IIRC, record companies pay to enter their act so it’s maybe now a good way to add credibility to an artist like Harry Styles? Can/should Wet Leg be stopped? Did Burna Boy miss the cut off as his new album should scoop some awards. Is the Mercury prize an irrelevance now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Burna Boy miss the cut off as his new album should scoop some awards. Is the Mercury prize an irrelevance now? I knew a lot more acts than the last few years for me. Not sure about Burna Boy missing the cut off but Gwenno released her Album on 1st July. If it was for me to pick it would be between 3: Little Simz, Self Esteem and Gwenno. Think that Wet Leg and Yard act albums are a bit overrated. Edited July 29, 2022 by betting competition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarto Mutiny Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I'm a huge fan of Gwenno's album, but it won't win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
