This year’s nominees include artists from a variety of genres, with the Album Of The Year category alone including pop, R&B, rap, and country artists.

"Just as we see emerging musicians experimenting, we're also seeing established artists resisting what's expected of them and, instead, embracing the creative freedom they've been afforded through their success, blurring the lines between music's mainstream and artistic edge," said The Recording Academy CEO Neil Portnow.
