Recently, the Grammys have surprised its viewers by putting new artists on the radar. Last year, they brought us Arcade Fire. This year, Mumford & Sons and Bon Iver both grace the nominee list for Record of the Year.
We at Sound Images like to experiment musically. Seeing the same names on the list year after year really bums us out, especially when there is so much incredible music out there that gets no recognition. Luckily for us, the Grammy nominators are using their far-reaching powers to direct the public’s attention to otherwise little-known artists by adding their names to the list.
Adele, Bruno Mars, and Katy Perry have become household names because of their radio domination, so it will be no surprise to see these folks win. Hopefully, this year will bring another big win to someone whom a lot of people have never heard, like Arcade Fire last year.
Challenge: before the Grammys air February 12, 2012, listen to some artists on the nomination list. Not only will you broaden your musical horizons, but we bet you’ll find an artist that you love who you’ve never considered before.
