Jacob Collier ft: Shawn Mendes + Stormzy - Witness Me (Official Video)
Jacob Collier has released “Witness Me,” featuring Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes, British rap titan Stormzy, and 19-time Grammy-winning gospel legend Kirk Franklin. “Witness Me” is the resplendent newest single from his forthcoming album Djesse Vol. 4. The final instalment of Collier’s epic and expansive self-produced Djesse series, Vol. 4 will be released February 29 via Hajanga / Decca / Interscope. “Witness Me” is a transformative, rousing gospel-inspired anthem, a collision of four distinct music worlds, all within Collier’s singular style. Featuring a cast of musical heavyweights such as only Collier could assemble, the song celebrates the radical power of empathy.
A central pillar to Djesse Vol. 4 is Collier’s inimitable celebration of the human voice. Across hundreds of shows on his World Tours in the last two years, Collier has led “Audience Choirs,” conducting countless fans singing together in harmony. He’s captured these powerful moments and incorporated hundreds of thousands of audience members into the songs of Djesse Vol. 4. “Witness Me” features 5,000+ of these fans singing together, which bolster the magic of Kirk Franklin and his singers, an iconic sound which has graced hundreds of Kirk’s legendary gospel recordings of the last three decades.
