Now And Then From The Beatles Make History Of The First AI Song To Be Nominated For Grammys

JAKARTA - The Beatles again became a nominee for the 2025 Grammy Awards through their single titled 'Now and Then'. The last time the Liverpool-based band was nominated occurred in 1997 through the re-release of the song 'Free as a Bird'.

For the 67th Grammys, 'Now and Then' was nominated for two categories, namely Record of the Year and Best Rock Performance.

The Beatles' nomination for next year will be even more special, considering for the first time the Recording Academy as the organizer of the Grammy Awards, bringing in works with artificial intelligence (AI) or artificial intelligence into nominations.

As is known, the 'Now and Then' released in November 2023, involved the role of AI, to bring back John Lennon's vocals recorded in 1977.

John's vocal recording was combined with Paul McCartney's new music and vocals.

Meanwhile, the feasibility of work with AI assistance for nomination has become a hot discussion conducted by the Recording Academy in the last two years.

Quoting Billboard, Harvey Mason Jr. as the CEO of Recording Academy, he held discussions by presenting labels, technology executives, streaming services, and artists to gather their thoughts about the potential feasibility of music assisted or generated by AI into the Grammy Awards.

One of the artists involved in the discussion was Ghostwriter, an anonymous producer who started the AI music hype with the song "Heart on My Sleeve", which faked Drake and The Weeknd.

Currently, the discussion has been answered with the inclusion of 'Now and Then' into a nomination. This song brought The Beatles for the fourth time in the Recording of the Year category.

In the mid-1960s, when The Beatles were still active as a band, "I Want to Hold Your Hand", "Hey Jude" and "Let It Be" were nominated for the Recording of the Year category, but The Beatles never won in that category.
