Little Simz for the win obviously. I’d love to see The Bug nominated, Fire was one of my favourite albums of the last few years.

Songs are for cowards, production is for the true #gamers

Need to look back on the jazz releases but Nala Sinephro might be a good shout for a nomination (if she qualifies, not sure how long she’s been in the UK).

Keeley Forsyth would be cool aye
Kathryn Joseph. Especially if she introduces her song like she did on tour: “Here is a song about an abusive cunt.”

Dave seems a decent shout for the shortlist, I think it came out at the very start of the eligibility period?
Unlikely to be shortlisted but would be good - Pillow Queens
Do Fountains DC qualify? If so, they must be in with a shout.

Yeah, wonder if they put themselves forward
Nilufer Yanya’s one was excellent and she is the sort of artist that could do with a bump up in profile from it.

New Black Midi comes out on deadline day, imagine they’ll be in with a shout. Probably Kae Tempest too.

It’s my AOTY so far.

Didn’t know she was British. Definitely fits the criteria then
She might be too Australian

The Ishmael Ensemble album is a good shout for jazz nominee if eligible - it’s really good. That and Nala Sinephro, per @Octobadger’s suggestion. Really great albums, and cross over appeal beyond jazz enthusiasts
