HIDDEN GEMS Grammy Edition
“Music’s biggest night” (take a drink) seems to be all about the radio– abused mainstream jams. In the spirit of fairness, here are some selections from nominated artists that aren't criminally overplayed. Sorry "Wake Me Up," everyone is over it. James Blake Nomination: Best New Artist Download: “40455” With renowned hits like “Limit To Your Love” and “Life Round Here,” this new neo–jazz gem digs deep into our hearts. Lana Del Rey Nomination: Best Pop Vocal Album Download: “The Man I Love” Allow Lana’s sweet vocals to deliver goose bumps down your body in one of her most impassioned songs to date. Kanye West Nomination: Best Rap Album Download: “White Dress” A predecessor to the empowering tracks we know from “Yeezus,” this hidden gem offers a more soulful backdrop to Kanye’s usual pointed lyrics.
Jack White Nomination: Best Rock Performance Download: “Weep Themselves to Sleep” A celebratory anthem with a fiery bass solo, this 2012 song delivers the riotous post–punk elements that got this art school rocker nominated in the first place. Kendrick Lamar Nomination: Best Rap Performance Download:“HiiiPower” In preaching the value of a rich mind and spirit while addressing issues of race and politics, Kendrick pushes for a movement to revive morality and reminds us to leave a positive footprint on humanity. Also, he knows you want this DICK.
