That Grape Juice Interviews Diane Warren

diane warren That Grape Juice Interviews Diane Warren

She’s your favorite’s favorite and arguably the most sought after female songwriter of all time. Lending her pen to hits such as ‘Unbreak My Heart’, ‘I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing’, and more, Diane Warren has seen her name inked in history books almost as many times as she’s inked hits for the likes of Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mary J. Blige, and countless others – most recently Beyonce for ‘A Star is Born’.

Recognized four times Billboard’s Songwriter of the Year and six times ASCAP Songwriter of the Year, Warren tells That Grape Juice there are still unconquered territories in her already decorated career.  Giving us the scoop on her latest sessions with Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, and more, she dishes on her feelings on Rihanna and Nicki Minaj while addressing rumors that she is currently working with Pop icon Whitney Houston!

All this and more after the jump…

Exclusive: Tamar Braxton Talks New Single, Album, & More!

For years, the name ‘Braxton’ has been synomous with singer Toni.

Yet, after We tv series ‘Braxton Family Values’ hit it big, it’s Tamar who’s been on the lips of everyone and their mom.

The youngest of the Braxton clan, Tamar has been the show’s break-out star, etching words such as ‘dot com’, ‘dot org’, and ‘dot life’ into public consciousness. Now, the 34 year old hopes to etch herself into the favour of record-buyers, as she re-launches her solo career.

That Grape Juice TV‘s Patrick caught up with the singer at last week’s Los Angeles screening of ‘Braxton Family Values’. During their frank chat, Braxton dished on her forthcoming single, sound, and much more. As ever, Tamar was very much Tamar!

That Grape Juice Interviews Mary J. Blige

All Hail Queen Mary!

Indeed, the 20 illustrious years of Mary J. Blige‘s career have seen her rise through the ranks to the status she enjoys today – music royalty.

And with the prime driver of this being the warts and all sharing of her life (with her ever-identifying audience), it’s apt that Blige is on the brink of releasing a new album titled ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues’. A sequel of sorts to 1994′s ‘My Life’, this outing sees the Grammy winner in an altogether different space and place.

In one of her only UK interviews this year, the Urban icon talks to That Grape Juice about the LP, her struggles, wanting to commit suicide, collaborating with Beyonce, her thoughts on the “new breed” of R&B females, coaching on The Voice (UK), her next album, and a so much more!

As ever, we ask the questions others won’t. And answer them, a candid, Mary does.

‘My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act I)’ arrives in stores globally on November 21st

Exclusive: Dawn Richard Talks Danity Kane, Dirty Money, New Album & More

Since erupting on the scene as part of Danity Kane, Dawn Richard has not looked back.

The talented songstress parted ways with the popular quintuple back in 2008, yet didn’t allow the very public disbanding to deter her quest for stardom. Indeed, the immediate aftermath saw her regroup (quite literally), becoming a shining force in experimental trio Diddy-Dirty Money.

Now back on her singular hustle, the singer-songwriter chatted it up with That Grape Juice about her stint in both groups, her current label predicament, debut solo LP, and much more. Check it out above!

That Grape Juice Interviews Kreayshawn

18 million.

That is the impressive number of views newcomer Kreayshawn has amassed with the video for her debut single ‘Gucci Gucci’. A figure rendered all the more jaw-dropping when discovering that much of it accumulated prior to the 21 year old signing with Columbia Records.

Yet, as her recent deal with the Sony Music imprint attests, this Oakland native’s buzz is undeniable. Which begs the question: just who is Kreayshawn?

That Grape Juice sat down with the femcee, chatting it up with her about her journey thus far, the White Girl Mob, issues of colour and whether she feels her own has hindered her from being taken seriously, Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim, and more.

As ever, we ask the questions you really want answers to.

That Grape Juice Interviews The Saturdays

Fierce Pop collective The Saturdays have been scorching up the charts with their latest effort ‘All Fired Up’. The title is apt for the group’s success more wholly, as the last three years have seen the ladies wrack up an impressive 9 top 10 singles on the Official UK Singles Chart.

With Rochelle and co poised to add to that with their highest ever first week sales this week, That Grape Juice sat down with them to talk many a topic, including: their success to date, lip-syncing, their forthcoming album, the Sugababes drama, and much more. An impromptu acapella concludes the candid chat. Enjoy!

That Grape Juice Interviews Big Sean

big sean interview 4 That Grape Juice Interviews Big Sean

Undoubtedly one of the year’s biggest breakout stars, Big Sean has made many sit-up and listen.

Aged just 23, the Detroit native is Def Jam / G.O.O.D Music‘s latest offering – and if the immense buzz surrounding the Kanye West protégée is anything to go by, he may be one of their biggest yet.

We caught up with the rapper, real name Sean Michael Anderson, here in London last week – where he chatted it up with us about many a topic including his persistance in getting Kanye to support his cause, his rise to prominence, collaborating with Kelly Rowland and more.

Hit ‘PLAY’ above for all the action.
