Jewel News / Jewel has submitted herself for a Grammy for The Portal

« Last post by Jessica on October 09, 2024, 02:36:35 PM »

Making the music for The Portal was a peak experience for me. It is genre defying. It is a 10 min piece of music that goes from meditation, to cinematic sound scape, to spoken word and then in and out of several songs that cover several genres, more spoken word and then it ends in a dance song!

I had no idea what category to submit it for - there is no poetry spoken word category and oddly no meditation or mental health music category.

Like much of my career, I continue to be interested in exploring music beyond the silos that the music business is structured in… and I think many fans are the same. We like what we like. Johnny cash has more in common with The Sex Pistols than Kenny Rogers. Agree? Disagree?

What category would you put The Portal in?

Here is what I decided to submit it for: 
‘The Portal ’ For Your Grammy® Consideration 🩵

• Best Best Americana Performance
• Best American Roots Song
• Record Of The Year
• Song Of The Year

I feel like she may have played her singing a little safe with the laryngitis, but she's still phenomenal! If she didn't talk about it/mention it during the shows, I don't think anyone would even know anything was off.

Poor kid. She almost made it all the way through! Bummer, man.

I wonder who the special guest will be? Hopefully the people of Arkansas have a more charitable spirit than Oklahomans, 'cause I can't find nothing from last night's show. It's like it didn't happen...

At the LaGrange, GA show, Jewel at least mentioned how Melissa invited her to perform on VH1 together, and noted it was before even Lilith Fair. She was very gracious for that opportunity. I'm not sure why they don't reprise that song... It's part of Melissa's set already.
