The 2025 Grammy nominations have been announced!
This year marked a solo comeback for both Karen Clark Sheard and Yolanda Adams, who both received nominations (see below).
Tasha Cobbs Leonard received multiple nominations, given her gospel and contemporary Christian cross-over appeal and prolific collaborations.
CeCe Winans continues to set the bar higher with the Recording Academy as she received nominations for Best Gospel Album and her contemporary Christian hit song, "That's My King," which was featured in the movie, THE FORGE.
This year promised to be the year of the gospel divas. However, noticeably absent from the list of nominees was Tamela Mann and her country-inspired song "Working for Me," which was released in June 2024.
The Academy announced that the eligibility period for the 67th annual Grammy Awards was Sept. 16, 2023 through Aug. 30, 2024.
DOE continues to have a banner year both personally and commercially as her sophomore solo album HEART OF A HUMAN received a Grammy nomination.
Finally, Melvin Crispell III, RIcky Dillard, and Kirk Franklin continue to hold it down for male gospel music performers with their Grammy nods.
CONGRATULATIONS to all the nominees!
