The week ahead, with Jordi Garrigós

Some of the things we hope not to miss in the next seven days

I will listen to Charli XCX's new album. Music, fashion, film is the eighth album by the British pop star and a new, more rock-oriented turn in her prolific career. After dominating with the Brat summer, Charli Aitchison abandons green and embraces black and white to remain almost the only singer of her generation who plays with the mainstream while navigating the margins and experimentation. A singer who is living her particular artistic zenith, having more fun than anyone.

I will finish McCartney: the hunt for the lost bass, about the mysterious disappearance and recovery of Paul McCartney's first bass, a Höfner 500/1 bought in Hamburg in 1961 for only 30 pounds. This marvel sounded on the original recordings of Love me do, she loves you and the early Beatles classics. A road movie musical about the greatest pop group of all time.

I will listen to Libertad, the new single by Baya Baye featuring Bexnil, Mushkaa's usual producer. The rapper from Montgat continues to defend a raw and uninhibited Catalan identity, in this case reclaiming the nineties sound and with verses that attack the well-known national melancholy: "Enough of being silent, enough of fooling around. Let the enemy tremble." You may like it more or less, but there's no one else like him.
