Jacob Collier's Latest Single Pays Tribute to Brian Wilson.

Jacob Collier's Latest Single Pays Tribute to Brian Wilson.

      Jacob Collier has released a beautifully moving interpretation of the Beach Boys’ classic ‘Keep An Eye On Summer’.

      Although this song is a lesser-known track compared to their iconic hits, it exemplifies the Beach Boys’ brilliance with its stunning harmonies and emotionally resonant songwriting that few can truly master.

      Jacob Collier pays tribute to the legendary Brian Wilson with his rendition, which was recorded in his home music room using his signature five-string and ten-string Taylor guitars.

      “This is a beautiful piece of music,” he shares. “I have loved this song since I first heard it as a child. It perfectly captures the melancholic and earnest sophistication of the Beach Boys’ early work, with all the wonderful close harmony. On Summer Solstice last year, in June 2024, I spontaneously decided to record this rendition for fun, and it took me about four hours. This is the raw, unrefined version. Following Brian's passing a few months ago, I felt it was appropriate to share it with everyone as a tribute to him as summer draws to a close."

      The stunning video was created by animator and filmmaker Dávid Pogran.
