Listen: “Bittersweet” by Lianne La Havas. The British singer-songwriter and guitarist is back with a slow-burning song that leaves me reveling in her vibrato-powered voice. It’s been five years since La Havas delivered new music — I’m ready for more of her vocal gifts. — Christina M. Tapper, deputy editor
Discover: The Red Record by Ida B. Wells. With the recent news that lynching has officially been designated a hate crime, this nonfiction classic chronicling the horrifying practice has new meaning.

Watch: Atlantics by Mati Diop. Diop received international acclaim last year when she became the first Black female director to win the Palme d’Or for this movie. I’ve heard nothing but praise about it and I can’t wait to dive in. — Morgan Jerkins, senior editor
