Back in June, the Polaris Music Prize revealed its 40 album long list. Today, it revealed its shortlist, narrowing down the potential winners to 10.
The winner is selected by a jury made up of 205 members of Canadian music media and is decided by quality rather than popularity.
Among the shortlisted nominees are Daniel Caesar for his Never Enough album, Debby Friday for Good Luck, Snotty Nose Rez Kids for I'm Good, HBU?, Gayance for Mascarade and more.
