Lordes mellow drama. Bruno mars. Lorde is the dark horse here because its a pop album. My vote goes to jay . To jayz . Yeah. 13th album. It was the rawest album hes ever done. Incredible. So i think jay gets it this year. Last category. Best new artist. Khaled, Julia Michaels who do you think is going to take home the prize . The inside track is sza. Shes the new lauren hill. Five nominations, her vocals and deliver is incredible. This is Julia Michaels debut single to have received a song of the year nomination. Thats huge. Its going to be tight one between sza and Julia Michaels.
