Michael Kiwanuka has won this year's Mercury Prize for his latest album 'Kiwanuka'. So that's good, isn't it? Good job it didn't go to that one awful act on the shortlist or I would have been very cross.
"I don't even know what to say - I'm speechless", said Kiwanuka after being announced as the winner. "This is amazing… I don’t even have any words. This is ridiculous, it's crazy! I’m so happy. Third time's a charm. It's blown my mind. I’m over the moon, I'm so excited - this is for art, for music, for albums. This is the only thing I've ever wanted to do, so to win a Mercury is a dream come true. I’m so happy. Music and art means so much to me, and this is an award that celebrates that, so I’m over the moon".
As he noted among all those adjectives, this is the third time that Kiwanuka has been nominated for the prize and the first time that he has won it. By breaking that run, it also meant that Laura Marling has now been nominated for the prize four times without winning.
She's not yet the artist who's scored the most nominations without winning though - that accolade is still held by Radiohead, with five nods and no trophy. Nearly there though!
Kiwanuka will appear on a special edition of 'Later... With Jools Holland' on BBC Two tonight.
