Billie Eilish, performing live here at Coachella, released her debut full-length album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go on March 29.

The midyear point is a good time to pause and take stock of all the great new music that's come out, which usually includes releases from a whole bunch of new and emerging artists. We'd like to know who your favorite new band or musician is in 2019, so far. We'll define a "new artist" as someone who released their debut, full-length album in the first half of the year. (If they don't yet have a full-length, their first EP or single will do.)

Use the form below to tell us your pick. We'll share the top ten vote-getters, along with a few of our own favorites, on the June 18 episode of All Songs Considered.
