Mercury Prize Winner – Speech Debelle
Categories: New Music News

Well shiver me timbers! They’ve done it again those judges.  Pulled the woolies rrrright’outt from under us and given the prize to one of the unknowns up for the award. I think I could’ve only been more suprised if Led Bib won. Or Sweet Billy Pilgrim. And not that I have anything against Led Zep’s little bro (no, they’re not really. I just like calling them that…) ;-)

I would’ve loved to have seen the looks on the audiences faces when Speech’s name was announced oo if i had a nickel for every dropped jaw… and fake smile…

Her CD “Speech Therapy” will definitely be a ‘new’ thing – even to those in the UK where it was released only on June 1, 2009 (though singles pre-dated this).

Well, good for her (though I still think Glasvegas should’ve won).  Wonder how she’ll spend her L20,000?

Heard she wants to start her own label.
