Mercury Prize Pocket Guides: Part 1

Mercury Prize 2022

Matt Everitt profiles this year's Mercury Prize nominees: Fergus McCreadie, Gwenno, Harry Styles, and Jessie Buckley & Bernard Butler.

In the first part of three pocket guides, Matt Everitt profiles four of this year鈥檚 Mercury Award nominated albums, with archive interviews and deep cuts.

The first album he covers is by award-winning pianist Fergus McCreadie. Forest Floor is his third album, and it鈥檚 a collection of dreamy jazz music created with his regular trio of bassist David Bowden and drummer Stephen Henderson.

Gwenno鈥檚 Tresor, is named after the Cornish word for 鈥榯reasure鈥�. The Welsh singer grew up in a Cornish speaking family and it鈥檚 a tribute to both her family and her Cornish roots.

One Direction star Harry Styles recorded his latest album in a friend鈥檚 front room. The result is a thoughtful pop album that blends influences from Japanese City Pop and R&B.

The last album is a collaboration between actress Jessie Buckley and former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler. Entitled, For All Our Days That Tear the Heart, it鈥檚 their debut album together and mixes English, Irish, American and Spanish folk with hints of classics from the 1970s.
