Kendrick Lamar he was the second most nominated with eight mentions. Adele and Brandi Carlile they received seven each. Harry Styles, Mary J. Blige, Future, DJ Khaled, The-Dream and mastering engineer Randy Merrill they received six each.
Nearly half of the year’s top nominees, announced by artists like Olivia Rodrigo, John Legend, Machine Gun Kelly and Smokey Robinson, are women and more than half are people of color, according to the Recording Academy.
“This makes me very proud, but it also makes me aware that we must continue the work we have been doing,” said Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy.
Mason added it progress has been made in the voting system and in increasing the membership of the academy, but believes that further progress can still be made.
“This year I am satisfied with the result and the work done by the voters – he added -. We now have almost 13,000 voters. It is really important work. I am pleased to think that you have spent some time listening to the music and evaluating it. I think you you show because of the type of nominations that they weren’t just for popular music or music that has a lot of performances. It’s just great quality music.”
new items
The Academy added an award for Song for Social Change e five new competitive categoriesincluding Composer of the Year, which Mason says will help diversify the 65th annual awards.
The Non-Classical Composer category will recognize an individual who has been the “most prolific” composer, without being a performer or producer, for their new works during one year of eligibility. The approach is different from the song of the year award which recognizes composers of the lyrics or melodies of a song.
Mason said the implementation of the songwriter category is a major step forward for the music industry. Last year, a rules update allowed any songwriter, producer, engineer or artist of a work nominated for album of the year to be nominated.
“The academy and voters have placed great importance on the art of composition,” Mason said of the new category in which nominees include The-Dream, Amy Allen, Nija Charles, Tobias Jesso Jr. and Laura Veltz. songwriter, I’m happy to see him as such a big part of our process. We realize that compounding is at the heart of our industry. It is one of the building blocks of any artist’s career.”
