With the 51st Grammy Awards just around the corner, Spinner obtained some exclusive artwork, featuring Stevie Wonder, Rihanna and Lil Wayne, surrounding and promoting the soireee. Each of the three artists, in addition to Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Lenny Kravitz, provided a list of at least 15 songs that inspire them. Those song titles were then morphed into portraits of the artists' faces. The art will be featured on various billboards, TV spots and online campaigns leading up to the big night on Feb. 8. Here's your sneak preview.
