Here at That Grape Juice, we love all things R&B! So, fittingly, we’ve teamed up with DJ Ace – one of the UK’s most revered R&B connoisseurs and host of BBC 1Xtra‘s weekly series Everything RNB (which airs Sundays at 10pm).
Each week he’ll be rounding up his latest show and previewing what’s upcoming on the next episode. Right here on That Grape Juice.
Without further ado, check out the latest installment with DJ Ace below…
Your boy Ace is back with yet another #SPOTLIGHT3! I’ll be putting you onto the hottest new R&B, that you need to have on rotation this week.
****************
Ari Lennox – Pressure
Ari Lennox has released her first solo single of 2021 entitled ‘Pressure.’ The track is accompanied by very creative visuals, referencing music videos throughout the years. The release of new music seems to signal a full-length project in the works.

Alicia Keys – LALA (ft. Swae Lee)
Alicia Keys has returned with a new single ‘LALA’ featuring Swae Lee of Rae Sremmurd. The Mike Will Made-It produced track samples Tyrone Davis’ 1970’s offering ‘In The Mood.’
Keys says “this song is the beginning of a world you’ll never want to leave.”
********************
Alana Maria – LALA (E.P)
‘LALA’ is the first E.P from West London’s very own Alana Maria. The 6-track project features Backroad Gee, Kranium and Midas The Jagaban. I’ve been spinning her song ‘Switch It Up’ on 1Xtra’s R&B Show over the past few weeks, and this Sunday, Alana will be stopping by the show to talk all things ‘LALA.’.
********************
Catch me on 1Xtra’s R&B Show this Sunday from 10pm, where I’ll be spinning more brand new R&B from all four corners of the globe. As well as my special guest Alana Maria, Manchester’s Prima will be taking on this week’s #RNB1TAKE.
