AllMusic Loves 2019
Dec. 10, 2019
As 2019 unspooled on a weekly basis, certain artists and albums dominated the discourse, gathering so much attention that it sometimes seemed that there wasn't much notable music outside of this chosen few. Often, this music was worthy of attention. It's hard to deny the teenage angst of Billie Eilish, the full-blooded soul hip-hop of Lizzo, the return of FKA twigs, Lana Del Rey's Southern Californian melodramas, the country defiance of the Highwomen, or the wry melancholy of Purple Mountains, the last record from singer/songwriter David Berman.
Beyond this cluster of acclaimed albums lies a vast array of idiosyncratic riches from every imaginable style of music. Jamila Woods dug deeper into her poetic contemporary R&B with LEGACY! LEGACY!, while the Comet Is Coming charted the outer limits of jazz on Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery, and Natalie Mering found soul on Titanic Rising, the latest record by her outfit Weyes Blood. Steve Gunn modernized the classic Greenwich Village folk scene, Mary Timony's Ex Hex stuck to their AOR guns, William Tyler painted an evocative instrumental portrait of the American West, and Jessica Pratt somehow managed to get softer on Quiet Signs, her third album.
These are just a handful of the albums AllMusic editors selected as their personal favorites for 2019. They're surrounded by remarkable records made by artists both well-known and obscure, artists that gave us many reasons to love 2019.
