Welcome to our deep dive into 2019, a year when music saw explosive creativity across genres. From the genre-blurring sounds of Billie Eilish to the triumphant return of artists like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and Lizzo- we cover none of these.

Instead, we’ve chosen songs that are distinctly not 2019, being either revived classics with fresh covers, seriously good ballads and artists that embraced a distinct 70's and 80's vibe.

If 2019 wasn't your year for music, this is the show for you!
