Lazar recalled being the first female mastering engineer to win a Grammy, for Best Engineered Album-Non-Classical, for her work on Beck’s 2017 album “Colors.” “We were all up on the stage together but none of them were aware that this was a ceiling-breaking moment,” she said.The song won two awards in 2008 just after it was released.

And it’s something that didn’t even exist. “They have songwriter camps, they have tons of things.

“It’s unbelievable and incredible and an asset for any young woman who wants to get in the field, get experience,” Lazar said. The selection of panelists was no accident, as the low number of female producers and engineers in the industry is a focal point of Keys’ female-empowerment organization She Is The Music.

The opportunity now exists through advancing technology for convenience plus quality and we know that music fans want to hear all of the music, not a truncated or degraded version of it.” Stapleton added, “We know that audio quality really matters in terms of detail in the instrumentation, the emotion that was in the performance, space dynamics- it’s a really noticeable difference,” said Stapleton. “Our vision is really simple, we want to take the music exactly the way it was recorded in the studio and to deliver it to music fans. Back in September, the company launched Amazon Music HD, which features an extensive catalog of lossless sound that is available to stream in the US, UK, Germany and Japan.

The new album will be Keys’ first to become available in immersive audio upon release, with plans to re-release her “As I Am” and “The Diary of Alicia Keys” in HD audio formats as well. The 15-time Grammy winner was joined on the panel - which was titled “A New Era of Music: HD Streaming” and moderated by Variety contributor Andrew Hampp - by veteran engineer and Lodge founder Emily Lazar (herself a Grammy winner) and Amazon Music’s North American head of label relations Andre Stapleton.ĭuring the discussion, Keys talked about the role high-definition audio played in putting together her upcoming studio album “Alicia,” which will include the single “Underdog” that Keys co-wrote with Ed Sheeran and premiered on Thursday (January 9).
