Seven debut albums, including Cat Burns' Early Twenties, Nia Archives' Silence Is Loud, Barry Can't Swim's When Will We Land? and Last Dinner Party's Prelude To Ecstasy also feature on the Mercury Prize shortlist this year.
Charli XCX is officially bringing 'brat summer' to the Mercury Prize - after being shortlisted alongside other artists including Ghetts, Barry Can't Swim and Nia Archives. The acclaimed singer-songwriter has made the 12-strong shortlist for the second time with her blockbuster sixth album Brat, the force behind the viral trend that has even become part of the presidential race.
This year's winner, to be announced in September, will follow in the footsteps of the likes of Ezra Collective, Little Simz, Arlo Parks, Michael Kiwanuka, Dave and Wolf Alice. One of music's most prestigious prizes, the event was set up in 1992 - with the inaugural award going to Primal Scream's Screamadelica.
