Well last night the judges deliberated, talked and finally decided that the winner of this year’s Mercury Music Prize is …………………….Speeck Debelle with her album “Speech Therapy”.
She takes home the usual prize money of £20,000 and the hopefulness of scoring a chart entry this week with the album.
Other acts which were up for the prize included La Roux, Kasabian & Bat For Lashes.
She said afterwards that her win proved “if you believe in something and you think you can do it, you can. I feel so good, it feels better than I imagined.”
