Pan-European indie labels trade group IMPALA has announced the nominees for this year’s European Independent Album Of The Year Award. Representing the UK, which remains European no matter what you say, is Little Simz with her latest album ‘Grey Area’.

“This is a great shortlist, with 22 nominees from all over the European continent”, comments IMPALA Executive Chair Helen Smith. “Our album award is an excellent discovery tool. It symbolises creativity without borders. Now it’s for the jury to decide [on an overall winner] and it is going to be a difficult task this year”.
