Tracks of the Week 05.09.20

After releasing her latest record on Juneteenth, Teyana Taylor uses still photographs and archival footage to reconstruct a history of black grief, through all the strife and tears still holding out hope for some healing. SZA isn’t like all those other guys and girls, as even alongside perennial bopper Ty Dolla $ign, something about her just hits different. Bend an ear towards Gold Record by Bill Callahan, Aralkum by Galya Bisengalieva, Mama, You Can Bet! by Jyoti, Fall to Pieces by Tricky, Detroit 2 by Big Sean, Hannah by Lomelda, and Surviving Is The New Living by Okay Kaya. And swallow quickly new songs by A. G. Cook, Hen Ogledd, Lil Durk, Dua Saleh, Shabazz Palaces, JPEGMAFIA, and BKTHERULA.
