Muni Long added another accolade to her growing list of achievements at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, securing the Best R&B Performance for her dynamic live rendition of “Made For Me” on BET.
The ceremony, which took place at the Crypto.com Arena, saw Long, born Priscilla Renea Hamilton, deliver a performance that was both intimate and impactful. The song, part of her critically acclaimed album “Revenge,” was already a beloved hit among fans, but the live version showcased the depth of her vocal prowess and emotional connection to the music.
This win marks Long’s second Grammy in the Best R&B Performance category, following her previous success with “Hrs & Hrs.” The Recording Academy’s recognition of her live performance underscores the evolving nature of R&B, where live interpretations can sometimes outshine studio recordings in capturing the spirit of the genre.
Long’s performance was a highlight of the night, with many in the industry and fans on social media praising her for her artistry and originality. The R&B singer-songwriter, known for her songwriting for artists like Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande before her solo career took off, continues to cement her place as a pivotal figure in contemporary R&B.
The Grammy Awards, a night where music’s finest are recognized, also used this year’s event to raise funds for wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles, reflecting the community’s spirit amid challenging times.
