This year, the GRAMMYs are adding a brand‑new category: Best Album Cover! I think this recognition is long overdue so much work goes into crafting album art, from photographers to illustrators to fine artists. Album covers are very important!

According to the Recording Academy, the first‑ever nominees in this newly revived category are:

Wet Leg — Moisturizer
