Speech Debelle wins 2009 Mercury Music Prize
September 9th, 2009
Last night rank outsider Speech Debelle scooped this year’s Mercury Music Prize which awards the best British album from the last 12 months. Opinion was largely divided in to three camps in the Shazam office on whether the winner would be Florence & The Machine, Friendly Fires or The Horrors. However one fairly vocal lone voice in the office continually insisted Speech Debelle would win, and who’d have thought it, her opinions were rightly vindicated.
Anyway, congratulations to Speech Debelle, as you can see from the below video, it’s not just her fans that were assured of her success…
