'The Music' team on the albums you need to hear from 2019.

"Eilish has delivered an innovative marvel in When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?. Its central motif is phantasmagoria – as manifested in the single Bury A Friend, which the vocalist imaginatively penned from the perspective of a monster under her bed." – Cyclone

The hype surrounding this Gen Z disruptor seemed insurmountable but with When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, Billie Eilish cemented her place in the global music scene. 

In an age where streaming stats are often exalted over narrative, Eilish cut through the clicks (although she has them too) with her cleverly crafted dark-pop debut, and it resonated the world over. With dark beats, dark lyrics and some killer memes as a result, this album stands as an accurate reflection of the music scene in 2019.
