On ‘Song for Berta’, written and recorded over a couple of days, JFDR, Sandrayati Fay, and Damien Rice remember the Honduran environmental activist and indigenous leader Berta Cáceres, with all proceeds going to the COPINH organisation. Leanne Betasamosake Simpson carves out a theory of ice, combining fragmented visions of the land with thick bass and hoarfrost arrangements, Rosé of Blackpink releases her solo debut, while Jorja Smith dabbles in self-effacement and addiction. Tkay Maidza covers Pixies, there are remixes from A. G. Cook and Jlin, and new tracks by Rod Wave, Ibeyi, Rochelle Jordan, and Mal Devisa.
