Here's a transcript of today's podcast:
Adele, Inflo and Ed Sheeran are leading the way for this year's Ivor Novello Award nominations. Producer and songwriter Inflo, who worked on Adele's most recent album 30, is the most nominated artists with four nods, while Ed follows with three thanks to his songs Shivers and Bad Habits being recognised and the singer being nominated for Songwriter of the year. Meanwhile Adele and rapper Little Simz both secured two nods.
Speaking of Adele, the singer has clearly inspired Nicki Minaj as the Superbass star couldn't resist doing an impression of Adele during her recent carpool karaoke with James Corden. Nicki told the late night TV host she loved watching Adele perform her song Monster in a video which went viral in 2016, before going on to impersonate the Easy on Me star's immediately recognisable accent. Nicki then sang her own version of Someone Like You, and we're sure Adele would approve!
