Jacob Collier's new arrangement of Bridge Over Troubled Water is one of his best yet. And the best part is Tori Kelly's phenomenal solo starting at about 3:30. I don't know how I had not heard her before, but she is easily one of the most skilled pop vocalists in recent years:
Lest you think this is all autotuned, be prepared to have your mind blown:

Wow.
Do I hear some Just intonation in there.?
Or is it just my untrained ear.
@corlin
Well Jacob's parts are partially digitally manipulated. As crazy as his vocal range is, there's things that are not possible with one human voice. And he uses microtonal techniques from time to time.
As far as JI, you may be right. That wouldn't be a new thing. In my undergrad program, the head of the early music department came in to work with the choir I sang in to retune us for Renaissance polyphony, and he told us that certain intervals would definitely be JI.
@voltronic
Thanks.
I did a deep dive into micro tunings.
About two years ago. Both to learn what I was hearing in Indian, and other eastern music, and also to try it out in compositions..
I still play around with it.

FTR, I consider your ear to be very sharp based on our conversations. It may be more from experience than formal training, but training can only bring you so far. You are an extremely perceptive listener.
