Top 10 albums of 2019: Miranda Lambert, Maggie Rogers, Lana Del Rey, more - Tampa Bay Times

The final year of any decade is often a table-setter for the one that comes after. Drake released his first EP, So Far Gone, in 2009, and he owned the 2010s. Billie Eilish dropped When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? this spring, and she might own the 2020s.

Sure enough, a handful of debuts made our list of the top 10 albums of 2019. But in the end, a decorated veteran took the top spot. Here’s the best music from the past year.

10. Post Malone, Hollywood’s Bleeding

Hollywood’s Bleeding was the first album where it felt safe to take Post Malone seriously. It’s a maturation from 2018′s (still pretty excellent) Beerbongs and Bentleys, yet Posty’s vocal hooks are just as eclectic, melodic and memorable, even those that come courtesy of SZA (Staring at the Sun), Young Thug (Goodbyes), Ozzy Osbourne (Take What You Want). That it features the Swae Lee-featuring Sunflower — which came out in late 2018 but is one of 2019′s defining hit — is icing on the cake.

9. Durand Jones and the Indications, American Love Call

It’s the strings. That’s what makes this Bloomington, Ind., collective’s sophomore album stand out from all the other retro soul LPs out there. Jones’ smoky croon sounds like John Legend, but the lush instrumentation of Circles and Court of Love is all about the Impressions, the Stylistics and other stalwarts of early-’70s soul.

8. Lana Del Rey, Norman F--king Rockwell!

Lana Del Rey’s sixth studio album doesn’t so much change her aesthetic as perfect it. Never has her wistful poetry felt so in tune with the wistful California dreamscapes she’s created in her mind, all gorgeous burnouts mourning the end of America as we know it. That it sounds like an earthier version of the album Taylor Swift tried to make in Lover is a testament to its delicate melodies and intricate songcraft.

7. Vampire Weekend, Father of the Bride

The best indie rock band of the 2010s stuck the landing with the strange, stylistically loose Father of the Bride. Over 18 meandering (but pleasantly so!) tracks, Ezra Koenig gets jammier, more open and less concerned with how the world views him than how he’s evolving into middle age. The album invites skipping around from vibe to vibe, but it’s worth lingering on Harmony Hall, Sunflower and Stranger.

6. Stella Donnelly, Beware of the Dogs

“I’ve worked too hard for this chance to not be biting the hand that feeds the hate,” Donnelly sings on Old Man, an opener that sets the confrontational tone of Beware of the Dogs. Over 13 songs — some folksy and meditative, others melodic and jangle-rocky — the Welsh-born, Australian singer-songwriter confronts the patriarchy and ruminates on cultural identity throughout her charming, wryly clever debut.

5. Tyler, the Creator, Igor

It’s a love letter, it’s a therapy session, it’s a complete hip-hop freakout. The Odd Future auteur’s most personal and cohesive album is a perfectly dark comedown for any night that didn’t go exactly as planned — and a brilliant bookend to a decade that began with Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

4. Lizzo, Cuz I Love You

This was the year of Lizzo, even when it wasn’t — her No. 1 summer anthem Truth Hurts originally came out in 2017, and was only tacked onto deluxe editions of Cuz I Love You. Nevertheless, few artists brought the world more joy in 2019 than this force-of-nature singer-rapper. There’s a maxed-out, dare-you-to-go-there infectiousness to singles like Juice and Tempo that made this the year’s most unkillable Ladies’ Night party-starter.

3. Jamila Woods, Legacy! Legacy!

The Chicago poet and singer rose to fame through collaborations with Chance the Rapper, but she’s carved out a lane as one of R&B’s most thoughtful alternative voices. Legacy! Legacy! celebrates 13 of Woods’ heroes, including Zora Neale Hurston, Nikki Giovanni, James Baldwin and Jean-Michel Basquiat, with a cool and evocative Afro-futurist palette. It may be a cultural history lesson, but it goes down so, so smoothly.

2. Maggie Rogers, Heard It In a Past Life

Maybe it’s too soon to call Heard It In a Past Life one of the decade’s best pop albums — too soon, recency bias, yada yada — but it’s absolutely one of the best pop debuts. Rogers’ voice, a lilting yelp with Adele-like potential, is wrapped warmly in delightfully alternative production, making beautiful songs like Light On and Fallingwater feel wise beyond her 25 years. Rogers is one to watch in the decade to come.

1. Miranda Lambert, Wildcard

Artistically and commercially, no country artist dominated the 2010s start to finish like Miranda Lambert. Wildcard proves she’s been getting better this whole time. Lambert’s first album with super-producer Jay Joyce revels in tracks that sound like ’80s rock (Mess with My Head), ’90s alt-pop (Pretty Bitchin'), acoustic blues (Holy Water), hell-raising cowpunk (Locomotive) and gauzy New Wave (Track Record). She bends each genre to her will, pulling each sound into a cohesive country album — a Miranda Lambert country album — without sacrificing her whimsical humor (It All Comes Out in the Wash), gorgeous songcraft (Bluebird) and unshakable Texas-ness (Tequila Does). It’s her best album yet — which, for an artist who was named the Academy of Country Music’s top female vocalist nine out of 10 years this decade — is astounding.
