New York, NY (Top40 Charts) British multi-instrumentalist and singer Jacob Collier's non-stop musical evolution continues with the release of latest single "WELLLL", an anthemic, guitar-driven ode to intuition. Although not unexpected given the 28-year-old Londoner's expansive, boundary-pushing journey to date, "WELLLL" once again finds Collier making a musical handbrake turn and speeding into unchartered sonic territory with its feverish blend of rock, pop and post-punk. Co-written with US singer-songwriter Remi Wolf, who also contributes backing vocals, the track is released on Friday July 14th via Hajanga Records/Decca/Interscope/Universal
Music Canada.
"WELLLL", which Collier debuted at Glastonbury Festival, is his first single since last year's Grammy-nominated ballad "
Never Gonna Be Alone" featuring
John Mayer and
Lizzy McAlpine and is released to coincide with the announcement of a collaboration with famed global footwear brand Crocs. A long-time Crocs stan, Collier has designed his very own limited edition Clog, which is the first ever style that invites wearers to make music, featuring a bell detail attached on the back strap.
Jacob Collier: "Wellllllll, what can I say? 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."
Collier's career continues to hit stratospheric heights and in the last twelve months alone he has seen his audience choir videos garner hundreds of millions of views, he was the first ever male to be featured as a Vogue Darling, he co-wrote and performed on no less than seven tracks of Stormzy's landmark 2022 album This Is What I Mean, performed as the 5th member of
Coldplay on three of their four nights at Wembley Stadium, and embarked on his own 70-date world tour, which included two sold out shows at 5000-capacity Brixton Academy and is currently making its way across
Europe and the US (including a headline show at the famed Hollywood Bowl in September).
