Grammy nominations 2019: Full list of nominees


The 61st #Grammy Award nominations were announced Friday morning.#ShawnMendes, #JanelleMonáe, #AlessiaCara and Apple Music's #Zane Lowe joined "CBS This Morning" to announce the nominees in the top categories Friday morning. Mendes and Monáe walked away with their own nominations while Cara, a four-time Grammy nominee and last year's best new artist, was not eligible. 

With #Drake and #KendrickLamar leading the way in the biggest categories, both earning nods for record, album and song of the year. Those two aside, this year's top awards are dominated by women. 

After backlash over the lack of female nominees last year, 2019 sees mostly young women in the best new artist category and five women competing with three men for album of the year. 

There were also some notable snubs. Beyoncé and Jay-Z -- typically a favorite of the academy -- didn't get any love in the main categories for their collaborative album, "Everything Is Love." Kanye West, Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande were all shut out of the major categories as well. 



A tearful Monáe dedicated her album "Dirty Computer," which was nominated for album of the year, to all the "marginalized voices" or "dirty computers" who may not feel heard. 

"This album is so much bigger than me. You know, it's not -- I'm sorry. It's not about me, it's about a community of dirty computers, of marginalized voices. Being a young, black, queer woman in America, there was something I had to say and there was a group of people that I wanted to celebrate. And I just -- I'm happy to be representing them. I hope they feel seen, I hope they feel heard and I hope they feel loved," Monáe said.  

The Grammy Awards are set to air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 10, marking the show's return to the West Coast. You can watch the show starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS,  CBS All Access or fuboTV.

Kate Bush, The Dreaming : A Pitchfork Review

#KateBush # WutheringHeights # Lionheart # NeverforEver #TheDreaming In 1982, Kate Bush’s daring and dense fourth album marked her transformation into a fearless experimental artist who was legible, audibly very queer, and very obviously in love with pop music. In 1978, Kate Bush first hit the UK pop charts with “Wuthering Heights” off her romantic, ambitious progressive pop debut The Kick Inside. That same year, her more confident, somewhat disappointing follow-up Lionheart and 1980’s Never for Ever had a grip of charting singles that further grew her UK success without achieving mega-stardom—she barely cracked into American college rock. What is truly amazing between the first chapter of her career and the new one that began with 1982’s The Dreaming is how consistently Bush avoided the musical world around her, preferring to hone and blend her literary, film, and musical inspirations (Elton John, David Bowie, and Pink Floyd) into the idiosyncratic perfection that was 1985’s Ho
