I keep feeling like I’m hitting a saturation point on music, which is leading me to believe that I don’t know as much about my entire library as I used to.
But new music keeps coming in, and even if I feel like I’m not as inside-out knowledgeable of it as I used to be, it’s still here, and still enjoyable. Here are some of my favorite albums from 2019:
All Hail the Silence - ‡
Marc E Bassy - PMD
Betty Who - Betty
The Chainsmokers - World War Joy
Billie Eilish - When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
K.Flay - Solutions
Khalid - Free Spirit
MARINA - LOVE + FEAR
Taylor Swift - Lover
TOOL - Fear Inoculum
Here’s my list of my favorite singles of the year as well:
2019 also saw the 10th release of Anjunadeep’s compilation album. I really enjoyed it, especially what would have been the first disc if that were still a thing.
Of course, this was also the end of the decade. So I had to come up with my favorite songs of the decade. Here are 50 of them.
Additionally, here is my “Replay 2019” list which shows the 100 songs that I apparently played the most throughout the year.
