Four years after his triumph at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Montrealer Louis Kevin Celestin, aka Kaytranada, will try to surpass himself. Winner in 2021 of the Grammy trophies for best dance-electronic album (for Bubba) and Best Dance Recording (for the song 10 %), Kaytra was nominated in three categories, including best dance-electro album for Timelesspublished last June. Maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin shines again with three nominations in two categories.
The competition will be fierce for Kaytranada at the gala on February 2. For the Grammy for best dance-electro album, he will face Charli XCX (Brat), at Four Tet (Three), to the French duo Justice (Hyperdrama) and EDM heavyweight Zedd (Telos). For that of the best dance-electro recording, in addition to those of Four Tet and Justice, his song Witchy (with Childish Gambino) will compete against the compositions of Disclosure and Fred Again… and Baby Keem.
Finally, the Montrealer is in the running in the category of best remixed recording for his work on Alter Egosong by American rapper Doechii (duet with JT). David Guetta, Mark Ronson x FNZ (for their remix of the success of the summer, Espressoby Sabrina Carpenter), AG Cook, as well as Alexx Antaeus, Footsteps & MrMyish are also nominated.
Already accustomed to honors from the Recording Academy, conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin has been nominated three times, but in two categories: twice for the Grammy for best opera recording — each time conducting the orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera — for Catan: Florence in the Amazon et Puts: The Hours.
We finally find it in the running for the prize for best soundtrack for visual media (“ best compilation soundtrack for visual media “) for his work on the film Maestro: Music by Leonard Bernsteinby Bradley Cooper; Nézet-Séguin worked on this project with the London Symphony Orchestra.
We should also highlight the first career nomination of Montreal pop singer-songwriter Sara Diamond, whose name appears alongside those of her co-authors for one of the works in the running in the best R&B song category, namely Here We Go (Uh Oh)by singer Coco Jones. Hockey fans may remember Sara Diamond for her renditions of the national anthems during Montreal Canadiens games at the Bell Center around ten years ago.
The unveiling of the nominations took place Friday morning, first recognizing the work of the musicians. Beyoncé landed 11 nominations; Billie Eilish and Charli XCX collected seven; Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Taylor Swift will have the chance to win six golden gramophones. Among men, Post Malone and Kendrick Lamar stand out with seven nominations each, while the Beatles, resurrected by song Now and Thenare nominated in the categories of Recording of the Year and Best Rock Performance.
