On Bugs, the opening track of her third solo album, we find Jamila Woods in the process of falling in love. It doesn’t sound like it at first – her suitor has “a lot of hair, like a lot” and smells so much of weed it makes her feel sick – but eventually all hesitancy falls away and the 34-year-old opens her heart, allowing the song to blossom into an embrace of imperfect romance over glittering psychedelic soul. The result is mesmerising, gorgeous, funny, wise and joyful. It doesn’t last.
