The Grammys, an awards show created to acclaim artists and producers for their accomplishments, will be airing on February 4, 2024. Let’s look at the nominees in the major categories, along with my award predictions and standouts.<\/p>\n
Record of the Year<\/strong><\/p>\n “Worship” \u2014 Jon Batiste You may recognize Jon Batiste from his many wins at the 2022 Grammys, but his new music did not receive nearly as much attention as his album, We Are<\/em>. For this reason, I don\u2019t believe he\u2019ll be taking the win for this category. Out of these options, \u201cKill Bill\u201d is my prediction – SZA\u2019s album took over the world upon its release, with this lead single being no exception.<\/p>\n Album of the Year<\/strong><\/p>\n World Music Radio<\/em> \u2014 Jon Batiste In my opinion, this is one of the best albums that the Grammys have chosen in recent years by far. Though this may be controversial to some, I don\u2019t believe that Midnights<\/em> deserves the win in this category. It\u2019s a fun return to the pop genre for Swift, but compared to some of her other works as well as the others in this category, it falls short. Despite this, it is my prediction for this category, as Taylor Swift has taken the world by storm and this album broke nearly every record in the books.<\/p>\n My favorite out of these categories is boygenius\u2019 the record<\/em>, but the Grammys are known for their disfavor of Indie and Alternative music in the general categories, so they are less likely to win here. Another standout in this category is Lana Del Ray\u2019s Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd<\/em>, but for the same reasoning as boygenius, I don\u2019t believe this will take home the win.<\/p>\n Song of the Year<\/strong><\/p>\n “A&W” \u2014 Lana Del Rey For the same reasons that I believe Swift will win Album of the Year, I predict she will win this category as well. \u201cAnti-Hero\u201d broke records and took over the world, serving as the heart and soul of her Midnights<\/em> album. However, \u201cA&W\u201d absolutely deserves the win in this category. Throughout the entirety of Lana Del Ray\u2019s career, she\u2019s been snubbed from Grammys, but this song is one of her most deserving from her entire discography.<\/p>\n Best New Artist<\/strong><\/p>\n Gracie Abrams If Ice Spice doesn\u2019t win this category, it\u2019s a national travesty. Though Noah Kahan and Victoria Mon\u00e9t deserve acclaim, they don\u2019t hold a candle to Ice Spice\u2019s impact this year. It was nearly impossible to exist in 2023 without hearing some of her music, whether \u201cBoys a Liar,\u201d \u201cBarbie World,\u201d or one of her many other hits.<\/p>\n Overall, the Grammys lineup this year is one of the best in recent years. Of all artists nominated this year, my standouts are SZA and boygenius. SZA has a total of nine nominations this year and boygenius has seven. SZA dominated the pop culture world this year with her first album release since 2017, SOS, containing multiple hits with incredible production and overall quality. The lead single off her new album, \u201cKill Bill\u201d, has already received numerous awards and is bound to secure more in the Grammys.<\/p>\n Though SZA\u2019s album is amazingly constructed and well-made, my standout and favorite out of all the nominations this year has to be boygenius. If you haven\u2019t already given their debut album, the record<\/em>, a listen, I highly recommend it. It\u2019s a beautiful collection of songs from a band comprised of Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus – all critically acclaimed artists with stunning lyricism and hard-hitting themes. Bridgers has received Grammy nominations in the past for her album Punisher, but the group\u2019s return to music after the release of their 2018 EP deserves more acclaim than I believe the Grammys will give them.<\/p>\n Though I have many predictions for this year\u2019s Grammys, I would not be surprised if the unexpected occurs and every one of my guesses is incorrect. The Grammys has never been uneventful, with this year being no exception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Grammys, an awards show created to acclaim artists and producers for their accomplishments, will be airing on February 4, 2024.
