Ahhh.. 2019 is here, which means it\u2019s time for a fresh start, new experiences, and of course, looking ahead to a busy year of much-anticipated music. To kick things off, Berkeley-based Toro y Moi turn over a new leaf, breaking away from their pioneering hazy chillwave sound to lift our spirits with Outer Peace\u2019s revitalized dance-driven jams. Sir Babygirl\u2019s debut, Crush on Me, drowns us in a chaotic, cotton-candy infused Nickelodeon pop dream as she wails about euphoric infatuation and aching heartbreak (fittingly, it\u2019ll be released the day after Valentine\u2019s Day.) And DC\u2019s Priests are back with the sinister, alluring prowl of The Seduction of Kansas that will surely leave you craving for more. Let\u2019s dig in.
