The ever-productive Jacob Collier has not rested after Djesse Vol. 4. This Friday, October 10th, the seven-time GRAMMY® winner is back with The Light For Days via Hajanga/Interscope/Decca, a stripped-down, guitar-centric record that trades the sprawling ambition of Djesse for something rawer, scrappier, and closer to the bone.

The latest single, “Heaven (Butterflies)”, drops alongside a video shot in Costa Rica. The video is beautifully shot, and its stripped-down nature does a fine job of representing what's behind the new direction of this new effort from Collier. Watch below:

It’s been just a year since Collier wrapped Djesse, his four-album odyssey that stretched across seven years, countless collaborations, and enough music to keep theory nerds arguing until the end of time. Instead of upping the stakes again, The Light For Days brings it down a notch. Six originals like “I Know (A Little)” sit alongside handpicked covers from Collier heroes James Taylor, John Martyn, The Beatles, and The Beach Boys.

He expands:

"Since completing the Djesse album series, my imagination has been brimming with all sorts of ideas of things I'd like to do and create. One of the things I've wanted to really focus on, and zone into, is the limitation of a single instrument. The acoustic-guitar sound world has been a foundational aspect of my music universe for as long as I can remember, and so I set myself the challenge of making a full-length album, using almost entirely the five-stringed guitar, in just four days. I had to work so fast that I couldn’t second-guess anything—I just had to roll with it and trust the process. The results are warm, scrappy, imperfect, but very close to my heart."
