Today is a big day for The Recording Academy, as later this morning, they will announce the full list of nominees for the 63rd annual Grammy Awards. Ahead of that, though, they shared some other significant news related to the ceremony, which is set to take place on January 31, 2021. Hosting the show will be somebody who has plenty of experience with hosting: The Daily Show‘s Trevor Noah.
Noah says of the hosting gig, “Despite the fact that I am extremely disappointed that the #GRAMMYs have refused to have me sing or be nominated for Best Pop Album, I am thrilled to be hosting this auspicious event.”

While Noah isn’t exactly a music figure, he’s no stranger to the Grammys: His 2018 stand-up special, Trevor Noah: Son Of Patricia, was nominated for Best Comedy Album last year. Noah didn’t take home the award, as it went to Dave Chappelle for his Sticks & Stones special. Noah was also a presenter at the 2020 Grammys, so he’s spent time on that stage before.
He does have some experience with the music industry, though, as he has had some of the biggest figures in music on The Daily Show over the past couple years. Since 2018, the program has hosted performances from people like Anderson .Paak, Jason Isbell, and Margo Price. On the show, Noah has also interviewed Lizzo, Logic, and Pusha T.
The list of Grammy nominees will be revealed soon, so keep an eye on Uproxx to stay informed about who will be up for what awards.
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

“Summer Is Gone” by Anjalts is an ode to fading romance”
“Summer Is Gone,” a pop song by Anjalts, is thoughtful and emotionally very clear, and it feels like the last golden hour before fall truly sets in. The song is a melancholy reflection on the changing seasons and a fading romance. It has both a sting and warmth, drawing you toward some space of reflection that feels cinematic.
The production of “Summer Is Gone” sounds bright like a half-forgotten memory you can almost reach out and touch, but can never fully revive. Anjalts, a solid producer and storyteller, delivers quiet emotion, and the performance allows you to attach your own memories while maintaining its specific roots.
The song, the production, and the mood all connect so well that it feels like the seasons are changing. But beneath that ease is a deeper emotional current, a quiet awareness that something beautiful has stopped. As a prolific songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Anjalts continues to prove versatility with diverse styles and artistic vision. “Summer Is Gone” also touches on growth, reflection, and memories that follow us. It waits to remind us, touch us, that there is still ugliness or beauty to remember in the ending.

Luke Panayiotou crafts intimacy and discovers love and purpose on “Am I In Love Again?” EP
“Am I In Love Again?” by Luke Panayiotou arrives as a quiet confession after years of silence, an intimate, self-made EP that’s his first release after a five-year hiatus, and it sounds so honest. This 3-song, 12-minute project is a reintroduction, and everything was written, performed, and arranged by the artist.
And since the EP combines acoustic, folk, rock, and ambient singer-songwriter sounds, it has a natural, personal feel. The recording was done at Oscillate Recording Studios in Knutsford/ Manchester with a warmth that allows Panayiotou’s vocals to shine through. The most emotional song on the EP is the title track, “Am I in Love Again.” It quietly examines falling back in love, the short bursts of overwhelming emotion that help you remember why you fell for someone in the first place.
“Back Around” tells a more contemplative story of perseverance. It’s about setbacks and the quiet resolve to continue, even when it feels like you’re on the verge of success. “Wherever I Go” is a triumphant end to the EP. Its upbeat, unifying energy celebrates connection, romantic, platonic, or otherwise. It accomplishes this by casting loyalty and presence in a more favorable light.
Panayiotou defines every aspect of “Am I In Love Again?,” from the songs to the cover art. This lends the work a cohesive artistic vision that feels both personal and enveloping. This EP shows that sometimes you need to take a step back to step forward with clarity and purpose.
