Saluting Speech Debelle


Last night Speech Debelle won the only major music award worth winning, the Mercury Music Prize (not least of all because it gets you actual cash). I can't comment extensively on the album as i don't have a copy other than to say that all the tracks i've heard has been sounding fresh.

You can watch the whole thing on the BBC iplayer.

No doubt it'll be a great boost for her and the ever strong Big Dada label. Lets hope her career now mirrors previous winner Dizzee Rascal, in it's levels of success and not Mercury alumni, Ms Dynamite.
