The ‘Yummy’ singer said although he appreciate the several nominations he received at the 63rd anniversary of the Grammys, he needs to clarify that the ‘Changes’ album is and will always be an R&B album.
He took to his Instagram page to express his feelings, he said;
I am flattered to be acknowledged and appreciated for my artistry.
I am very meticulous and intentional about my music. With that being said I set out to make an R&B album.
Changes was and is an R&B album. It is not being acknowledged as an R&B album which is very strange to me.
I grew up admiring R&B music and wished to make a project that would embody that sound.
For this to not be in that category feels weird considering from the chords to the melodies to the vocal style all the way down to the hip hop drums that were chosen it it undeniably, unmistakably an R&B Album!
To be clear I absolutely love Pop music it just wasn’t what I set out to make this time around.
My gratitude for feeling respected for my work remains and I am honored to be nominated either way. (sic)”
Justin insisted he’s very grateful for the nominations and people should not tag him as ‘ungrateful’. He captioned his post;
Please don’t mistake this as me being ungrateful, these are just my thoughts take em or leave em. Thank you to the people who fought for me to even have any noms
