The 2020 Grammy Nominations have been announced. There’s history making nominations that include record breaking artists of this past year….yes its basically over people. Leading the nominations are Lizzo and Billie Eilish, both nabbing nominations for the big awards.
Lizzo is up for Album of the Year, Record of the yeard, Song Of the year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Urban Contemporary Album to name a few because her breakthrough album Cuz I Love You landed her with different genre nominations.
Billie Eilish makes history by being the youngest artist to receive a nomination for Record, Album, Song Of the year and Best New Artist.
Elsewhere making history: Rosalía is the first artist to be nominated as Best New Artist with an album entirely in spanish. Shes also nominated for Best Latin Rock/Alternative album with El Mal Querer (likely to win) and she’s feautured in James Blake’s also nominated album Assume Form.
The Cranberries earn their first nom in Best Rock Album with In The End, Dolores O'Riordan last recording.
Bon Iver , Lana del Rey, and Vampire Weekend are all nominees for major categories. Come on Lana !
Other note worthy nominees include:
Maggie Rogers, The 1975, Brittany Howard, The Chemical Brothers, Bonobo, Flume, Karen O & Danger Mouse, Thom Yorke, Big Thief, Sara Bareilles, Andrew Bird, Taron Egerton (yup he’s nominated for the Rocketman soundtrack), aaaand the Game of Thrones’ Season 8 score.
So very sad to learn about Dolores O'Riordan passing. I remember listening to ‘Everyone Else Is Doing It So Why Can’t We’ for the first time and falling in love with her voice.
