Featuring Tauren Wells, Josiah Queen, Jekalyn Carr, and Adrienne Bailon ft. New Breed, each video will premiere on GRAMMY.com and the Recording Academy YouTube Channel throughout April:

April 7th - Tauren Wells

April 14th - Josiah Queen

April 21st - Jekalyn Carr

April 28th - Adrienne Bailon ft. New Breed
