The 2016 nominees for the Mercury Music Prize were revealed.
Although I think that most of this kind of prizes are about publicity and managers, this is probably the most relevant music award.
The nominees are:
- Anohni – Hopelessness
- Bat for Lashes – The Bride
- David Bowie – Blackstar
- Jamie Woon – Making Time
- Kano – Made in the Manor
- Laura Mvula – The Dreaming Room
- Michael Kiwanuka – Love & Hate
- Radiohead – A Moon Shaped Pool
- Savages – Adore Life
- Skepta – Konnichiwa
- The 1975 – I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it
- The Comet Is Coming – Channel the Spirit
Some familiar faces there, Radiohead heading to their 5th try, and they never won. Savages also to go for their second final, and Bat for Lashes to their third. Both Laura Mvula and Michael Kiwanuka were also one time close to win before.
Some people are appointing the 1975 as the winner or, obviously, David Bowie,
Hopefully, David Bowie will win. It is is 3rd time in the finals of the Mercury and, above all of the artists, he really deserves to him because Blackstar is not only a fantastic album, but also a fantastic and brutal experience.
Big disappointment to see that Suede with Night Thoughts didn't make the last round...
