What to know about the 3 new Grammys categories

Ahead of the 2024 Grammys, the Recording Academy introduced three new categories: best African music performance, best alternative jazz album and best pop dance recording.

The best African music performance category "recognizes recordings that utilize unique local expressions from across the African continent," according to the Grammys website. The category includes but is not limited to the Afrobeat, Afro-fusion, Afro Pop, Afrobeats, Alte, Amapiano, Bongo Flava and Genge genres.

Best pop dance recording "recognizes tracks and singles that feature up-tempo, danceable music that follows a pop arrangement," the Recording Academy said. "Eligible Pop Dance recordings also feature strong rhythmic beats and significant electronic-based instruments with an emphasis on the vocal performance, melody and hooks."

The best alternative jazz album category "recognizes artistic excellence in alternative jazz albums by individuals, duos and groups/ensembles, with or without vocals," according to the Grammys website. It is defined as a "genre-blending, envelope-pushing hybrid" of music that "mixes jazz" with other genres.

SZA leads Grammy nominations

All eyes are on SZA tonight as she topped the list of nominees this year with nine nods, including album of the year for "SOS," song of the year and record of the year for "Kill Bill" and best melodic rap performance for "Low."

Close behind with seven nods each are Phoebe Bridgers, Serban Ghenea and Victoria Monét.

Jack Antonoff, Jon Batiste, boygenius, Brandy Clark, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift are all up for six nominations tonight.

If SZA wins album of the year, she could become the first Black woman to win in that category this century. The last Black woman to win album of the year was Lauryn Hill for "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" in 1999.
