Still other genre fans may have expected nods for vets such as Kem, whose single “Lie to Me” and album Love Always Wins was heartily embraced by fans after his six-year hiatus. Other possible contenders not in the race this time include indie favorite Brent Faiyaz, PartyNextDoor with his “Believe It” featuring Rihanna and emerging artist Snoh Alegra. The first group features R&B’s other leading ladies of 2019-2020: Summer Walker (who also didn’t receive an expected best new artist nod), Kehlani, Teyana Taylor and Jessie Reyez, who gained her first Grammy nomination for best urban contemporary album last year for Being Human in Public. Most striking are the artists who didn’t receive any nods in the field - and those who did. At the same time, it will no doubt leave them scratching their heads with the other as they ponder what’s going on. Segueing over to the R&B categories, however, reveals a mixed bag of nominations that encompasses major and indie label artists, unexpected pop-ups and enduring faves that will please R&B fans on the one hand.
