Amid racial reckoning, Grammys honour the Black experience
The HinduWith police brutality continuing to devastate Black families and the coronavirus ravishing Black America disproportionately, the world was driven to the significance of this year’s Juneteenth more than ever before. Beyoncş’s “Black Parade” scored nominations for two of the top awards- song of the year and record of the year. Sometimes it’s just about what it is - which was making our people proud.” “Black Parade” helped Beyoncş land nine nominations, making her the overall top Grammy contender. For song of the year, “Black Parade” will compete with H.E.R.’s “I Can’t Breathe,” the R&B singer’s track about police brutality. “It’s for them.” Apart from “Black Parade,” Beyoncş also earned nominations for her film honoring Black art and Black history, “Black Is King,” as well as her ode to dark- and brown-skinned women, “Brown Skin Girl.” Dixie, who has worked as Beyoncş’s music director and has produced, engineered and arranged songs for the singer, said he’s grateful he’s working with an artist who boldly speaks about Black pride in her music.
