Her er årets Grammy-nomineringer

Kendrick Lamar fører feltet

Årets Grammy-nomineringer er netop offentliggjort. Kendrick Lamar fører feltet med otte nomineringer foran Drake med syv, folkrock-singer-songwriteren Brandi Carlile og hiphop- og r&b-produceren Boi-1da med hver seks og Cardi B og Childish Gambino med fem. Hiphop-genren må altså siges at være stærkt repræsenteret.

Som noget nyt er antallet af nominerede i nogle af de vigtigste kategorier øget fra fem til otte. De prestigefyldte priser uddeles 10. februar i Los Angeles.

Blandt overraskelserne kan nævnes, at Taylor Swifts Reputation-album kun har fået én nominering, til "Best Pop Album", på trods af at hendes forrige album, 1989, vandt hovedprisen Album of the Year i 2016, og i øvrigt også "Best Pop Album". Kanye West har også kun fået én nominering, som Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, selvom han både har udgivet soloalbummet Ye og duoprojektet Kids See Ghosts med Kid Cudi.

De nominerede i de vigtigste kategorier er følger nedenfor. Kategorien Song of the Year er møntet på sangskrivere, mens Record of the Year hylder de udøvende kunstnere.

Nomineringerne er baseret på musikudgivelser i perioden 1. oktober 2017-30. september 2018, og derfor kan for eksempel Lukas Graham ikke nomineres i år. For to år siden var bandet nomineret til tre Grammyer, men vandt dog ingen.

Der er i øvrigt to danske nominerede navne i år, begge i de klassiske kategorier. Den Danske Strygekvartet er nomineret i kategorien "Best Chamber Music" for deres album Prism, hvor de fortolker musik for fire strygere af Beethoven, Sjostakovitj og Bach. Dirigenten Thomas Dausgaard er sammen med Seattle Symphony Orchestra indstillet i kategorien Best Orchestral Performance for deres indspilning af Carl Nielsens Symfoni nummer 3 og 4.
