The Recording Academy's GRAMMY Recordings and RCA Records have teamed to release the 2015 GRAMMY Nominees album, which will be available Jan. 23, 2015.
The 21st installment of the best-selling series will feature an array of this year's GRAMMY-nominated artists and hit songs across multiple genres. A portion of the proceeds from sales of the album will help support the year-round efforts of the GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares Foundation — two Recording Academy-affiliated charitable organizations.
Review
Issued by RCA three weeks prior to the 57th Annual Grammy Awards telecast,
2015 Grammy Nominees, like yearly releases before it, emphasizes the “big
four” categories. Since four of the nominees for Record of the Year (namely
“Chandelier,” “Stay with Me,” “Shake It Off,” and “All About That
Bass” – were also up for Song of the Year, there was plenty of room to
accommodate those two categories. Each one of the Album of the Year nominees is
represented, although three Best New Artist nominees (HAIM, Brandy Clark,
Bastille) were left off. This is an adequate, stylistically varied time capsule
of 2014's most popular music that, for serious Grammy viewers, has more value
as a collector's item. Andy Kellman – Allmusic.com
