Removed Aqua as winner Several Norwegians were also listed on the nomination list before tonight’s Grammy awards in the USA. Among the nominees was Danish-Norwegian Aqua. In this connection, confusion arose. According to VG, it was stated in a post on Grammy’s own X/Twitter that the song “Barbie World” with Aqua, Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj had won in the category best rap song. Shortly after, the post was removed. In a new post, it says that “Scientists & Engineers” with Killer Mike, Future, Andre 3000 and Eryn Allen Kane is the winner in the category. Aqua also did not reach the category of best song written for a visual medium. There, “What Was I Made For” from the blockbuster “Barbie” won. Along with Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice, Aqua did not reach the category of best rap song during the night’s Grammy awards. More nominations for Norway Among the nominees during the night’s awards was also the sound engineer and music producer from Skien, Morten Lindberg. He won his first Grammy in 2020. Otherwise, he has also been nominated 43 times previously. This year he was nominated in the producer of the year category, among other things, for his work on “The Trondheim Concertos” and “Yggdrasil”, but he did not win this time.

Herresthal was nominated in the category best classical compendium for “Mazzoli: Dark With Excessive Bright”, as well as best modern classical composition for the same work.
