La Recording Academy ha ufficializzato le nomination ai Grammy del 2023, con Beyoncé che ha riscritto un’altra pagina di storia.
Con 88 nomination complessive, è diventata l’artista più candidata di sempre insieme a suo marito Jay-Z. 9 quelle di quest’anno, per andare a rimpinzare un bottino che già oggi l’ha vista trionfare 28 volte. Dietro Beyoncé troviamo Kendrick Lamar con otto candidature.
Boom di nomination (7) anche per Adele, arrivata a 25 complessive, mentre l’Italia festeggia i Maneskin, alla loro prima, storica candidatura ai Grammy tra le nuove proposte. 7 nomination anche per Brandi Carlile, seguita da Future, Harry Styles, Mary J. Blige, DJ Khaled, Terius “The-Dream” Gesteelde-Diamant e Randy Merrill a quota sei nomination. Jay-Z si è fermato a 5, venendo così raggiunto dalla moglie in vetta alla storia dei nominati. Solo 3 le candidature per Taylor Swift, che non ha potuto correre con il suo ultimo disco, in gara il prossimo anno. Tra i candidati torna anche Christina Aguilera.
Prima candidatura per Viola Davis, che punta così all’EGOT, avendo già vinto Emmy, Oscar e Tony.
I Grammy Awards 2023 vedranno quindi Beyoncé e Adele tornare a sfidarsi per Best Record, Album e Song of the Year 6 anni dopo la prima e ultima volta, quando Adele vinse tutto. La cerimonia dei Grammy si terrà domenica 5 febbraio 2023 a Los Angeles.
