bashed them and called their collaboration with fellow Christian artist Derek Webb a sign of “the end days.” Fans supported Blake in light of Feucht’s comments and pushed their song “Good Day,” and the albumfor consideration for Best Contemporary Christian Album at this year’s Grammy Awards.
Blake and Erin Anderson, a Nashville-based manager who was consulting Blake in the submission process, had looked through the Contemporary Christian Album requirements in the Grammys Rulebook, which said only that “this Category recognizes excellence in a solo, duo, group, or collaborative performance of Contemporary Christian Music, including pop, rap/hip-hop, Latin, and rock. Recordings of sermons are eligible in Best Audio Book, Narration And Storytelling Recording.
Blake is aware their music isn’t as traditional and doesn’t expect all of the Christian music industry or its events, like the Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards, to recognize their work. But they tell“We’ve seen the Grammys celebrate diversity in really explicit ways over the years,” Blake says.
Blake also says moving the album to pop vocal in particular was questionable, adding that if they couldn’t be in the Christian field, they’d categorize their music as gospel, roots-rock, or folk and Americana.
