APโs top albums of 2019: Ari Lennox, Summer Walker, Anitta
(Republic Records via AP)NEW YORK, NY โ The top 10 albums of the year by Associated Press Music Editor Mesfin Fekadu:1. A nomination โ or eight โ isnโt necessary for any real music fan to realize how outstanding, soulful and poignant Lennoxโs debut album is. Lennoxโs โShea Butter Babyโ is the best album of the year, no matter if awards shows think differently, including you, the Soul Train Music Awards. Summer Walker, โOver Itโ: Summer Walkerโs debut album is perfect, as she spits matter-of-fact lyrics over some beats that borrow from classic โ90s R&B hits including Usher, Destinyโs Child and 702. But even when sheโs not sampling a song, Walker can hold her own, delivering a flawless album thatโs easy to obsess over.
