Twenty songs released in 2019 that I loved the most. Not ranked, but I put some thought into the track order. I've been doing this since 2016, and I love it.
Listen to the whole playlist on YouTube or Spotify.
The Weeknd - Blinding Lights
Only recently released and it went straight into this playlist. A song with an 80's vibe, great for driving.

Angel Olsen - All Mirrors
I'm a fan of Angel Olsen, and her new album didn't disappoint. It's full of great tracks, like this song, which she releases as her first single of this album. The music video is pretty good, too.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Bright Horses
Not the most accessible music, but oh so beautiful. This song is about the son of Nick Cave, who died after falling from a cliff.
