  The 50 best albums of 2019 – from Tyler, the Creator’s IGOR to Weyes Blood’s Titanic Rising

  If the 2010s was the decade where the boundaries of “genre” began to collapse, 2019 was the year we saw our first, truly “genreless” artist. Billie Eilish, a 17-year-old who grew up with every song in the world at her fingertips, is part of a generation moving towards a time where, perhaps, singular terms such as “rock”, “folk” and even “pop” will feel positively archaic.That’s not quite the case yet, though this has certainly been an innovative year for music.

  The strange world of Aldous Harding: ‘I’ve always been driven by fear’

  The strange world of Aldous Harding: ‘I’ve always been driven by fear’. The New Zealander can be an unnerving presence. She’s also one of the most original songwriters around. She talks about Meatloaf, Apocalypse Now… and why her generation is so frightened

  Albums of the week: Pink, The Cranberries and Catfish and the Bottlemen

  The opening of her latest album certainly illustrates this: Hustle and Walk Me Home follow the same identikit, arena-friendly pop-punk that has characterised so much of her past seven albums. The gorgeous guitar and piano acoustic of Love Me Anyway and The Last Song of Your Life showcase Pink’s soaring balladry well, while 90 Days is perhaps the album’s most varied song structurally and sonically. Pink can afford to take risks: when she does, there’s plenty to enjoy.

  Album reviews: Aldous Harding, The Cranberries, Soak, and Catfish and the Bottlemen

  On her third record, Aldous Harding combines the gothic folk of her self-titled 2014 debut with the dramatically intimate tones of her follow-up album Party. It’s layered with whimsical flutes, intricate guitar picking and sombre bass lines that meander with casual abandon. At an age where the pressure is on to have everything worked out, Harding sounds delightfully free.

  Jesca Hoop at Union Chapel, London, review: Older material leaves little impression

  An extraordinary feast of talented female singer-songwriters are lighting up the music scene at present. For me, Hoop’s current LP – Memories Are Now – is the pick of the bunch, combining folksy loveliness with stranger, more unsettling tracks that hint at a wealth of ideas behind the delicate strumming.
