Three new Grammys will be handed out at next year’s awards show. On Tuesday, the Recording Academy announced the additional categories of Best African Performance, Best Pop Dance Recording, and Best Alternative Jazz Album.
The African Music Performance category will highlight the “regional melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic traditions” of Africa, including the likes of Afrobeats, Afro Pop, Ghanian Drill, and Ehtio Jazz, among other genres stemming from the content.
The Pop Dance Recording category focuses on “up-tempo, danceable music that follows a pop arrangement” and will emphasize vocal performance, melody, and hooks. The category will not include dance remixes of previously released music. The Best Alternative Jazz Album category, for its part, will recognize projects that are “genre-bending, envelope-pushing hybrid that mix jazz… with other genres.”
