new British and Irish music from the past 12 months. After listening to over 200 albums, the judges whittle it down to 12 genre-spanning recordings that unfailingly provide an insight into what is great about music in Britain and Ireland. It’s not about sales, singles, streams or even social media followers: it’s all about the album. </p><p>And what exceptional albums they are for 2022! The line-up of shortlisted albums includes a staggering five debuts, a supremely positive indication of the wealth of new talent breaking through, as well as previously Mercury Prize shortlisted artist Little Simz. </p><p>Bowers & Wilkins continues its support for the Mercury Prize as Official Audio Partner, built on a shared passion for music and the album format as a body of work and wanted to celebrate the exceptional craft and creativity that goes into each and every one of these albums.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_layouts-oneColumn"> <div class="one-column-layout" data-animate="false"> <div class="one-column-layout-container container content-width bg-none pt-none pb-none"> <div class="row" > <div class="columnContent col-12 col-md-10 offset-md-1"><div class="experience-component experience-commerce_layouts-mobileGrid2r1c"> <div class="mobile-2r-1c undefined" > <div class="row mx-n2 "> <div class="region col-12 col-sm-6"><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_layouts-oneColumn"> <div class="one-column-layout" data-animate="false"> <div class="one-column-layout-container bg-none pt-none pb-none"> <div class="row" > <div class="columnContent col-12 col-md-12 offset-md-0"><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_components-photoTile"> <div class="photo-tile-container h-100 d-flex align-items-center" data-scroll-reveal="fade slow"> <div class="photo-tile position-relative w-100 h-100 none margin-none"> <figure class="photo-tile-figure w-100 h-100"> <picture> <source srcset="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dwb65bb305/blog/2022-the-mercury-prize-celebrates/BW-BLOG-2022-mp-prize-winner-one.jpg?sw=2160" media="(min-width: 767px)"/> <source srcset="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dwb65bb305/blog/2022-the-mercury-prize-celebrates/BW-BLOG-2022-mp-prize-winner-one.jpg?sw=1024" media="(min-width: 640px)"/> <img class="common-image-component" src="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dwb65bb305/blog/2022-the-mercury-prize-celebrates/BW-BLOG-2022-mp-prize-winner-one.jpg?sw=768" style="--focal-point-x: 50%;

Chock full of crowd-pleasing examinations of youth and society at large, Fender’s song writing craft always comes to the fore, and every track both stands alone and builds to an incredibly engaging album – it’s a powerful document of a man in his late 20s re-examining his youth and the society around him.</p><h3>Little Simz</h3><p><em>Sometimes I Might Be Introvert</em></p><p>Little Simz’s fourth album is a masterclass in modern songcraft. <em>Sometimes I Might Be Introvert</em>, Simz’s second Mercury shortlisted album, is big, bold and packed with killer tunes. At times theatrical, occasionally operatic, always deeply personal, and at over an hour long, is a phenomenal album, part recorded in Abbey Road Studios on our 800 Series Diamond loudspeakers.</p><h3>Nova Twins</h3><p><em>Supernova</em></p><p>The self-described ‘urban-punk’ duo’s second album is without doubt the rockiest offering among this year’s nominees. Packed with big bass, pounding drums and guitar riffage from start to finish, <em>Supernova</em> grabs you and doesn’t let up until the very last note!</p> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_layouts-oneColumn"> <div class="one-column-layout" data-animate="false"> <div class="one-column-layout-container container content-width bg-none pt-none pb-none"> <div class="row" > <div class="columnContent col-12 col-md-12 offset-md-0"><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_layouts-threeColumn"> <div class="three-column-layout bg-none pt-none pb-none" data-animate="false"> <div class=""> <div class="row column-layout--row " > <div class="column1 col-12 col-md-4"><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_layouts-oneColumn"> <div class="one-column-layout" data-animate="false"> <div class="one-column-layout-container bg-none pt-none pb-none"> <div class="row" > <div class="columnContent col-12 col-md-12 offset-md-0"><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_components-photoTile"> <div class="photo-tile-container h-100 d-flex align-items-center" data-scroll-reveal="fade slow"> <div class="photo-tile position-relative w-100 h-100 none margin-none"> <figure class="photo-tile-figure w-100 h-100"> <picture> <source srcset="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dw6350e2f7/blog/2022-the-mercury-prize-celebrates/BW-BLOG-2022-mp-joycrookes.jpg?sw=2160" media="(min-width: 767px)"/> <source srcset="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dw6350e2f7/blog/2022-the-mercury-prize-celebrates/BW-BLOG-2022-mp-joycrookes.jpg?sw=1024" media="(min-width: 640px)"/> <img class="common-image-component" src="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dw6350e2f7/blog/2022-the-mercury-prize-celebrates/BW-BLOG-2022-mp-joycrookes.jpg?sw=768" style="--focal-point-x: 50%;

