Harry Styles, Sam Fender, and Little Simz were among the 2022 Mercury Prize winners announced on July 26, 2010, and the shortlist included Harry Styles, Sam Fender, and Little Simz. It's arguably the most comprehensive list in recent years, spanning everything from rap to Cornish folk-rock. Styles' album "Harry's Home" is the most pop album to have made the cut, while Fender's "Seventeen Going Under" marks his debut in Mercury Prize competition. Following her 2019 nomination for her album, "Grey Area," Gwenno's album "Tresor," which is performed almost entirely in Cornish, is on the list, as is Little Simz' second nomination, following her nomination for her album, "Grey Area."
