Mercury Prize Nominations 19th July 2011

Here are the nominations for the Mercury Prize Album award 2011 announced today.
I think it's a great list with some fabulous music from British female artists Adele, Anna Calvi, Katy B and P J Harvey especially. I have chosen a couple of artists to focus on, our personal favs here at Love Live Music.

Adele:


Halfway through 2011, "21" is by far the world's bestselling album, with sales estimated at 8m – and Adele also leads the way in the singles market, with Rolling in the Deep having sold around 6m copies, including more than 4m in the US - incredible statistics in this day and age of music sales. Goes to show, good song writing sells music in bucket loads!



One of my personal favourites in the list includes the amazing Tinie Tempah with great production from Labrinth. I met both of them at Glastonbury - amazingly intelligent, creative young men changing the UK music scene:





Speaking to the Observer in February, the 22-year old rapper described himself as "a soldier for my culture, the voice of my generation". His debut single Pass Out went straight to No 1 in the UK in early 2010 and won best single at the Brit awards this year, where he was also named best breakthrough act. Raised in Plumstead, south-east London, to a family from Nigeria, Patrick Okogwu is now working on a second album, launching a fashion line and aspires to be "a global brand, definitely. I'd like to get past that 'He's just a trend' thing. I want to get to a point where I've consolidated my position in British culture, like Damon Albarn or Chris Martin."

Guardian Music: "For most of Disc-Overy, Tinie Tempah pulls off the not inconsiderable feat of being funny while still suggesting you take him seriously. Despite its flaws, the good bits of the album ... sound like the work of a major talent, who might get better when he realises that he doesn't need to follow trends, that he's at his best when he's being himself, and his producers are making music to match." Alexis Petridis, the Guardian.

Tinie & Sally
















Another favourite is Love Live Music's hotly tipped "Everything Everything" managed by Duncan Ellis who also manages up and coming star Lianne la Havas.



Metronomy from Devon with their superb album English Riviera. "The album's title and its music are a homage to [Joe] Mount's native south-west – but it's a sunny, west coastified version, in which cool people drink tequila sunrises and Steely Dan tunes waft out of seafront bars." Caroline Sullivan, the Guardian. We love it here at LLM!



The winner of the 2011 prize will be announced on September 6.

The definitive list of the 2011 Albums of the Year are:

Adele 21
Anna Calvi Anna Calvi
Elbow Build A Rocket Boys!
Everything Everything Man Alive
Ghostpoet Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam
Gwilym Simcock Good Days at Schloss Elmau
James Blake James Blake
Katy B On A Mission
King Creosote & Jon Hopkins Diamond Mine
Metronomy The English Riviera
PJ Harvey Let England Shake
Tinie Tempah Disc-Overy

What are your favourite albums from this list? I think it is a great representation of some of the best British new albums of 2011. No real surprises in the list although not

Beyonce to Headline Glastonbury 2011

Beyonce has been confirmed by her record company Colombia as the Sunday night headliner at this year's Glastonbury 2011. The R&B/pop star, who is currently working with producers like Sean Garrett on her fourth album, will perform a 90-minute set.

Beyonce last performed on stage supporting her 2008 album, "I Am... Sasha Fierce" which ended last February. Rumours spread earlier this week that the singer would be headlining Glastonbury alongside U2 on the Friday night and Coldplay on the Saturday night although this hasn't been confirmed by the Glastonbury management. So we will have to wait until Michael and Emily Eavis confirm all. An interesting line up if this is all true and part of me sad that there is still no mention of Dolly or Take That! Let's wait till we here from the Farmer's mouths in Pilton.
