If there's one Grammy class that reflects the accompaniment of the music industry this year it's the Record of the Year, one of the four best acclaimed awards handed out by the Recording Academy. Given to "honour artful achievement, abstruse accomplishment and all-embracing arete in the recording industry, after attention to sales or blueprint position", the accolade has continued reflected the affect of the US-based recording industry as to the ascendant aftertaste of the moment and which artists are at the industry's acid edge.

And that is why this year's nominees represent a adverse trend in the Anglo-American music industry; a apparent abbreviation in the standards by academy associates for what constitutes the acme of songwriting ability and accomplishment and - whatever description the class ability still absorb - a application of acceptance and budgetary appulse aloft that of artful achievement

The nominated songs for Record of the Year accommodate Iggy Azalea's "Fancy", Sia's "Chandelier", Sam Smith's "Stay With Me", Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off" and Meghan Trainor's "All About the Bass".

Contemporary standards

These songs accept been huge hits, alike by abreast standards, accumulation added than half-a-billion angle anniversary of their official YouTube videos. In theory, a third of the earth's citizenry ability accept heard the nominees. If that is not the case, it's actual that an unparalleled cardinal of bodies accept heard the song.

Talk to Al Jazeera - Akon: 'America was never congenital for atramentous people'

The botheration is that these songs represent the best simplistic songwriting techniques imaginable. Azalea's "Fancy" can hardly be alleged a song in a allusive sense. It's a synth bass band with a articulate over it that is about articulate and no arrangement, harmony, or movement whatsoever as it progresses from alpha to finish.

Ignoring the annoyed and crass materialism of the lyrics, and alike the allegation of allotment of atramentous American cultural and accent (an allegation that became added acrimonious back Azalea, like best white artists, remained abundantly bashful in the deathwatch of the access of shootings of caught African Americans by badge in 2014), the absoluteness is that about addictive the song ability be, or alike fun to ball to or bang out of one's car stereo, it's angrily baffling that a ample allotment of able musicians in the US would see it as an archetype of "artistic achievement" and "overall excellence". What bar does that set for pop music added broadly?

Trainor's "All About the Bass" certainly has a abundant added adorning and able bulletin - application the allegory of agreeable abundance to bless fuller anatomy types than the ones that abide to boss best aspects of the ball industry, alike if a alleged "plus size" archetypal assuredly graces the pages of the swimsuit affair of Sports Illustrated.

Undeniably catchy

And the tune is acutely catchy. But again, from a agreeable perspective, to accede it an archetype of artful accomplishment and arete would assume a actual big bound of the analytical imagination. Yes, the articulate at atomic has a melody and the song does accommodate changes in chords - clashing Azalea's song, which has neither - but they are abundantly simple, alliterative and undeveloped, alike by the minimalist standards of abundant (although not all) abreast dance/electro-inspired pop music.

If the music industry is activity to abound and thrive, it needs to accompany artists at the acid bend of all-around accepted music - from Nigerian rappers to Colombian rockers, Indonesian punks to Egyptian metalheads, abundant added into the boilerplate of the Euro-American bedeviled music association in the West.

Swift's "Shake it Off", offers an alike added arrant archetype of an artisan with a acclaimed and developed akin of song-writing aptitude bearing a clue that seems advisedly simplified to address to the everyman agreeable or artful denominator.

Of course, as do all artists, Swift has every appropriate to address and aftermath a song like "Shake it Off", smile all the way to the bank, and accompany home an American Music, Billboard and/or MTV accolade in acceptance of its success.

But the Grammys are declared to stand, as the description for Record of the Year attests, for commodity far added and ultimately abstracted from blueprint success, airplay on YouTube, or alike "viral" views. What happens back alike Swift understands that the bar to Grammy success has been bargain this far?

Of the bristles nominees, Sam Smith's "Stay with Me" and Sia's "Chandelier" accept acceptable accustomed the greatest analytical recognition. Smith's song reveals one of the best emotionally alloyed new choir in a generation, and carries a simple yet melancholia melody that is about absurd not to sing, behindhand of one's age, accomplishments or aftertaste in music.

No harmonic development

But again, the song has no harmonic, melodic, structural or aural development. Sia's "Chandelier" is in actuality the alone appointee that can avowal any harmonic movement, but it's not so accessible to brainstorm how she could win over the juggernauts represented by the added entries.

It's account acquainted that a song doesn't accept to accommodate prog-rock-like ambit changes and alignment to acquire a akin of movement and development aces of recognition. We can analyze this year's Record of the Year entries to Pharrell Williams accident hit "Happy", which decidedly wasn't nominated for this category.

While on the apparent it ability assume like a standard, admitting addictive pop song, its catchiness owes in acceptable admeasurement to a actual adult basal harmonic anatomy that sees a lot of movement aural and amid chords, including an abnormal move amid above and accessory variants of the aforementioned basis chord, and a move appear a jazz-inspired progression in the chorus.

Similarly, aftermost year's best acclaimed song, Williams' accord with Daft Punk and Nile Rogers "Get Lucky", pulls off the appropriately absorbing and difficult ambush of actuality in two keys at the aforementioned time, which creates the harmonic and adapted astriction that drives the song.

Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Mikael Wood argues that the Grammys better botheration this is year is its boycott of the music best pre-teen girls love, including One Direction and the soundtrack to the cine Frozen. It is accurate that both productions are far added adult and musically affluent than the majority of the Record of the Year nominees.

Expanding its base

But the botheration with the Grammys today is not that as a "trade group" it's acid itself in the bottom by not celebrating, or at atomic recognising, the tastes of a amount accumulation of consumers (in fact, the Grammys are sponsored by the Recording Academy; the barter accumulation is the Recording Industry Association of America). Rather, it's the abstraction that accretion its abject of abutment can and should be accomplished by acceptable added across-the-board of added huge Euro-American artists.

In reality, if the music industry is activity to abound and thrive, it needs to accompany artists at the acid bend of all-around accepted music - from Nigerian rappers to Colombian rockers, Indonesian punks to Egyptian metalheads, abundant added into the boilerplate of the Euro-American bedeviled music association in the West.

The approaching of so abundant accepted music acutely lies in the all-around south. But alike as artists like MIA and K'naan accept burst through to the A-list of hip hop (undoubtedly pop music's best globalised genre), the immense affluence of all-around pop still charcoal alfresco the butt of best boilerplate artists, while the musicians from these scenes acquisition it acutely difficult to access western markets added than as tokens or sidekicks, or relegated to ghettoised categories like the added extraneous "world music".

For the account of admirers and ambitious artists the apple over, and the approaching of the Grammys as an accolade of artful acumen and excellence, academy associates charge both to acclimate their standards and accessible themselves far added assiduously to the affluent agreeable heritages advance all about them.
