‘UNAPOLOGETIC’ WINS AT 56TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS
Date:
Rihanna’s Unapologetic secures yet another gilded gramophone for the Def Jam superstar. The album won Best Urban Contemporary Album, and features the song “Jump,” a contemporary ode to Ginuwine’s ‘90s classic and Reservoir catalog track “Pony.”
Rapper Macklemore, who appears on Reservoir track “Gold Rush,” landed a remarkable seven nominations and four wins for Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Album alongside producer Ryan Lewis, an achievement that demonstrates the ever-growing power of the independent artist.
Seven years after the release of his previous album FutureSex/LoveSounds, Justin Timberlake proves his ability to remain at the cutting-edge of all that can be called entertainment with The 20/20 Experience, landing multiple wins for Best R&B Song with “Pusher Love Girl,” Best Rap/Sung Collaboration alongside Jay Z with “Holy Grail,” and Best Music Video with “Suit & Tie,” again with rapper Jay Z.
