Silk City & Dua Lipa Win Best Dance Recording For "Electricity" | 2019 GRAMMYs
Silk City, aka Diplo and Mark Ronson, along with featured artist Dua Lipa, won Best Dance Recording for "Electricity" at the 61st GRAMMY Awards.
This is Lipa's first GRAMMY win; she also won Best New Artist later in the evening. It is Diplo's third career GRAMMY and Ronson's seventh, as he also took home another win as a songwriter on Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's "Shallow."
During the speech, Diplo gave a shoutout to all of the collaborators on the record, along with the fellow nominees, who he is a "huge fan" of all of them.
Fellow nominees for Best Dance Recording for 2018 were Above & Beyond featuring Richard Bedford ("Northern Soul"), Disclosure featuring Fatoumata Diawara ("Ultimatum"), Fisher ("Losing It") and Virtual Self ("Ghost Voices").
Silk City and Lipa released "Electricity" in September 2018. The song has since become a popular hit, peaking at No. 5 on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.
Lipa is a first-time GRAMMY nominee and winner. Diplo earned his first two career wins at the 58th GRAMMY Awards for Jack Ü, his collab with Skrillex. They won Best Dance Recording for "Where Are Ü Now" featuring Justin Bieber and Best Dance/Electronic Album for Skrillex And Diplo Present Jack Ü.
Ronson's previous GRAMMY wins include recognition as a producer on Amy Winehouse's 2006 studio album, Back To Black.
