Smith faces Sheeran for Brit
Soul singer Smith, 22, is in the running for prizes such as best male, best album, and best newcomer at the prize bash to be staged next month — a year after he collected the Critics’ Choice title.
Rock duo Royal Blood will compete for a trio of awards, while singer Jess Glynne also finds her name on the shortlists three times as a guest vocalist on singles by Route 94 and Clean Bandit.
