It is a cover of the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun", and was produced in collaboration with Dodie Clark. Collier and Clark directed and also recorded the music video themselves.[12][13][15][16]

The cover of "Moon River" opens with a 144-part choir featuring the voices of famous musicians (including Daniel Caesar, Quincy Jones, Tori Kelly, Chris Martin, Charlie Puth, and Hans Zimmer[17]); Collier's collaborators from Djesse Vol. 1 and Vol. 2; students and professors from Oakwood University and MIT (including the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble); Collier's own immediate family; Collier's studio & live sound engineering and management teams; and June Lee, a YouTuber known for his transcriptions of Collier's work. It also includes roughly 5000 different vocal recordings of Collier, making use of just intonation and of Collier's distinctive microtonal tunings.[4][6][18][19][20][21] The track "Moon River" on the album won the Grammy Award for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella in the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards.[22][23]

The volume features collaborations with Sam Amidon, Dodie Clark, Lianne La Havas, JoJo, MARO, Oumou Sangaré, Becca Stevens, Chris Thile, Kathryn Tickell, and Steve Vai.[2][4][12][13][14][18] Collier has been on the Djesse world tour since the release of the first volume.[24][25][26]
