definitely ready for a remix.

IMO they're a perfect mix of rock, blues, R&B, soul, and a few other styles.
Here's a taste, probably my favourite song of theirs:
Also, as you might expect from a band like that, they're fantastic in concert.

Gonna post another jacob collier link. This was the video he made 10 years ago that went viral and was the catalyst for quincy Jones signing him. Kid wonder has won 4 Grammys since and I think his new record is poised to break thru to a wider audience featuring kirk Franklin's choir, John Mayer, herbie Hancock and others.
But this video covering stevie wonders "don't u worry about a thing" is what kicked off his career.
Dude's vocal harmonies are out of this world. He's also currently teaching a music theory class at MIT which can be viewed on youtube.
Kid is a virtuoso on every imaginable instrument including one's that he invents and builds himself lol.

There's no question that Collier is a musical genius. But ... Stevie Wonder and Prince wrote great songs many (many) of which were hits. Stevie ruled the 70s, and Prince the 80s (and I would argue pumped out his best stuff in the 90s - e.g. Diamonds and Pearls). Prince especially was amazing on all the instruments. Stevie was a great drummer and of course keyboardist.
I've checked out Collier. I've watched his Tiny Desk appearance. I'm extremely impressed, not just with his musicianship but his innate spirituality. But where are the songs that capture the world's imagination? He's not even a one hit wonder. He's 29 now. Too old to be a prodigy. I just don't see the jawdrop upside potential in the "kid". He's pretty much a better version of Chris Boucher at this point.

I love Prince but he's not seeing Jacob on ANY instrument and it's not particularly close.
I viewed an interview with Hans Zimmer on youtube a couple weeks ago where he was saying that what Jacob is doing with harmony is singular and unique.
He performed on Jimmy kimmel last week and it was pretty dope. Gospel tune that he did with kirk Franklin - first single off the new album.
