Corinne Bailey Rae explained to Absolute Radio how it feels to be nominated for the Barclaycard Mercury Prize 2010, and whether it puts more pressure on her for the next album. “It means a lot to me,” Corinne said of the nomination at The Hospital Club in Covent Garden. “The new record is really different to my first album and it really is an album that I’ve written all the songs myself. Co-produced it. It’s more of an aggressive record. It’s more guitar based. It means a lot to me because it means people have heard it I guess and they’ve had some kind of connection with it.” Watch the interview via YouTube below.

Dizzee Rascal talked to Absolute Radio at the Barclaycard Mercury Prize 2010 nominations. The British rapper predicted whether he’d be the first artist to ever win the prize twice and talked about headlining Glastonbury one day. “It’s an achievement to be nominated again, especially since this album is independent, so it means my most popular album is independent, but the quality hasn’t gone down, because I’m still getting Mercury nominations.” Watch the comments via YouTube below.
