Yep, pretty much the same thing (except APRA has members from both New Zealand and Australia, and holds separate awards for the latter. Those run slightly more mainstream; a lot of repeated Sia love etc.). And yeah, that shortlist is phenomenal. The first time the shortlist has gone completely misandrist I think, and no reason to turn back really.Life Of The Party has just been announced as one of the 5 finalists for the APRA Silver Scroll, which I take to be like a New Zealand Ivor Novello Award celebrating excellence in songwriting? (@beyoncésweave help?)
The five shortlisted artists and songs are:
Chelsea Jade - Life Of The Party
Lorde - Green Light
Bic Runga - Close Your Eyes
Aldous Harding - Horizon
Nadia Reid - Richard

Whew we love talent!
If you wanted talent talking about talent, check out this little feature on the shortlistees, which includes Chelsea being honoured by Queen/Goddess/Light Of My Life Bic herself.