But with <em>Skin</em>, she has delivered a masterful blend of R&B, modern soul, and pop, making for a smooth, easy going listening experience with Crookes’ deliciously soulful vocals coming to the fore. A highly personal record, <em>Skin</em> also manages to be cuttingly political at times, and is a masterful debut.</p><h3>Self Esteem</h3><p><em>Prioritise Pleasure</em></p><p>Self Esteem’s <em>Prioritise Pleasure</em>, led by the captivating Rebecca Lucy Taylor, is 45-minutes of uninterrupted pure pop perfection. It’s so full of big singles and floor fillers that also feature many powerful and poignant messages embedded in each of the tracks, completing a musical package that makes this album thoroughly deserving of its Mercury nomination.</p><h3>Jessie Buckley & Bernard Butler</h3><p><em>For All Our Days That Tear The Heart</em></p><p>Bafta-nominated actress and former Suede guitarist combine to make one of the albums of the year. Over a dozen beautiful tracks, the pair take the listener on an enchanting journey through love, loss and everywhere in between. They take inspiration from American, Irish and English folk traditions, but this soaring album stands on its own.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_layouts-oneColumn"> <div class="one-column-layout" data-animate="false"> <div class="one-column-layout-container container content-width bg-none pt-none pb-none"> <div class="row" > <div class="columnContent col-12 col-md-12 offset-md-0"><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_layouts-threeColumn"> <div class="three-column-layout bg-none pt-none pb-none" data-animate="false"> <div class=""> <div class="row column-layout--row " > <div class="column1 col-12 col-md-4"><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_layouts-oneColumn"> <div class="one-column-layout" data-animate="false"> <div class="one-column-layout-container bg-none pt-none pb-none"> <div class="row" > <div class="columnContent col-12 col-md-12 offset-md-0"><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_components-photoTile"> <div class="photo-tile-container h-100 d-flex align-items-center" data-scroll-reveal="fade slow"> <div class="photo-tile position-relative w-100 h-100 none margin-none"> <figure class="photo-tile-figure w-100 h-100"> <picture> <source srcset="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dw60a48ded/blog/2022-the-mercury-prize-celebrates/BW-BLOG-2022-mp-gwenno.jpg?sw=2160" media="(min-width: 767px)"/> <source srcset="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dw60a48ded/blog/2022-the-mercury-prize-celebrates/BW-BLOG-2022-mp-gwenno.jpg?sw=1024" media="(min-width: 640px)"/> <img class="common-image-component" src="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dw60a48ded/blog/2022-the-mercury-prize-celebrates/BW-BLOG-2022-mp-gwenno.jpg?sw=768" style="--focal-point-x: 50%;

But this album isn’t included as a linguistic curio, <em>Tresor</em> is a wonderful collection of songs leaning into both her folk and pop sensibilities, which proves you don’t have to understand the words to enjoy the songs.</p><h3>Fergus McCreadie</h3><p><em>Forest Floor</em></p><p>Scottish pianist Fergus McCreadie’s third album is inspired by Scotland’s nature and landscape, which like this exceptional album can be both lush and craggy. Recorded as a classic jazz trio of piano, double bass and drums, <em>Forest Floor</em> is an album of primarily slower tempo, contemplative pieces, with occasional moments of intense action adding some spice to the mix.</p><h3>Wet Leg</h3><p><em>Wet Leg</em></p><p>Wet Leg’s exceptional self-titled debut album saw the Isle of Wight duo immediately break through from quirky indie act to Number 1 sensations. Some cracking and playful singles such as the viral hit <em>Chaise Longue</em> brought the band to the attention of all the major radio stations, but this album more than lived up to the promise of those early releases.