.HERMusicx teases what to expect when she graces the GRAMMYs stage, the growth of contemporary R&B & more
It's impressive when a new artist scores 10 Grammy nominations in just two years, but to do so with no proper album under your belt is almost unheard of. EnterH.E.R. Volume 1Since then, the singer has gained a growing fanbase and the respect of the Recording Academy despite not releasing a debut studio album . For the 2020 Grammys, H.E.R. is nominated in five categories: record of the year and song of the year , album of the year , best R&B performance and best R&B song .
When I was first told I would be performing at the Grammys, I had no idea what I was going to do. I didn't even think about that song initially. As it was getting a bit more popular with my fans, it turned into a standout record. I thought about how many elements it had. There was R&B, but I wrote it in Nashville so it's very much country and pop [inspired] as well. There's also this electric rock vibe.
R&B has always been about raw emotion, and I think the authenticity of it was missing. It was never dead -- we always listen to the classics that will remain timeless -- but we forgot what it meant to make [music] with real emotion that's inspired by rhythm-and-blues and soul. We've gotten back to our roots and real instrumentation on records. I did my ownlast September and we literally sold it out in about 20 minutes.
We were first introduced to you as being a more soulful, moody singer. “Slide” is more upbeat than your usual style. How did it come together?
