## Key points

- Jill Scott is the early frontrunner for best R&B album.
- Kehlani is close behind after recent chart and Grammy success.
- PJ Morton and several possible first-time nominees are also in contention.

## Summary

Jill Scott is tipped to lead a more competitive best R&B album race at the 2027 Grammys, with Kehlani close behind. Scott’s first full-length album in 11 years has earned strong reviews and chart success, making her a possible contender for album of the year as well as R&B categories.

Kehlani’s self-titled album reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, while she won two R&B Grammys last year. Other potential nominees include PJ Morton, Chris Brown, Masego, The Womack Sisters and Kenyon Dixon. Brown’s chances may be weakened by a poorly received album and recent controversies, while the others bring new projects, touring or growing recognition.
