Other nominees this year include Wolf Alice, CMAT, Myles Smith and Little Simz.

The awards recognise talented songwriters across music, television and film.

Lola Young is up for her fourth Ivor nomination, after getting three last year.

But it's the first time Olivia Dean is up for two - she's nominated for 'best album' and 'most performed work', which is the award for the song that's been played the most since last year.

Irish star CMAT is also up for best album.

Olivia Dean has won lots of awards but this would be her first Ivor Novello

Roberto Neri, chief executive of The Ivors Academy, says this year's nominations reflect the "strength, diversity and global influence" of British and Irish songwriting.

"An Ivor Novello Award has for over 70 years been the most prestigious recognition of excellence in music and I'd like to thank our judges for working hard to recognise this year's nominees," he added.
