Following on from the nominations for Irish Artist of the Year, Irish Breakthrough Artist shortlist and the big prize for Irish album of the year, the Choice Music Prize has released the Song of the Year shortlist.
Song of the Year is chosen both by choices nominated by the judges (of which I am on the panel) and RTÉ, and unlike the other categories, the winner is decided by a public vote only.
The shortlist is as follows (alphabetical order):
Jordan Adetunji – Kehlani
