The closing year of the decade had a lot to offer musically. I found new artists I know I’ll sit with going through the next decade. Some of my favorites gave us new jams and for that, I’m very grateful. That being said who would I be if I didn’t share the music I loved most this year? I’ve split these lists into two, and this is the first, my top 9 extended plays and songs that shaped 2019 and the next will be my top 10 albums that shaped 2019 (that gem is coming out on Monday). These EPs and songs reminded me to live, that I was loved, and that we are all just trying to make it, so let’s get into this year’s picks.
