More strings: After several fine folk-rock and indie pop albums, musician Angel Olsen chose 2019, The Year of Woman, to make her breakthrough record, the art-rock masterpiece All Mirrors. Embracing an orchestral sound and soaring, majestic vocals, Olsen finally realized the potential her career had been promising up to this point, launching her to the No. 2 spot on our Best of 2019 list.
Runner Up/For Your Consideration: Another singer-songwriter, Sharon Van Etten, chose 2019 not only to make a comeback from a short hiatus, but to also emerge with a powerful and assured new sound. Employing synths and drum machines, Van Etten's new sound was a stark departure from her past, and while we loved her older recordings, the new record left us speechless.
