Grammys add new categories, including best video game soundtrack
Live MintThe Grammys are adding a special song for social change award and five new categories including songwriter of the year, giving the Recording Academy an avenue to honor music’s best composer. The academy announced on Thursday that the new non-classical songwriter category will recognize one individual who was the “most prolific” non-performing and non-producing songwriter for a body of new work during an eligibility year. “This new category is truly for an expert person at the songwriting craft," Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. told The Associated Press. The four other categories include best spoken word poetry album, alternative music performance, Americana music performance and score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media.
