Little Simz by Jack Bridgland
Little Simz and Dave have been honoured with Ivor Novello awards after the 2020 ceremony took place remotely yesterday.
Little Simz won in the Best Album category thanks to Grey Area, while Dave’s Black was named Best Contemporary Song. “We’ve got a good number of first-time nominees,” Ivors Academy CEO Graham Davies had told Music Week when the nominations were revealed in July.
“What probably sticks out the most is the importance of the lyric, as spoken word and rap continues on from last year. The Ivors is at the forefront of recognising trends, and that’s an important one.”
