PJ Harvey and her brilliant Let England Shake album. Hurrah!
The British singer-songwriter is the first artist to win the coveted award twice.
Accepting the honour, PJ commented, "It's really good to be here this evening, because when I last won 10 years ago I was in Washington DC watching the Pentagon burning from my hotel window. So much has happened since then. This album took me a long time to write. It was very important to me. I wanted to make something meaningful, not just for myself but for other people, and hopefully to make something that would last."
Congratulations, PJ Harvey. A well-deserved win.
