jacob collier – the light for days

release: 5th december 2025

available on vinyl / cd

following the kaleidoscopic ambition of djesse vol. 4, jacob returns with the light for days – a stripped-back, emotionally resonant body of work that is reflective of the quiet core of his artistry. recorded in just four days in the very room where his career first took flight, the light for days trades scale for intimacy, spotlighting jacob’s unmistakable voice and a deepening relationship with the guitar. the result is a collection of originals and handpicked covers that feel immediate, heartfelt, and timeless. this is jacob at his most direct and vulnerable – a sonic counterpart to the moments in his live shows when everything falls away and it is just jacob and his chosen instrument.
