Very interested to see where Olivia Dean goes from here. She’s definitely going to struggle to match the success or acclaim of someone like Adele, but I can see her being a staple of R&B playlists for years to come
It sort of felt like they were righting (or at least re-writing) last year's shut-out of Hit Me Hard And Soft by awarding Billie for Wildflower... which was not a likely winner to my mind either. And in doing that, they also gave Sabrina the shut-out this year.
Honestly, I think that's ok. Man's Best Friend isn't very distinctive from Short N' Sweet to most audiences, and her Grammys appearances are just beginning :)
I loved DtMF as the AOTY pick! Just started my Substack today and my first post is a review of that album! Let me know your thoughts!
