NEW GRAMMY CATEGORIES

Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical: Recognizes the written excellence, profession and art of songwriting, honoring the most prolific non-performing and non-producing songwriters for their body of new work released during an eligibility year

Best Alternative Music Performance: A track and single category that recognizes the best recordings in an alternative performance by a solo artist, collaborating artists, established duo or established group

Best Americana Performance: A track and single category that recognizes artistic excellence in an Americana performance by a solo artist, collaborating artists, established duo or established group

Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media: Recognizes excellence in score soundtrack albums comprised predominately of original scores and created specifically for, or as a companion to, a current video game or other interactive media released within the qualification period

Best Spoken Word Poetry Album: An album category that recognizes excellence in spoken-word albums specific to the performance of poetry with or without music

SPECIAL MERIT AWARD ADDITION

Best Song for Social Change: This award will be determined by a blue-ribbon committee and ratified by the Academy’s Board of Trustees. Submissions must contain lyrical content that addresses a timely social issue and promotes understanding, “peace-building” and empathy.

CATEGORIES AND FIELDS WITH CHANGES

Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media: Some language in the criteria for this category (including film, TV, video games and other visual media) that had been removed has now been restored to recognize principal artists and in-studio producers.

Best Remixed Recording: The newly amended definition helps to reflect the remix craft as it currently stands in the industry: the creation of a new, full-track, unique performance created by a remixer from a previously released recording.

New Age, Ambient or Chant Field: The category formerly known as Best New Age Album has been renamed Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album and the field name has also been updated to reflect that change.

Best Musical Theater Album: The category definition has been updated to award composers and lyricists of more than 50% of the score of a new recording.

Spoken Word Field: The category formally known as Spoken Word Album has been renamed Best Audio Book, Narration & Storytelling Recording. This category recognizes excellence in spoken-word albums (not including Spoken Word Poetry).

Classical Field: Three categories will now be determined by Craft Committees: Producer of the Year (Classical), Best Engineered Album (Classical) and Best Contemporary Classical Composition.

Why does Spoken Word field not include Spoken word poetry? 

Posted

It's quite stupid not to include the songwriting of their own songs :rip: It's more like "Songwriter [for others] of the year" :rip:

They need to be removing categories, not adding more. The video games one is the only one that makes sense imo

Yeah they were always eligible there but never stood a chance against film and TV music so it’s nice they’ll get guaranteed exposure. I think the new alternative category was also needed since artists would send their songs to the rock field

out of curiosity, #1s this decade with female lead credits, what songwriters would be eligible:

we don't talk about bruno: NONE

all i want for christmas is you: NONE

easy on me: NONE

good 4 u: well...technically paramore, months after the release, but i don't believe samples count

drivers license: NONE

willow: NONE

cardigan: NONE

 

 

All Too Well: Liz Rose

save your tears remix: belly, daheala

up: baker, thorpe

wap: rodriguez, thorpe

trollz: clarke

say so: asrat

stuck with you:

savage:

rain on me:

positions: 

  • Angelina Barrett
  • Brian Vincent Bates
  • Nija Charles
  • James Jarvis

 

thorpe aka pardison fontaine seems pretty prominent.

vma's equivalent category for social change was:

Billie Eilish – "Your Power"

Demi Lovato – "Dancing with the Devil"

H.E.R. – "Fight for You"

Kane Brown – "Worldwide Beautiful"

Lil Nas X – "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)"

Pharrell Williams (featuring Jay-Z) – "Entrepreneur"

 

so it could have been billie v. her.

Songwriter of the year will be only awarded to non performing and non producing songwriters. Learn how to read first before you drag

To many words. I prefer to read the title and jump to the comments :bam: Anyways those exclusions make it boring which the grammys already is :bird:. Also was that really much of a drag? Id brag about writing my songs too. Speaking of bragging i got a 3 dollar raise today at work and im over the moon :gaygacat5:
