With Kanye West likely avoiding the Grammys, who’s going to surge the stage if Vampire Weekend wins Album of the Year? Frontman Ezra Koenig has a proposal in an EXCLUSIVE video for TheMagazineCity.
In the event that and when Vampire Weekend‘s Father Of The Bride wins Album Of The Year at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, frontman Ezra Koenig should think quick. He’ll need to make sure to thank everybody, think of an expression of remorse for Lana Del Rey, and make a point not to drop the honor. The one thing he won’t need to stress over is Kanye West taking the occasion. As far back as Ye pulled his trick in 2015, the risk of an arbitrary Yeezy smashing the stage has lingered overhead the Grammys. However, with Ye likely skirting the show, is there somebody Ezra would incline toward “Kanye” him?
“On the off chance that somebody to surge the phase to high-five me, that would be cool,” Ezra disclosed to ALT 92.3’s Kevan Kenny behind the stage at RADIO.COM’s Not So Silent Night in Brooklyn. In the wake of transforming the situation into a progressively positive festival rather than somebody attempting to “disgrace me for winning,” Ezra concluded that he’d be glad to get some adoration from a companion. “The main individual I actually quite know – like, who I’ve had a discussion with — who’s in that classification is Justin [Vernon] of Bon Iver. In the event that he ran and gave me a high-five, that would be a soothing minute.”
On the off chance that Kanye were to by one way or another appear suddenly and surge the phase at the Grammys, it wouldn’t be his first time meeting Ezra. The Vampire Weekend artist invested energy with Ye in Mexico while he chipped away at The Life Of Pablo. During that time, Ezra and Dirty Projectors’ Dave Longstreth co-composed a Kanye tune that never turned out. What’s more, you thought Jesus Is King was postponed.
There’s some hardened challenge for what is apparently the top prize at the 2020 Grammys. Bon Iver’s I,I is likewise up for Album of The Year. So is the luxurious release of Lizzo‘s Cuz I Love You, Lil Nas X‘s presentation ep 7, H.E.R‘s. I Used To Know Her, Billie Eilish‘s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, Lana Del Rey’s Norman F*cking Rockwell!, and Ariana Grande‘s thank u, next. Discussing which, Ezra uncovered that if Vampire Weekend wins the honor, his initially thought will be, “Lana Del Rey fans are going to be distraught.”
There’s an excess of outrage on the planet, and Vampire Weekend is about the delight. Ezra disclosed to Rolling Stone that after the band’s past discharge, Modern Vampires of the City, he hit a stopping point. “I discovered visiting absolutely dismal,” he said. “I think with a ton of craftsmen, your profession is a truly be-cautious what-you-wish-for situation. You need to do music full-time.” After moving on from school, Ezra froze that he would “always be unable to do music full-time… And at that point, a minor five, after six years, I didn’t know I needed to do music full-time either, in light of the fact that I’d been worn out and about. Finding that parity is precarious, and possibly a few people see it as a cliché word, yet happiness is something imperative.”
Demonstrating that the music world is littler than we might suspect, Ezra’s work with Beyonce earned him a Grammy assignment in 2016. He’s credited as an author and maker on her tune, “Hold Up,” from her milestone collection, Lemonade. Goodness, and the motivation behind why Kanye surged the Grammys’ phase in 2015? He was furious after Beck‘s Morning Phase collection prevailed upon – shock! – Beyonce’s 2013 self-titled discharge.
