It’s that time of year again when the stars come out for some glitz and glamour, the online blogosphere is scrutinising the best and worst outfits and at least one person has to stumble on stage. It’s awards season and last night saw the Oscars of the music world take place in Los Angeles – the Grammys. This year’s 55th award ceremony was no different, honouring the best in the business and with performances from Taylor Swift, Frank Ocean and Jack White amongst others.
There were a few surprise wins on the night with Fun. picking up Best New Artist and also Song of the Year with “We Are Young”. He may have been someone that you used to know but Gotye also came back with a vengeance last night, scooping Record of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Alternative Music Album. Mumford and Sons also had an unexpected win, picking up Best Long Form Video and the coveted Album of the Year beating Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange and El Camino by The Black Keys. Nevertheless Frank Ocean and The Black Keys still did very well with the former winning Best Urban Contemporary Album and the latter picking up four (including Dan Auerbach’s award for Producer of the Year, non-classical).
