And we head to 2019 Grammys a bit earlier

Album of the year

Kacey Musgraves – Golden Hour (WINNER)

Cardi B – Invasion of Privacy

Brandi Carlile – By the way, I Forgive You

Drake – Scorpion

H.E.R – H.E.R

Post Malone – Beerbonhs and Bentleys

Janelle Monae – Dirty Computer

Various Artists – Black Panther OST

The 2019 Grammys, the first with 8 albums in AOTY Line-up had a country winner after many years of pop/rock albums winning. Kacey won against big hip-hop and rap albums. Drake, Post Malone, Cardi B had 3 block-busters albums with multiple big hits that defined late 2017-2018. Brandi Carlile was driven by acclaim and so was H.E.R, considered a musical prodigy. Dirty Computer by Janelle Monae was also highly acclaimed(ranked #1 on AOTY.org YEC). Last but not least, Black Panther OST got a nod, with songs from Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd and  SZA.

Some photos from the 2019 Grammys:

Kacey won 4 Grammys, including AOTY and Country Album

Best Rap Album winner Cardi B

Best New Artist winner Dua Lipa

H.E.R, Lady Gaga and Brandi Carlile won in RnB, Pop and Americana categories respectively

In overall 2019 Grammys were female dominated, after 2018 got backlash for being male dominated.

I preferred ‘Dirty Computer’ to ‘Golden Hour’ at the time, but I don’t listen to either much these days. ‘Same Trailer Different Park’ might still be my favourite Kacey album.

Golden Hour deserved. It’s one of the best records ever released and still to this day holds up perfectly. Kind of a weak lineup overall, with the obvious and egregious snubs being Sweetener by Ariana Grande and Astroworld by Travis Scott.

1. Golden Hour
2. Dirty Computer
3. Invasion of Privacy
4. H.E.R
5. By The Way, I Forgive You
6. Beerbongs & Bentleys
7. Black Panther OST
8. Scorpion

And as far as how it ended…
1. Golden Hour
2. By The Way, I Forgive You
3. Invasion of Privacy
4. H.E.R/Black Panther OST
6. Dirty Computer
7. Scorpion
8. B&B

My heart is with Janelle Monae on this one but she really didn’t stand a chance.

 

Black Panther was a good album but it definitely couldn’t hold a candle to a “proper” Kendrick Lamar album and would have felt like an “Apology” win.

Kacey Musgraves + winning Album of the Year = BARF!

Honey, Black Panther, Cardi B, Drake, H.E.R., and Janelle Monae released way better albums.

Unpopular opinion: beerbongs and bentleys was a solid album and deserved its place

I liked that Post album too, but  i would vote for Cardi B, i remember listening to IOP daily in 2018 without skipping a track. It is a fun record, accessible and after years of no mainstream female rap representation(minus Nicki Minaj disney pop rap) it was a breath of fresh air.

Childish Gambino winning SOTY and ROTY was incredible just for the record.

With me absolutely not liking country music, but purchasing the entirety of Golden Hour, yeah it deserved it’s win no doubt.
