Tracks of the Week 15.08.20

A trio of women stand tall atop this week’s roundup, as Ciara puts in the labour on her new video for ‘Rooted’, Rico Nasty gets gassy with one half of 100 gecs, and Jorja Smith scrabbles in the embers while the world around her burns. Sufjan Stevens won’t play inside your virtual reality, Tiwa Savage explores where sex and politics entwine, Okay Kaya snacks on the spoiled salad of vengefulness, and Cass McCombs returns to Lebanon with spare offerings of wine. There are new albums from Burna Boy, A. G. Cook, and Kathleen Edwards, collaborations from Anderson .Paak and Rick Ross, iann dior and Lil Baby, and Drake and Lil Durk, and songs from Sevana, DUMA, King Krule, 18Veno, Blue Hawaii, Selah Broderick, Kaash Paige, and more.
