Lydia Ainsworth - Can You Find Her Place

The beautiful visual for Lydia Ainsworth’s Can You Find Her Place is heavily inspired by Boticelli’s painting Primavera, a mythological allegory of the fertility of the earth. Throughout the video, characters resembling the Greek gods of the painting dancing as they surround the singer. The video is light and colourful, which perfectly accompany Ainsworth’s vocals.

The song touches on the idea of all of the places you can find strength in the face of humanity's hubris and sings from a unique POV,  "In my song Can You Find Her Place I am singing from the perspective of a Greek choir, setting the stage for Mother Nature’s reveal.”

Here’s Why ‘Shake It to the Max’ Was Deemed Ineligible at the 2026 Grammys — And Why Its Label Calls the Decision ‘Devoid of Any Common Sense’

Representatives from the Recording Academy and gamma. CEO Larry Jackson comment on one of this year's most shocking Grammy snubs.

Few phrases define the year in music and culture like Moliy’s scintillating directive to “shake it to the max.” The Ghanaian singer’s sultry voice reverberated across the globe, blending her own Afropop inclinations with Jamaican dancehall-informed production, courtesy of Miami-based duo Silent Addy and Disco Neil. Originally released in December 2024, Moliy’s breakthrough global crossover hit ascended to world domination, peaking at No. 6 on the Global 200, thanks to a remix featuring dancehall superstars Shenseea and Skillibeng. Simply put, “Max” soundtracked a seismic moment in African and Caribbean music in 2025.

Given its blockbuster success, “Shake It to the Max” was widely expected to be a frontrunner in several categories at the 2026 Grammys. In fact, had the song earned a nomination for either best African music performance or best global music performance, many forecasters anticipated a victory. So, when “Shake It to the Max” failed to appear on the final list of 2026 Grammy nominees in any category earlier this month (Nov. 7), listeners across the world were left scratching their heads — none more than gamma. CEO Larry Jackson.
