CHEWING ON BEST NEW ARTISTS: MÅNESKIN

We thought we'd break out our Grammy Chew consideration of top Best New Artist contenders into individual nuggets. Next up: World-conquering Italian rockers Måneskin.

Here’s something that rarely happens anymore: A rock band, fearlessly embracing glam and proto-punk, seizes the world’s attention—first with a Eurovision win, then global dominion. Here’s something that’s never happened before: Said band comes from Italy. Arista/Sony Latin’s sexed-up foursome didn’t just break all the rules; they made their own. We’re guessing Grammy would like to have this sexy, disruptive crew on the show and in the mix.
