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…
It’s your boy Ace, and I am back to put you onto some of the hottest new R&B, with yet another dope #SPOTLIGHT3!
Alicia Keys – Best of Me (Original & Unlocked)
This week on 1Xtra’s R&B Show, I’ll be pressing play on my interview with the QUEEN, Miss Alicia Keys! We chopped it up about her forthcoming album ‘Keys’ and her massive 2022 world tour.
‘Best of Me’ is the newest single taken from the album, and she has provided us with both an original and reworked ‘Unlocked’ version. Both are absolutely dope, and I’m looking forward to spinning the album when it drops.

Snoh Aalegra – Neon Peach (ft. Tyler, The Creator)
Well, if this isn’t the most random collaboration, then I don’t know what is! Snoh Aalegra linked up with Tyler, The Creator on ‘Neon Peach.’
Tyler produced the track, along with one other song on Snoh’s album, ‘Temporary Highs In The Violet Skies.’ You can definitely tell Tyler had a heavy influence on the video’s concept.

Mario – Get Back (ft. Chris Brown)
Mario has made his comeback with his new track ‘Get Back’ and enlisted the help of Chris Brown. Speaking about the collaboration, Mario said “being able to continue to make memorable moments that will contribute to R&B being a mainstream genre, means a lot to me.”
