‘Twice As Tall‘, an album by Burna Boy, Nigerian singer, has
been nominated for the 2021 BRIT Awards.
Organisers of the award — sometimes referred to as the
British version of the Grammys — unveiled the nominees on Wednesday.
The ‘Ye’ crooner was nominated for the ‘International Male Solo Artist’ category alongside The Weeknd, Bruce Springsteen, Childish Gambino and Tame Impala.

Other categories of the award include ‘Mastercard Album of
the Year,’ ‘Song of the Year,’ ‘Best New Artist,’ ‘Male Solo Artist,’ ‘Female
Solo Artist,’ ‘Best Group,’ ‘International Female,’ and ‘Rising Star.’
This year’s edition of the award ceremony is billed to hold
on May 11 after the initial delay caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
This is the second consecutive time the musician will be
nominated for the award.
He was nominated for the same category last year
for ‘African Giant’, his 2019 album, but lost to Tyler The Creator,
American singer-songwriter.
The nomination further stretches what has been an impressive
run for ‘Twice As Tall’ since its release in 2020.
It comes about two weeks after it snagged the
‘Best Global Music Album’ category at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
