Mercury Music Prize winner at the third nomination. I fear, sadly, that’s the last we’ll hear of him.
I prefer his first album, when he was still the new Bill Withers. But maybe that’s because I saw him donkeys years ago, promoting his first EP.

This usually causes some debate and looking at this list I can’t see that changing this year. I’ve heard a few of these – Love the Glass Animals album, clever, catchy pop songs with depth. Not so keen on Blossoms, two decent tracks and a wave of hype? My gut feeling is that Stormzy will take the cheque. Right, I’m off to Spotify to check out the ones i’m not familiar with
Alt-J – Relaxer
Blossoms – Blossoms
Dinosaur – Together, As One
Ed Sheeran – Divide
Glass Animals – How To Be a Human Being
J Hus – Common Sense
Kate Tempest – Let Them Eat Chaos
Loyle Carner – Yesterday’s Gone
Sampha – Process
Stormzy – Gang Signs and Prayer
The Big Moon – Love in the 4th Dimension
The xx – I See You
