This was a great week for singles. Already noted Valerie June (amazing!) but also:

Kokoroko - Baba Ayoola (afrobeat-ish outfit from the UK -- hopefully this means a full album is in the works?) https://kokoroko.bandcamp.com/album/baba-ayoola

Nick Hakim - Qadir (extended) - an extended (12 minutes!) version of the best track off of his "Will this make me good" lp earlier this year. It's a slow burn sort of track that just gets richer and richer as it goes on and on -- beautiful enough that you can *almost* forget the fact that its about a friend lost to suicide (I think)... https://youtu.be/N8KFQ3oyvGc
