Music Week's guide to the most essential tracks of the moment.
JADE BIRD
I Get No Joy (Glassnote Music)
Jade Bird’s self-titled debut album will be here next month, and the former BRIT School student drops this huge, soulful single to tide us over in the meantime. It’s pretty mega.

DAVE
Black (Neighbourhood)
Dave’s debut album Psychodrama is coming this week (March 8) and he follows No.1 Funky Friday with this crackling exploration of his identity.

GIGGS
Baby (No BS/Island)
Giggs’ new LP Big Bad is enjoyably murky, but he sounds like he’s about to laugh here, on a bassy highlight from a record with many layers.

KH
Only Human (Ministry Of Sound)
Kieran Hebden dusts off his KH alias to release Only Human, which takes a sample from Nelly Furtado’s Afraid and warps it with concrete-heavy techno.

SHY FX (FEAT. SWEETIE IRIE & CARA DELEVINGNE)
(Culutre)
The legendary Shy FX teams up with fellow UK OG Sweetie Irie and Cara Delevingne on a track that wanders in unexpected directions.

BLACK FUTURES (FEAT. BOBBY GILLESPIE)
Me TV (Music For Nations)
This big slab of noise comes with a charitable message, as the Londoners recruit Bobby Gillespie to emphasise the line, “Turn up for your community”.

BIG THIEF
UFOF (4AD)
Big Thief’s first release for 4AD is a pleasing folk confection that sounds like it was recorded in the countryside (it was). The album drops May 3.
