AP’s top albums of 2020: Toni Braxton, Teyana Taylor, JoJo

Toni Braxton’s “Spell My Name” has been named album of the year by The Associated Press’ Music Editor Mesfin Fekadu. The album sings about breakups, but it’s not a downer in a year full of sorrow. Instead, Fekadu says, it’s classic R&B music led by a veteran singer who knows how to beautifully emote direct and strong lyrics on her songs. Others in the top 10 include Teyana Taylor, Ingrid Andress, Chloe x Halle, JoJo, Bruce Springsteen, Tiwa Savage, Taylor Swift, Victoria Monét and Ellie Goulding.
