Yesterday, Sunday February 12, My Type of Music-loving readers.
This year the Grammy Awards cut 31 categories in a big overhaul, reducing the number of categories from 109 to 78. The most important change was the elimination of the distinction between male and female soloists and between collaborations and duo/groups in various genre fields (pop, rock, R&B, country and rap). Also, several categories for instrumental soloists were discontinued. Recordings in these categories now fall under the general categories for best solo performances. In the list of nominees and winners, the ones that interest us most on The FontFeed are of course categories 60 and 61, respectively Best Recording Package and Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package, and categories 77 and 78, for Best Short Form Music Video and Best Long Form Music Video. Here they are:
