Playlist: Singer/songwriter Seth Glier, plus 10 more

Brian Mansfield and Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY
Seth Glier has a new album out called 'Things I Should Let You Know.'

Fans of classic pop are embracing this singer/songwriter, whose album, Things I Should Let You Know, was just released. Here, Glier's in a city of prophets and poets, stripped of ideals, wondering "if I gave it up or just gave in." He's not completely lost — the song's lustrous chorus lights his way back. — Brian Mansfield

THE PLAYLIST

USA TODAY music critic Edna Gundersen highlights 10 tracks from projects nominated for Grammy Awards.

Little Black Submarines , The Black Keys
The Akron, Ohio, duo revs from an acoustic purr to full-throttle rock on this standout from El Camino, which is up for best album.

Bad Religion , Frank Ocean
The Odd Future singer's twist on Taxicab Confessions is just one of many sublime tunes on Channel Orange, another best-album entry.

Slut Like You , Pink
Pink's raw, hilarious rant rides a killer melody, like most tracks on The Truth About Love, a contender for pop vocal album.

Satisfied , Tom Waits
Keith Richards' ragged riffs bolster this brash gem from Bad as Me, which is up for alternative album.

Slow It Down , The Lumineers
Countering the cheer of hit Ho Hey is this melancholy plaint from the band's self-titled album, an Americana nominee.

Down to You , Bonnie Raitt
The singer's glorious Slipstream, an Americana-album challenger, ranges from heartfelt ballads and stunning covers to this blues cooker.

My Valentine , Paul McCartney
Macca's jazzy Tin Pan Alley ballad, an instant standard, makes his Kisses on the Bottom a favorite in traditional pop.

Todo En Mi Vida Eres Tú , Juanes
The Colombian rocker stretches in a cello-laced ballad on his diverse MTV Unplugged, a strong contender in Latin pop.

Dougou Badia , Amadou & Mariam
Santigold lends her voice to a sterling example of the duo's brilliant fusions on Folila, a world-music-album candidate.

911 , Rick Ross
Greed and grace collide as the rhyme master steers a Porsche to heaven on a track from God Forgives, I Don't, which is in the rap-album category.
