The third album in {|Jacob Collier|}'s ambitious Djesse series, 2020's {|Djesse, Vol. 3|} finds the acclaimed British singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist exploring a vibrant mix of contemporary R&B, vintage-inspired funk, and hip-hop, all woven together by his kaleidoscopic electronic-based production. The set follows {|Collier|}'s previous Djesse albums and again features a bevy of guest artists. This time out, he joins forces with {|Jessie Reyez|} and {|T-Pain|} on the kinetic Count the People, {|Mahalia|} and {|Ty Dolla $ign|} on the lushly emotive All I Need, and {|Tori Kelly|} on the swaggeringly soulful Running Outta Love. We also get equally compelling contributions by {|Kimbra|}, {|Daniel Caesar|}, and {|Kiana Lede|}. These are all gorgeously rendered songs that again underline {|Collier|}'s reputation as a pop virtuoso, ably bringing together his love of '70s soul, jazz, EDM, and hooky pop. ~ Matt Collar Less
