Artists including John Legend and Carrie Underwood are set to take the stage for the upcoming Grammy Awards ceremony, where singer Beyonce could dominate with her hit 2016 album 鈥淟emonade.鈥�

Mr. Legend, Ms. Underwood, Metallica, and Keith Urban are all set to perform at the Grammys ceremony, which will take place on Feb. 12.聽

Beyonce has received the most Grammy nominations of any artist this year, with The Recording Academy bestowing nine on the 鈥淔ormation鈥� singer. Rihanna, Kanye West, and Drake follow behind, with each having gotten eight nods.

Beyonce achieved the feat of being the most-nominated artist this year by releasing the album 鈥淟emonade,鈥� which came out last April. The work is nominated for album of the year, while her song 鈥淔ormation,鈥� which appears on the album, is nominated for record of the year. Other nominations received by the singer include song of the year (also for 鈥淔ormation鈥�), best pop solo performance (for the song 鈥淗old Up鈥�), and best urban contemporary album, for 鈥淟emonade."聽

鈥淟emonade鈥� was viewed by critics as an impressive achievement when it was released. An hour-long 鈥淟emonade鈥� film aired on HBO as well.聽

Telegraph writer Jonathan Bernstein called 鈥淟emonade鈥� 鈥渂y far Beyonce鈥檚 strongest album,鈥� while Chicago Tribune writer Greg Kot found that it 鈥渃ontains singer鈥檚 most fully realized music yet 鈥� the artist鈥檚 most accomplished and cohesive work yet.鈥� 鈥楲emonade鈥� is more than just a play for pop supremacy. It鈥檚 the work of an artist who is trying to get to know herself better, for better or worse, and letting the listeners/viewers in on the sometimes brutal self-interrogation.鈥�

Meanwhile, NME writer Larry Bartleet thought that 鈥渨here her huge team fails to innovate is on the album鈥檚 drab middle few cuts about acceptance and forgiveness鈥� but that overall, 鈥渢he final four tracks see quality return, and penultimate track 鈥楢ll Night,鈥� in particular, is one of Beyonc茅鈥檚 most nuanced vocal performances to date.鈥�
