Djesse Vol. 1

Djesse Vol. 1 is the second studio album by Jacob Collier and the first album in the Djesse series, released on 7 December 2018. The album features the Metropole Orkest. Djesse is a collection of four volumes which was announced 29 October 2018. Each record represents a different part of the day, with the first record describing daybreak. The title Djesse is a reference to Collier's own initials. Djesse with a silent D sounds like JC. The songs in this volume feature numerous styles, and reviewers have drawn parallels to such composers and musicians as Stravinsky and J Dilla. The third track, "With the Love in My Heart", was released 2 November 2018 as a single, in anticipation of the album's release. Two further singles, "Ocean Wide, Canyon Deep" and "All Night Long", were released on 29 November. The volume features collaborations with Voces8, Laura Mvula, Hamid El Kasri, Take 6, and Collier's mother, Suzie Collier. The Metropole Orkest is featured heavily throughout the record, appearing on every track other than "Home Is". Collier produced, arranged and orchestrated the music himself. The album was number one on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz chart.
