My heart says Damon Albarn. My mind suggests FKA twigs. Or is it the other way round? Anyway, all albums are available on Spotify: you can taste them and decide which is your loved one in the first playlist below. The other playlists are two mammoth I'm keeping updated for some years: a collection of all Mercury Prize winning albums in history (1992-2013) and an even bigger archive of all shortlisted albums (1992-2014). If you wanna make a real UK&Ireland sonic indigestion, be my guest!
