FKA Twigs‘ LP1 is the early favourite for the Mercury Music Prize.

The Young Turks-signed singer has been cut from 7/1 to 3/1 at William Hill, with “a number of three figure bets” coming in for her after yesterday’s nominations were announced.

Paddy Power and Betfair also have Twigs favourite, at 7/2 and 3/1 respectively. William Hill, Betfair and Paddy Power all have Kate Tempest second favourite, at 4/1, 4/1 and 9/2 respectively, and Royal Blood as third.
