Lewis Capaldi and rapper Dave take top prizes at politically-charged Brit Awards
Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi and soulful London rapper Dave took top prizes Tuesday at the UK music industry’s Brit Awards, where Dave brought some political edge to the glossy talent parade.
Grime artist Stormzy was named British male artist of the year, the second time he has won the award. Singer-songwriter Mabel, daughter of musician Neneh Cherry, was named UK female solo artist of the year. This year organisers culled several awards categories to make more room for performances, including turns by Capaldi, Mabel and Harry Styles.
Eilish, who has spoken off her mental health struggles, told the audience: "I have felt very hated recently.” Marr said the choice of Eilish to write and perform the theme to the next Bond thriller was “a very cool and smart choice.”Singer Celeste was named rising star, Foals was declared band of the year, and the award for international male solo artist went to Tyler the Creator. He sardonically thanked former Prime Minister Theresa May for banning him from entering Britain five years ago.
