Words: Binna Kim

The biggest night in music for artists and producers alike, the Grammy Awards will air its 61st annual ceremony on February 10. The Recording Academy formally released its nominations for the 2019 Grammy Awards.

Zedd is notably the sole electronic artist to secure a nomination outside of the Grammy’s dance focused category, ‘Best dance recording.’ Zedd will face off with Cardi B and Drake for ‘Record of the year,’ thanks to his collaborative effort with Maren Morris and Grey on ‘The Middle.’ Zedd will also compete with Childish Gambino, Brandi Carlile, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, Kendrick Lamar and SZA, and Post Malone, who also received nominations within the category. Zedd is also up for two other Grammy awards on behalf of ‘The Middle,’ including ‘Song of the year’ and ‘Best pop duo/group performance.’ The three collective nominations make Zedd the electronic producer with the most Grammy Award nominations for the 2019 ceremony.

Above & Beyond, Disclosure, FISHER, Silk City & Dua Lipa, and Virtual Self will battle it out in the ‘Best dance recording’ category, for ‘Northern Soul,’ ‘Ultimatum,’ ‘Losing It,’ ‘Electricity,’ and ‘Ghost Voices,’ respectively. Meanwhile, the ‘Best dance album’ feature dives a bit more into the avant-garde side of electronica, with Jon Hopkins’ stunning LP Singularity stealing a nomination, along with edit album Woman Worldwide by Justice, Sofi Tukker‘s Treehouse, TOKiMONSTA‘s Lune Rouge, and SOPHIE’s Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides.

More electronic artists have been nominated in the ‘Best remix recording’ category, in which can be seen remixes of LSD’s ‘Audio’ by CID, Charlie Puth’s ‘How Long’ by EDX, Gabriel & Dresden’s ‘Only Road’ by Cosmic Gate, Kygo’s ‘Stargazing’ by Kaskade and HAIM’s ‘Walking Away’ by Mura Masa.
