Florence + The Machine – How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful
Out of all the award’s nominees this year, Florence is undoubtedly the most mainstream and likely to be the one that everyone recognises. However, that doesn’t mean she is any less deserving of the award than anyone else. Her album How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful is her third and has been described by the awards’ judging panel as “a great pop album, packed full of ideas. Powerful, dramatic and exhilarating”.
