You & I, Jeff Buckley’s first official posthumous album, was released on Sony this past spring. This album contains very early demo recordings of Buckley playing cover songs, featuring a range of music that influenced him. Timeless songs like Bob Dylan’s ‘Just Like A Woman’ and Sly & The Family Stone’s ‘Everyday People’ are given the unmistakable Buckley treatment.

Sony and the Buckley estate brought in Fame House to help create a unique, sleek way of showcasing the influences found both on You & I, and within his extensive record collection. Additionally, Sony and the estate were looking to introduce the sound and influences of Jeff Buckley to a new generation of listeners who are used to consuming music on streaming services like Spotify and are far more comfortable with ‘the single’ than the vinyl record experience.

This project marked the first time an artist’s personal vinyl collection was transferred from the physical crates to the digital shelves.

Spotify was chosen as the digital partner due to its userbase and the option to listen to full albums on the service for free. Organised in alphabetical order, any music fan is now able to seamlessly scroll through Buckley’s unique collection.

Additionally, this project contains a social share element that allows the user to stream and share albums from Buckley’s personal collection to their followers across social media. Jeff Buckley once said, “I don’t really need to be remembered. I hope the music is remembered.” This project ensures that Jeff Buckley’s music and record collection will forever live on and, as he wished, be remembered.
