Best Jazz Performance

featuring Makaya McCraven and Junius Paul 

Best Album, Progressive R&B 
"Expecting"
 

Streaming on all platforms: 

" I recorded 'Expecting' as an homage to icon Minnie Riperton knowing no one had ever covered it before. Yet the full album vision crystallized once I wrote with Sullivan Fortner. With Jazz Night in America breaking it worldwide, the response has been profound.

"Her new EP harnesses Black joy and the technology of Black American music to speak to ecological sustainability and divine femininity with the lyricism and drive of iconic 1970s soul...Hoyes forges the depths of collective, familial, and sonic heritage as she composes pop music for a decolonized future."
