 The 65th Grammy ceremony took place yesterday (Staples Center, L.A.). The Awards started been given before the 'big' ceremony, the one were the stars go, seat and perform and where the ' main' categories are given (The Big Four and the pop ones). This lead , as it happens every year in the Latin Grammys, to giving the awards while the celebrities are on their way to the Grammys or, like it has happened to Bebe Rexha, while they are arriving to the red carpet. In consequence,  most of the Grammys that Beyoncé took home yesterday were given in this other ceremony ( Best R&B Song for 'Cuff It', Best Traditional R&B Performance for 'Plastic Off The Sofa' and Best Dance Recording for Break My Soul). Even  the singer posted a photo with the awards before the main ceremony had place. That's why they should unify most awards in one ceremony, at least, some of the genres categories (like EDM, hip-hop, rock, latin or country), because these genre

 Carly Pearce released her third album on Friday. The album comes as a following part of her 29 EP, dropped in February. The album includes the 7 songs from the EP and eight new tracks.This extension of 29 the EP melts perfectly with the songs unveiled back in February.  It feels like the rest of the chapter, a part of her healing told with all the authenticity.  One of the new songs  is Never Wanted To Be That Girl   with Ashley Mcbride. There 's no  other artist that could drive the song with that honesty than Ashley Mcbride. In her Genius commentary to her song One night standards , she described the song as 'an exercise in honesty'  and that is what  Never Wanted To Be That Girl  is about : Speaking your feelings in such a difficult situation in a relationship;being the other girl. The album starts with the funny and country-rock  Diamondback (cowritten with Kelsea Ballerini , among others), which has some of  the  Before He Cheats revenge in the chorus. According wi

 The nominations for the CMA Awards came out three days ago. The ceremony will take place on November 10th awarding the best country artists, singles and albums of the year (the eligibility period is from July 1,2020 to June 30, 2021). Let's get into the nominations: ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR: This is the biggest award of the night. Eric Church and Chris Stapleton earn a nomination in this category. Both lead the nominations with five each.  Eric Church Luke Combs Miranda Lambert Chris Stapleton Carrie Underwood Church and Stapleton nominations seem reasonable. Both have released projects this year, which could be candidates to 'Album Of The Year'. Luke Combs gets a nomination too. He is one of the biggest country stars nowadays and he has had great chart success with 'Forever After All'.  The only nomination that is a little disappointing for me is Miranda Lambert's. Despite releasing The Marfa Tapes, she's been living by the success of 'Settling down'

 After her hit, I Hope You're Happy Now (ft. Lee Brice), which made her win a CMA Award, Carly Pearce is back with an EP of 7 songs. The first single of the project was Next Girl , written by Josh Osborne, Shane McAnally and Carly hersef. It is uptempo, fast and funny , with some clever lines referencing her ex songs' lyrics and with a teaching effort to warn the 'next girl' . Inspired by women of country (Reba, Patty Loveless...), the song is a cool breeze to mainstream country and brings back some bluegrass touch that connects with Carly Pearce's childhood and origin of her love for the country music genre.  The rest of the songs of the EP remain much sadder, focusing on heartbreak from a thoughtful perspective, like in the title track, where she thinks about the year 29, when your life is usually on track, you're young and, at the same time, closer to reach certain maturity. The percussive  Messy talks about the difficulty of moving on, as Day One does too.