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_layouts-oneColumn"> <div class="one-column-layout" data-animate="false"> <div class="one-column-layout-container container content-width bg-none pt-none pb-none"> <div class="row" > <div class="columnContent col-12 col-md-12 offset-md-0"><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_layouts-threeColumn"> <div class="three-column-layout bg-none pt-none pb-none" data-animate="false"> <div class=""> <div class="row column-layout--row " > <div class="column1 col-12 col-md-4"><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_layouts-oneColumn"> <div class="one-column-layout" data-animate="false"> <div class="one-column-layout-container bg-none pt-none pb-none"> <div class="row" > <div class="columnContent col-12 col-md-12 offset-md-0"><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_components-photoTile"> <div class="photo-tile-container h-100 d-flex align-items-center" data-scroll-reveal="fade slow"> <div class="photo-tile position-relative w-100 h-100 none margin-none"> <figure class="photo-tile-figure w-100 h-100"> <picture> <source srcset="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dw0b8e8d40/blog/2022-the-mercury-prize-celebrates/BW-BLOG-2022-mp-harrystyles.jpg?sw=2160" media="(min-width: 767px)"/> <source srcset="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dw0b8e8d40/blog/2022-the-mercury-prize-celebrates/BW-BLOG-2022-mp-harrystyles.jpg?sw=1024" media="(min-width: 640px)"/> <img class="common-image-component" src="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dw0b8e8d40/blog/2022-the-mercury-prize-celebrates/BW-BLOG-2022-mp-harrystyles.jpg?sw=768" style="--focal-point-x: 50%;

A path very few others have trod with such aplomb. <em>Harry’s House</em> is replete with catchy pop tunes, some funky soul and the occasional slower, more contemplative number. A classic summer album, that will be played long into the winter months.</p><h3>Kojey Radical</h3><p><em>Reason to Smile</em></p><p>We can’t quite believe this is Kojey Radical’s debut album. He’s been an integral part of the London music scene for a decade, and classing his previous offerings merely as EPs seems to lessen their impact. So, it’s not surprising that as a debut, this incredible mix of hip-hop, neo soul and Jazz is exceptionally mature and fully realised. A breath-taking, heady mix of insightful, poignant lyrics and well-considered collaborations.</p><h3>Yard Act</h3><p><em>The Overload</em></p><p>The most impassioned, most overtly political album on the list is also possibly the funniest. Leeds-based Yard Act’s debut is an astounding record that gets you dancing while remaining relevant and insightful. If you haven’t encountered them before, think Franz Ferdinand crossed with The Fall, and to our ears that’s a very good combination.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_layouts-oneColumn"> <div class="one-column-layout" data-animate="false"> <div class="one-column-layout-container bg-none pt-medium pb-x-small"> <div class="row" > <div class="columnContent col-12 col-md-12 offset-md-0"><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_components-titleContent"> <div class="title-container container content-width text-center text-md-center theme-dark"> <div class="animated-item" data-scroll-reveal="fade up fast each"> <div class="title-text"> <h2 class="headline3">Browse some of our related articles</h2> </div> </div> <style> </style> <div class=" "> </div> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_layouts-threeColumn"> <div class="three-column-layout bg-none pt-none pb-large" data-animate="false"> <div class="container content-width"> <div class="row column-layout--row " > <div class="column1 col-12 col-md-4"><div class="experience-component experience-aSortFirst_sound_united_components-imageAndText"> <div class="ITT-container container mobile-stack-vertical theme-dark " data-scroll-reveal="fade up fast each "> <div class="row no-gutters"> <a href="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/en-us/blog/sound-lab/celebrating-independent-record-stores.html"> <figure class="ITC-image col-12 col-md-12"> <picture> <source srcset="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dw7d74d36a/blog/celebrating-independent-record-stores/Blog-BW-Celebrating-Hero-Mobile.jpeg?sw=2160" media="(min-width: 1024px)"/> <source srcset="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dw7d74d36a/blog/celebrating-independent-record-stores/Blog-BW-Celebrating-Hero-Mobile.jpeg?sw=1024" media="(min-width: 768px)"/> <img class="common-image-component" src="https://www.bowerswilkins.com/dw/image/v2/BGJH_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-bowers_northamerica_shared/default/dw7d74d36a/blog/celebrating-independent-record-stores/Blog-BW-Celebrating-Hero-Mobile.jpeg?sw=768" style="--focal-point-x: 50%; --focal-point-y: 50%;" alt="" title="" loading="lazy" /> </picture> </figure> </a> <div class="content-information col-12 col-md-12 text-left text-md-left"> <span class="title-text w-100 headline6"> <h2 class="text-regular">Celebrating independent record stores</h2> </span> <div class="description-text p-small "> Independent record stores, like so many others, have endured a turbulent past 18 months.
