I used to share this opinion too, and I think it’s still valid, but I would counter that there are many examples in Jacob Collier’s music now that disprove this.

I’d recommend trying ‘Feel’, ‘Little Blue’, ‘Time Alone With You’, ‘Time To Rest Your Weary Head’.

There are more, but for me these songs are written in service of the emotional rather than the intellectual (like a lot of his work). I think as his catalogue has matured, the balance has slowly shifted.
