Musical virtuoso Jacob Collier has a fourth song and video from his forthcoming album Djesse — Volume 2. “It Don’t Matter” is a collab with pop singer JoJo, and the corresponding lyric video was both edited and directed by Collier himself (he’s a noted Renaissance Man).

Volume 2 of Collier’s consummate four-album project Djesse features JoJo, dodie, Lianne La Havas, Oumou Sangaré, Chris Thile, Sam Amidon, Steve Vai, Kathryn Tickell, Becca Stevens, and MARO. Collier produced, engineered, and composed nearly everything on it, despite enlisting dozens of co-conspirators to lend their vocal chops.

Djesse – Volume 2 is out July 19th via Hajanga Records. Watch the video for “It Don’t Matter” below.
