The 50 Best Albums Of 2019 Written By Stereogum December 3 2019, 10:00 AM ET For many of us, 2019 has been a year of flux — politically, culturally, professionally, personally. Music reviews, ratings, news and more. But when the songwriting is this perfect, who cares about originality?The gothic teen queen came through with some characteristically unsettling productions on her debut album, but equally showed an unexpected love of show tunes that posited her as a Gen-Z Fiona Apple.The most exciting new Irish band in a generation, Fontaines DC’s songs, populated by a vivid cast of characters from yuppies to nationalists, are full of vim and vigour – but also tenderness.The purposeful folk star Rhiannon Giddens teams with the Italian multi-instrumentalist for an album that explores how sounds and rhythms from Africa and the Arabic world connect with traditional music from Europe and America.Released just six months after Sweetener, an album that channelled Grande’s resilience in the wake of the Manchester Arena bombing, Thank U, Next was a looser, more experimental creative burst that delved deeper into Grande’s psyche following the death of former fiance Mac Miller, and let her swaggering id run free on tracks such as 7 Rings and Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored.The finely turned folk-pop on Harding’s third album was as beautiful as her lyrics were cryptic – you can join her in puzzling over what she was doing in Dubai (indeed, were she ever there) while swooning to her finger-picked nylon guitar.For Proto, Herndon processed human voices through an “AI baby” she named Spawn, though the results remained pleasingly human: choirs spliced into fractal wonders, and on Eternal, a towering pop song to tickle the synapses.Born out of Jayda G’s research as an environmental toxicologist and her clubbing life as a resident of Berlin, Significant Changes is a funky delight that shifts nimbly from exhilarating highs (Leave Room 2 Breathe) to orca-aided ambience.Last year, the Beninese artist released an inspired full-album cover of Talking Heads’ Remain in Light; this year, she turned her hand to songs by Celia Cruz, queen of salsa, highlighting the Cuban star’s African roots with assistance from Tony Allen, the west African Gangbé Brass Band, Britain’s Sons of Kemet and American Meshell Ndegeocello on bass.The New York-based cellist transcended her status as a collaborator with artists including Solange and Blood Orange on her stirring debut: disco reverie Poor Fake is a particular highlight.His naive, trembling voice may be a little like Robert Wyatt’s, but is still a uniquely arresting instrument, haunting a series of wonderfully meandering folk-rock backings.A supergroup comprising North American roots musicians Rhiannon Giddens, Leyla McCalla, Allison Russell and Amythyst Kiah: together, these banjo-wielding heroines confronted the historic and continued abuse of African American women with authority and intimacy.One of the most plainly beautiful releases from the experimental Norwegian vocalist – using a retrofitted pump organ, plaintive ballads sit alongside whimsical flights of fancy.Made in the throes of an identity crisis and a floundering sense of purpose, Rose’s fourth record paradoxically found her at her most artistically assured, possessed of a new lyrical profundity and melodic weightiness.The one saving grace of Brexit Britain being so utterly toxic is that Another wretched yet amused state-of-the-nation address delivered in a broad, leering Midlands accent, An ambitious and richly produced album, with buzzing industrial electronics newly folded into At 71, jazz pianist Aki Takase is more sprightly and inventive than people half her age: Thema Prima bursts with energy, with blurts of sassy big band, screwball improv and classy balladeering.Every other year seems to throw up its own nervy motorik combo – and this year’s contenders are the Manchester group WH Lung, whose debut adds to the equation exhilarating psychedelia and compellingly obscure lyricism.With each track title named after a significant black cultural figure – Zora, Eartha, Basquiat, and so on – this beautiful record also draws from across the black musical spectrum: rap, R&B, soul and gospel.The London guitarist hardly needed the between-song skits about contemporary anxieties to make her point on her rapturous and compellingly uneasy debut, laced with rare, bona fide indie anthems (In Your Head) and ripcord yelp shocks (Heavyweight Champion of the Year).Devastating drama in Chernobyl, a fitting finale for Fleabag and the climax of Game of Thrones.

Lost Under Heaven en grande forme, la résurrection de Deerhunter, les projets très attendus de Kanye West, les retour de Foals et Tame Impala, le rock slacker de TH da Freak, le teasing de Rihanna ou encore la nouvelle livraison de Childish Gambino. Ariana Grande delivered swaggering pop, there was state-of-the-nation rap from Slowthai, Dave and Sleaford Mods, Billie Eilish shouted out for the teens, and Angélique Kidjo blended Africa with CubaAnchored by sturdy, stunningly pretty folk-rock backings, Adrianne Lenker, her voice tremulous but tenacious, makes existential musings amid verdant nature.The Californian troubadour, who has steadily wound his way through the fringes of With as much an affinity with hip-hop and progressive rock as jazz, the trio of reeds player Shabaka Hutchings, synth player Dan Leavers and drummer Max Hallett make one of the most cosmic statements of the current British jazz revival.Socially engaged and emotionally complex, Streatham’s finest frets on black history and family strife with his clearly enunciated flow – but there’s still a faint summery heat to tracks such as Location, Disaster and Voices.Spiritual jazz is reborn in Dawid’s beguiling songs, layered from recordings made on her phone: dizzyingly beautiful runs on her clarinet are paired with keening harmonised vocals.Simpler than the futuristic trio of albums that preceded it, New Breed welds musical reflections from Dawn’s home town of New Orleans with spacey psychedelia as indebted to krautrock as southern screw, coupled with forthright lyrical assertions of the effort it has taken to forge her musical identity.Bradford Cox’s outfit continue to be the best indie rock band in the US, considering everything from Jo Cox’s death to environmental collapse over Kinks-y psychedelia with wit and wonderment intact.An overlooked masterpiece of modern soul, the Indiana quintet are shamelessly retro in their style: all pert brass and crooning close harmonies.
