Gordie's Midday Gossip - Marsha Ambrosia is back

Marsha Ambrosius recalled telling Dr. Dre she was ready to end her recording career. He urged her to rethink this decision, believing she still had one more album to share with the world. Casablanco turned out to be that album, which arrived via Aftermath Records/Interscope Records. The Dr. Dre-produced project has now led to her first Grammy nomination in a decade. The Recording Academy has recognized “Wet,” the album’s newest single, by nominating it for Best Traditional R&B Performance. This category highlights “new vocal or instrumental traditional R&B recordings.”

Here is the full list of 2024 nominees for Best Traditional R&B Performance:

Marsha Ambrosius – “Wet”

Kenyon Dixon – “Can I Have This Groove”

Lalah Hathaway Featuring Michael McDonald – “No Lie”

Muni Long – “Make Me Forget”

Lucky Daye – “That’s You”

Prior to this, Ambrosius had not received a nomination from The Recording Academy since the 57th Grammy Awards in 2015. Noticeably, Ambrosius’ return to the Grammy competition in 2025 marks her 10th career nomination. She scored her first nomination in 2003 as one-half of the duo Floetry.
