47 Albums That Made 2019 Seem Almost Bearable

"Sometimes you're just in your feelings and need to listen to someone who isn't afraid to express those feelings! Summer Walker's debut album gave us exactly what her previously released singles promised it would, silky-smooth R&B hits that illustrate the tumultuous voyage the heart makes when it falls in and out of love. One of my favorites is 'Come Thru,' which samples Usher's classic 'You Make Me Wanna...' and features the singer for a sultry mix that paints a bop of lusty longing. That chorus will have you making a move faster than Instagram DMs even go through." — Mekishana Pierre, entertainment assistant editor
