Kate Bush is being recognised for her 1985 song
"Running Up That Hill" which enjoyed a resurgence in popularity
last year thanks to Netflix show "Stranger Things", the UK-based
Ivors Academy said on Tuesday evening.
The track will compete against Styles' mega hit "As It Was" in
the most performed work category, which also includes Glass
Animals' "Heat Waves" and two songs by hitmaker Ed Sheeran,
"Shivers" and "Bad Habits".
Sheeran won the category last year with "Bad Habits" and it is
the first time the same song has been nominated for the award
two years running.
Styles has three nominations overall, including best song
musically and lyrically for "As It Was" and songwriter of the
year alongside his collaborator Kid Harpoon.
That category also includes singer Florence Welch, Wet Leg duo
Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, George Daniel and Matty
Healy of pop rock group The 1975 and rapper Central Cee with
collaborator Young Chencs.
Album of the year contenders include rock group Arctic Monkeys'
"The Car", Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C.'s "Skinty Fia"
and Nigerian-born artist Obongjayar's "Some Nights I Dream of
Doors".
Rapper Little Simz's album "No Thank You" and music collective
Sault's "11" are also nominated, both with credits for
singer-songwriter Cleo Sol and producer Dean “Inflo” Josiah
Cover. The duo have three nominations overall.
Tom Odell’s "Best Day of My Life", Katie Gregson-Macleod’s
"complex", Sault's "Stronger" and Florence + the Machine’s
"King" complete the Best Song Musically and Lyrically category.
"The music nominated for an Ivor Novello this year is testament
to the power and range of British and Irish songwriting and
screen composing," Tom Gray, chair of The Ivors Academy, said in
a statement. "It’s a superlative list."Box office hit "Avatar:
The Way of Water" and psychological drama "Don't Worry Darling"
are among the nominees for best original film score.
Named after the early 20th century Welsh composer, actor and
entertainer Ivor Novello, the Ivor Awards were first handed out
in 1956. This year's awards take place on May 18 in London.
