While the world kept its eyes firmly fixed on a presidential election, its ears yearned for something more than Tom Petty and ‘Y.M.C.A.’ That’s why the legendary percussionist Kahil El’Zabar urged jazzy self expression, while Kylie Minogue took us by the hand and led us back to the discothèque. In the spirit of collaboration, Dua Lipa and Angèle, Chester Watson and Salami Rose Joe Louis, and Mike WiLL Made-It, Nicki Minaj, and YoungBoy Never Broke Again partnered up. Uncontested it was left to HANA, Jade Bird, Smino, NAV, TyFontaine, and Sofie to round out the best of the week’s tracks.
