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, as always, I am here to put you onto the newest R&B drops, for your listening pleasure.
Kelis – Midnight Snacks
Kelis has made her return to music, after stepping away from the limelight to pursue a career as a chef. ‘Midnight Snacks,’ which was produced by The Fanatix, draws on her love of food to cleverly disguise the suggestive lyrics. Speaking about the track, Kelis said, “I like the fact that you can take sex and food, and you can put these two things together, and they’re totally interchangeable. I love that.”

Robert Glasper – Shine (ft. D Smoke & Tiffany Gouché)
Robert Glasper, who has four GRAMMY Awards under his belt, has enlisted the help of ‘Rhythm & Flow’ season 1 winner D Smoke and rising singer Tiffany Gouché for his newest track, ‘Shine’. The release of his new single follows the announcement of a string of shows in New York City, and live-streamed performances.

BenjiFlow – My Bella (ft. Oxlade)
‘My Bella,’ which features Nigerian singer Oxlade, is the latest offering from North London’s very own BenjiFlow. He has revealed he produced the track himself; ‘My Bella’ will feature on his upcoming project entitled ‘The Thrill.’ There are no visuals as of yet, but I can imagine they will follow the same unique route as his previous videos.
