By far the highlight of “Awaken, My Love!,” “Redbone” is a modern twist on the psychedelic funk that inspired it. The best produced record of this list, “Redbone” is a refreshing take on infidelity and relationships, a trope overused in every genre. But while the record echoes calls for action and awareness—”Stay woke,” croons Childish Gambino in the chorus—that are characteristic of the activist movements dominating our social climate, “Redbone” might ultimately not have had the cultural impact typical of the records that usually win this category, peaking at number twelve on the charts in August.

What will win: “Despacito.”

As evidenced by its record-tying sixteen weeks as the Billboard Hot 100 number one single, “Despacito” could win only for its international popularity and success. Its bilinguality would make it the first non-English song to win Record of the Year, an achievement that would be in line with what is sure to be the celebratory nature of the 60th annual Grammy awards.
