Who? Bat For Lashes aka Natasha Khan.
What? Second album Two Suns released on 6 April 2009 through Parlophone Records.
Why? Singles Daniel and Pearl’s Dream are but two snippets of one of the most gorgeously ethereal and decadent records of the year so far. Plus having been odds on favourite in 2007 for debut Fur And Gold the Prize somehow ended up with the Klaxons. She’s probably owed one.
Why not? The competition is arguably fiercer than two years ago. In order to win Miss Khan must negotiate her was past Ms Welch. The flame haired, Brit Award winning warbler is an industry darling and the bookmakers early favourite.
Odds? 6/1 (William Hill)

Two Suns is a wonderful album and equal to Fur And Gold. If it doesn’t win this year there is no justice. Especially if it goes to Kasabian (a great band with a woeful album).

She’s cute, too. Which means a lot.

Yeah if there is one thing we have all learned from the Susan Boyle experience, how you look has a direct influence on how well you can sing.
