The Grammy award winning musician delighted Glastonbury last month with his soulful, captivating performance that saw the crowd fully immersed in his sound. Now, the London based singer/songwriter has dropped “Wellll,” which he debuted at Glastonbury, that provides for a much more rock vibe-combining elements of pop, punk and even 80s new wave.

Speaking of the song, Collier said, “wellllll, what can I say? The song is a collage of catharsis -a convergence of many musical materials I haven’t explored until now. It features my custom-designed 5-string electric guitar, made by Strandberg, and harkens back to much of the rock music I loved as a child. It’s a song about being a child, being wild and listening to your heart. I can’t wait for you to hear it.”

Collier, who incorporates a wide range of musical influences and styles in his songs, continues to push musical boundaries as “Wellll” sees the singer turning his attention to the more rock influenced side of his persona. It has also allowed Collier to show off his newly designed Strandberg, headless electric guitar-a model that seems to be growing in popularity with many musicians due to its light weight and open sound.

Collier himself has seen his star fast on the rise over the past twelve months as the singer has become noted for his energetic performances that often see him conducting sections of the crowd to provide different melody parts on songs. Collier has also used social media platforms to great effect, gathering millions of views and featuring cover songs on YouTube and crowd participation videos from his shows .

Collier released his debut album, In My Room in 2016-the release produced and recorded by himself in the back room of his family home in Finchley, London. The album was a ringing success with two of the songs, “Flintstones” and the Stevie Wonder cover of “You And I,” winning Grammy awards.

Collier has also recently featured as a co-writer on Stormzy’s 2022 hit album This Is What I Mean and also has performed with and produced music for Coldplay’s album Music Of The Spheres. He has also recently teamed up with the ever popular shoe brand Crocs to design a music inspired clog that features in the video for “Wellll.”

Cult-favourite footwear brand, @Crocs, adds to its ever-growing list of collaborations, this time it teamed up with singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer @JacobCollier.#jacobcollier #crocs #footwear #fashioncollab #retailnews #retailhttps://t.co/pjANTF5vG1

Welsh legend Sir Tom Jones never fails to bring a crowd to their feet. He’s sold over 100 million albums worldwide and will perform hits from his vast back catalogue. Jones’s powerful baritone and commanding stage presence and iconic songwriting truly mark an unforgettable event.

Multi-Grammy Award-winning legendary producer Nile Rogers will perform at the Greenwich Summer Sounds before Sir Tom Jones will be the closing act. He is famed for his work as the frontman and producer of the funk/disco group CHIC, who will also perform at the festival. He is well known for producing big hits for artists including David Bowie, Madonna and many more. He is recognised as one of the most influential figures in contemporary music and will perform classics from his extensive discography.

Next act to perform after Nile Rogers will be none other than Kaiser Chiefs. The five-piece band are quite known for their energetic live shows, wittiness, often political takes and lyricism, and have achieved 5 UK top 10 albums since their formation in 2002. With an extensive back catalogue, the Kaiser Chiefs will surely bring the house down with their powerhouse of a performance.

The festival will be run by IMG, who are behind The Big Festival, Hampton Court Palace Festival, Taste of London and Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. Matthew Mees, chief executive of Old Royal Naval College said, “We’re delighted to welcome such an incredible line-up of artists to perform at the Old Royal Naval College. It’s truly a magnificent venue for concertgoers to enjoy open-air music on a summer’s evening next to the river across London. Greenwich Summer Sounds is set to be a spectacular event in a beautiful and historic setting.”  

Nile Rogers, alongside CHIC, will be the opening act for the performance on July 4, and Sir Tom Jones will be the closing act on July 6. Kaiser Chiefs will take over on July 8. Greenwich Summer Sounds would be perfect for a Saturday night out. With three major artists as the highlight of the festival, this is one occasion that music lovers won’t want to miss.
