Will Gag Order win a Grammy?

[COOOK 76,405]

  

With scores of 76 on Metacritic, 7.1 from Pitchfork, 4/5 stars from The Guardian, 3/5 from NME and a 4 star, "Hear this" tag from Rolling Stone it's safe to say that this is one of Kesha's most praised albums. Rick Rubin is known to be a legendary producer and his work on Gag Order wasn't unnoticed too which makes me wonder if Kesha's been gunning for her first Grammy with this project. Winning might also be quite symbolic as this album will free her from the shackles of that label.

Will she get any nominations? If so, what category do you think Gag Order deserves?

Gaga doesn't need to order her Grammy win

[Bronco 1,381]

Honestly given how Dr Luke is still pretty influential in the industry - she'll be lucky to get nominated

If rainbow didn't win one I'd find it hard to believe this album would win a Grammy (even tho I really want that to happen )

No, but I don’t think it’s because of the quality, the GRAMMYs don’t seem to be in love with her

She was for Rainbow era.

 

I just don't see this album pushing big Grammy Awards grabs. Just my very own opinion. I wish her all the best though.

I doubt she’ll even be nominated tbh… but who knows, would be cool for Kesha.

I doubt it. Unfortunately, I think Rainbow/Praying were Kesha's moment to win and it's unfortunate that Sheeran won both pop vocal album and pop vocal performance. How 'Praying' didn't get at least a Song of the Year nomination is really unfortunate. It really depends where she decides to submit Gag Order and its songs, however. Obviously the album likely will be submitted as Pop, but some tracks could be submitted into other genre categories...

For me, 'High Road' was a dip in quality for Kesha. It was a bit unfocused and I wish it had been tighter with a shorter track list. I think that could hinder her relevance with the voting body. Gag Order is not going to have hits, nor is it going to light up the charts (it'll have decent first week sales, but I don't see it staying). That said, I think it's Kesha at her strongest as a songwriter, vocalist, and overall artist. The Grammys might notice that and appreciate it. I think at best, a nomination would be a win for her. 

It is clear her label has given her little money to promote this album. Physical CDs aren't in big box stores and local record stores maybe have five copies at best from what fans are saying (I ordered mine on Amazon to avoid this). Vinyl copies don't drop until the end of June. Kesha's visuals have merely been 'visualizers' seemingly all filmed while the album photoshoot took place. Promotion seems to have all fallen on Kesha to fund and plan. No televised performances. I think she's done a great job, but you also need money to fund a Grammy campaign and it's clear her label won't help push her. 

All this said, I just love she's found her voice and a cohesive sound. I really love this album and I'm glad she's in a space where it's not about the hits, not about appeasing fans of her early party-sound and vibes, but about making honest music and moving forward with her most dedicated fans.

I'd be very surprised if she even gets nominated at all. Gag Order doesn't really feel like an album that'd be the Grammy's favorites so depends on how it does. If this is forgotten in 2-3 months then there's probably low chance it gets nominated.

hopefully it gets nominated cause it deserves it

The name could've been better, and the cover could've been better
