Can Usher Hold Off a Muni Long R&B Clean Sweep at 2025 Grammys?

Billboard predicts the winners of the R&B categories at the 2025 Grammys.

Nominees: “After Hours” (Diovanna Frazier, Alex Goldblatt, Kehlani Parrish, Khris Riddick-Tynes & Daniel Upchurch); “Burning” (Ronald Banful & Temilade Openiyi); “Here We Go (Uh Oh)” (Sara Diamond, Sydney Floyd, Marisela Jackson, Courtney Jones, Carl McCormick & Kelvin Wooten); “Ruined Me” (Jeff Gitelman, Priscilla Renea & Kevin Theodore); “Saturn” (Rob Bisel, Carter Lang, Solána Rowe, Jared Solomon & Scott Zhang) Tems ‘ “Burning” probably has the same chance of winning as “After Hours”; it’s a poignant track that finds the crossover star soaring in a leading role after being a key featured player on Grammy-approved hits like Future ‘s “Wait For U” and Wizkid ‘s “Essence.” Not only does the set feature both legends ( Snoop Dogg) and rising stars ( Rae Khalil), but it’s also perfectly representative of R&B that cherishes the genre’s roots, while venturing into new spaces that incorporate notes of hip-hop, jazz, soft rock and more.
