47 Albums That Made 2019 Seem Almost Bearable

"I can't think of a single artist right now that has the same aptitude for sonic storytelling as Labrinth. His vocation and Euphoria's narrative were a match made in heaven, as evidenced by this beautiful score (arguably the best one of the year). Not only do the songs make me think of certain scenes from the HBO drama, but they also spur my imagination. The tunes are so evocative, I often find myself creating my own storylines and getting lost in those musings. And don't get me started on 'Nate Growing Up' and 'Still Don't Know My Name' — chills!" — Brea Cubit, celebrity and entertainment assistant editor
