This is less of a "this week" and more of a "today" listen, but Leon Bridges' new album Gold-Digger Sound. I have a theory that an artist's third album is the best time to see them on tour and I feel strongly about that theory here.
I'm in love with Floral Strobe by False Noise, it's really refreshing with stellar sound design and solid composition (good mix of catchy bits mixed with more grating ones).

Last night we watched Roots of Latin Jazz on PBS's Great Performances. Latin Jazz is not something I've spent a lot of time listening to. I got a bit of it when I lived in Miami for a few years. But Sheila E. hosted it and I've been watching her Masterclass series and wanted to see her in action. (She only plays on the last piece, but the whole thing is really good!) I'll just say that I was really wowed by it. There was some amazing playing, and it was a lot of fun. I especially liked the pieces from Cameroon and Spain.
