(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€” isnโ€™t necessary for any real music fan to realize how outstanding, soulful and poignant Lennoxโ€™s debut album is. Lennoxโ€™s โ€œShea 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, โ€œOver Itโ€: Summer Walkerโ€™s debut album is perfect, as she spits matter-of-fact lyrics over some beats that borrow from classic โ€˜90s R&B hits including Usher, Destinyโ€™s Child and 702. But even when sheโ€™s not sampling a song, Walker can hold her own, delivering a flawless album thatโ€™s easy to obsess over.
