Prestigious songwriting awards also recognise drill artists among this year’s shortlist
Adele, Ed Sheeran and Inflo, a musician billed as “the most influential and mysterious producer on the planet”, have dominated the Ivor Novello award nominations in a year in which drill artists were also recognised by the most prestigious songwriting awards in the UK.
Dean Wynton Josiah Cover, AKA Inflo, leads the award nominations, which celebrate Britain’s best songwriters and composers, with four, while Ed Sheeran – who has just won a plagiarism battle over his song Shape of You – has three nods and Adele is in the running for two awards, including songwriter of the year.
