Triplets, quartets, and quintets give this week’s selection of tracks a fuller figure, as Disclosure, Kehlani, and Syd team up for ‘Birthday’, Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, SAINt JHN, and WizKid provide the background vocals as Naomi Campbell, Lupita Nyong’o, and Kelly Rowland pal around on film for ‘BROWN SKIN GIRL’, and BLACKPINK enlist Selena Gomez to serve ice creams double-dipped in sherbet. From hearth and home to the streets of New York and California, Nas celebrates black culture, from Durban the trio Phelimuncasi mark a decade of gqom, Koffee spices up a Protoje switch, Adia Victoria exhorts the South, and Julia Holter covers Fleetwood Mac on ‘Gold Dust Woman’. There are collaborations between Run the Jewels and 2 Chainz, Tiwa Savage and Naira Marley, and TOBACCO and Trent Reznor, plus new music from Princess Nokia, Tkay Maidza, William Basinski, MOTHERMARY, NoCap, Dizzy Fae, and more.
