Charm soundtrack could beat Beyoncé and Adele at the 2023 Grammy Awards

The soundtrack of Charmfrom the Oscar-winning Disney movie, could be the big breakout in the 2023 Grammy Awards nominations. Voters have been divided over which artists and bands will run for a statuette.

The songs of Encanto, the film based on the culture of Colombia, were positioned on the charts as one of the most listened to, but without a doubt the song that swept was We Don’t Talk About Bruno , in its Spanish version), which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, something that had only been achieved by Aladdin’s A Whole New World.

The soundtrack is rooted in genres such as salsa, vallenato, cumbia, and rock en español, and incorporates tango and reggaeton along with elements of pop, hip hop, folklore, and musical theater. It makes use of traditional musical instruments from Colombia, where the film takes place. Music critics praised Miranda’s musicianship and complimented the soundtrack for its complex polyphony and vibrant Latin rhythms. We don’t talk about Bruno is a Latin pop song that combines different rhythms such as guajira, hip hop or dance in the purest Broadway style.

It is performed by Colombian singer Carolina Gaitán, who gives voice to the character of Pepa, Colombian musician Mauro Castillo, Félix, American singer-songwriter Adassa, Dolores, American actor Rhenzy Feliz, Camilo, and American actresses Diane Guerrero, Isabela and Stephanie Beatriz, Mirabel .

But, in particular, there are two international artists who would be causing indecision. On the one hand, there is Adele, whose 30th studio album confirmed her musical prowess and was backed by topping the charts, leading fans to say she could be one of the big winners of these awards.

And the always fireproof Beyoncé, who this year released her latest record project entitled Renaissance. This was cataloged as a piece that reveals the “essence of the artist and ventures into fusing new sounds.” Break my soul is the one that has attracted the most attention and has received good reviews about the reinterpretation of the already well-known song that was made by Madonna.

To that extent, it must be said that the recording works of both artists have generated division by the voters who support the nomination of the artists for the Grammys. Critics and specialized media argue that both have reached a “musical maturity” that could make them face each other again, as happened at the 2017 awards.

That is why the Encanto soundtrack could appear as the “perfect option” for the Album of the Year nomination, since there would be no dispute between Beyonce and Adele, and the vote could focus on this musical and sound production that was directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

We will still have to wait for the Academy to reveal the list of nominees, but what is known at this point is that they will be held on February 5, 2023 in Las Vegas, United States.

On the other hand, Taylor Swift, Lizzo and Harry Styles are in the spotlight of the US National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which has always had a special affinity for young artists. Another name in Spanish that could appear repeatedly on the list of nominees is that of the Spanish Rosalía, who has had great success with her Motomami.

We will wait for events! The truth is that any of the aforementioned are absolutely brilliant and unrepeatable, there is no doubt about their talent, we may like them more or less, but getting to where they have arrived is not the result of improvisation, but of hard work, perseverance and daily effort throughout their successful lives. @worldwide
