Nigerian singer Victony has submitted his second studio album, “STARLIFE,” and single “SLICK” for consideration in multiple categories at the 2027 Grammy Awards. His submissions include Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Best Global Music Album, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best African Music Performance.
“STARLIFE,” released on August 21, 2026, was submitted for Album of the Year and Best Global Music Album. The 15-track album features collaborations with artists including BNXN, Young Jonn, FOLA, Blaqbonez, Babyboy AV and YKB.
His single “SLICK” was submitted for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best African Music Performance. Released in July 2026, the song marked a shift towards a more dance-oriented sound compared with the introspective themes of his earlier work. It reached No. 1 on the UK Official Afrobeats Chart.
Victony’s submissions also include Best New Artist, a category recognising emerging recording artists. His previous releases include the albums “Stubborn” (2024) and “STARLIFE,” as well as the 2025 project “Very Stubborn.”
The entries are submissions for consideration, not confirmed nominations. The Recording Academy’s voting members determine the nominees through its first-round voting process. Nominations for the 2027 Grammy Awards are scheduled to be announced on November 16, 2026, ahead of the ceremony on February 7, 2027, in Los Angeles.
