Love this article! To answer some of the questions, I am so happy about Bad Bunny's win - it's my #1 obsession right now. DtMF is one of the most brilliant albums I've ever listened to (and I only know three words in Spanish). But the meaning of the album, the nostalgia, and his devotion to Puerto Rico/his community is very clear. I think this win is a great build up for his upcoming Superbowl Halftime show (go Seahawks!).
My personal Album Of The Year was Let God Sort Em Out by Clipse, who won Best Rap Performance! I actually started listening to Clipse for the first time after reading your article (from Feels Like Home) about the brothers and their comeback.
I am so curious about The Marias. I loved their performance, and I started listening to the song they performed (No One Noticed).
I’m right there with you. I was really happy to see Bad Bunny get AOTY. He’s been consistently delivering quality records, and DtMF is such a victory on so many fronts.
I’m curious about The Marías, too. I need to finally make time to listen to their music. All in all though, thank you for supporting my work. I’m glad it’s led you to some new music. Really cool to hear!
Really enjoyed this take on validation through awards vs community. The Kehlani point hits hard, showing political stances don't have to cost success. I noticed how award shows became less about celebrating art and more like spectacles, but gatherings like Album Club seem to fil that gap better anyway.
