The 28-year-old, previously nominated in 2019 for album "Grey Area", was among favourites to scoop the award for her critically-acclaimed record. Like other nominees, Little Simz took to the stage at Tuesday's ceremony, originally due to be held last month but postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth. "Supernova" by rock duo Nova Twins, musician Self Esteem's "Prioritise Pleasure", singer-songwriter Sam Fender's chart-topping "Seventeen Going Under", Wet Leg's hit self-titled debut album and post-punk Yard Act's debut album "The Overload" completed the list.
