" James Blake&amp;#039;s album Overgrown has won the Mercury Prize 2013. The electronic music producer and singer-songwriter beat the likes of Laura Mvula, Disclosure and David Bowie to the \u00C2\u00A320,000 award at London&amp;#039;s Roundhouse tonight (October 30).  &amp;amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s review of Overgrown Speaking on stage after collecting his trophy, Blake said: &amp;quot;Well, I lost a bet... on the other hand, I should thank a couple of people. &amp;quot;Thank you to my parents for showing me the importance of being independent.&amp;quot; Blake, who was also nominated in 2011 for his self-titled debut album, added to DS and other reporters: &amp;quot;It felt different this year. It&amp;#039;s less nerve-wracking and much less daunting. I feel like I have the event a bit more sussed out. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve got no idea why the judges nominated my record. If I could tell you that I&amp;#039;d be able to write another one!&amp;quot; Asked what he will spend his \u00C2\u00A320,000 on, he joked: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m going to spend the money on a crazy golf course for my front garden. I&amp;#039;m not even a fan. The obstacles will be all the other artists in the competition just holding miniature golf clubs. Either way I&amp;#039;ll be getting drunk tonight!&amp;quot; James Blake performs &amp;#039;Retrograde&amp;#039; at the Mercury Prize 2013 nominations announcement:      Talking about his future material, Blake added: &amp;quot;For my next album, I want to write a good one. That&amp;#039;s all really - to make it even better than this one.&amp;quot; Mercury Prize host Lauren Laverne earlier suffered a slip-up at the event, introducing Blake as James Blunt. In its review of the album, Digital Spy called Overgrown &amp;quot;late night music for the digital age&amp;quot;. DS readers had voted David Bowie&amp;#039;s The Next Day to win the award. Arctic Monkeys, Foals, Jake Bugg, Jon Hopkins, Rudimental, Savages, Laura Marling and Villagers were also nominated.
