Her track, "Next To Me", is in the running to be named best song musically and lyrically after it was shortlisted along with "Laura" by Bat For Lashes and Jake Bugg's "Two Fingers".

The same song is also shortlisted for most performed work along with Olly Murs' "Dance With Me Tonight" and "Paradise" by Coldplay.

The annual awards - in their 58th year - are highly prized because they are voted for by songwriters and composers.

They will be handed out at a ceremony at the Grosvenor House hotel in central London on Thursday 16 May.

Mercury Prize winners Alt-J are also recognised, with Fitzpleasure up for best contemporary song along with Plan B's Ill Manors and Pelican by the Maccabees.

An Awesome Wave, the album that won the Mercury Prize for Alt-J, is shortlisted with Ben Howard's Every Kingdom and Lianne La Havas' Is Your Love Big Enough? for the album award.
