She sings like three notes with her voice at the same time, so when we lost to her that was fine. “The first Grammy loss, we actually really loved the song by Lalah Hathaway (“Something”). The band followed that up with another Grammy nod earlier this year with “Breathing Underwater” - a tribute to Stevie Wonder, Saalfield says - but again didn’t bring home the golden gramophone, losing to the Weeknd’s “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Gray).” The former, off its full-length debut album “Tawk Tomahawk,” earned Hiatus Kaiyote’s first Grammy nomination for best R&B performance in 2013. Inspired by global music, everywhere from Ethiopia to Indonesia, Saalfield digs deep when it comes to crooning tunes like Hiatus Kaiyote’s hit “Nakamarra” or creating such complex lyrics for songs like “Chivalry Is Not Dead” (inspired by the sex scene in “Purple Rain”). “She’ll be painting, while I’ll be playing, so it’ll be sick!” “She’s one of my besties, and she’ll be at Outside Lands, too,” Saalfield says.
