Idles

Nominated for: Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song, Best Rock Album

TANGK - TANGK is the explosive fifth studio album by British rock band Idles. Although not something you would associate the Bristolian band with, it’s softer than their previous work. In a radical shift of mood - gratitude, love and empathy are a theme throughout, mixed with internal anger. Thanks to Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, there is far more depth and conviction. Frontman Joe Talbot states “this is our album of beauty and power”. At the fifth time of asking, Idles do not disappoint. Simply genius.

Khruangbin

Nominated for: Best New Artist

A La Sala - Musical trio Khruangbin introduce A La Sala, their fifth studio album. The album title translates "To the Room" with bassist Laura Lee saying "'A La Sala,’ I used to scream it around my house when I was a little girl, to get everybody in the living room; to get my family together”. Blending soul, dub, and rock, it’s more of the same from the Texas trio, but that's a good thing. Well crafted, focused and elegant, it’s a smooth listen from start to finish. With everything going on in the world, it’s an ethereal sound that provides a much needed break.

The Black Keys

Nominated for: Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song

Ohio Players - On their funky twelfth studio album, American rock duo the Black Keys show us first-hand how they are continuously evolving, and whilst it’s not unfamiliar, it’s certainly a step in a different direction. With their exhilarating pop-rock sound, which is full of enthusiasm, Ohio Players is reminiscent of 60's pop, featuring groovy beats, with a real variety that keeps you guessing. Whilst their new sound doesn’t sit in a particular genre, and despite it being labelled as more radio friendly than their previous records, you have to admire their longevity.

Tems

Nominated for: Best R&B Song, Best African Music Performance (WINNER), Best Global Music Album

Born in the Wild - Tems is a Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer, and her stock continues to rise as she presents her debut studio album, Born in the Wild. Speaking on what the album represents, Tems said “Born in the Wild is about survival; I was born in a survival state and raised to survive”. Pulsing bass, infectious groove and gentle acoustics feature throughout the record. Full of energy, excitement, body and soul, Tems skilfully executes her ability to mix Pop, R&B and Afrobeat. Already a well-known name in the industry, Tems is in a league of her own.
