Rough Trade's best of 2020 list: Sault on top

A wee bit early in the year, Rough Trade has announced their 2020 Albums of the Year list, with Hazel English on spot No. 20, and Sault at the top. This year's best album is 'Untitled (Black Is)' because it "delivers equal parts grace and charge, manoeuvring through disparate sub-genres to create a magnificent medley of exaltation.
