Top Music Picks of 2019
This was a year filled with many full incredible albums. I’ve been a person in the past who likes a song or two from an album but this year has been about listening to ten albums on repeat. I’ve listened to the below albums so, so, so many times.
Here’s my favorite music of 2019 -- hope you enjoy! Happy holidays!
