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’m back with yet another #SPOTLIGHT3! I’ll be putting you onto some of the biggest tracks that are ringing off on my radar right now.
FKA Twigs – Careless (ft. Daniel Caesar)
FKA Twigs’ album ‘Caprisongs’ dropped this past week and features the likes of Pa Salieu, Jorja Smith, and Rema. She also enlisted the help of Daniel Caesar on her track ‘Careless.’ FKA Twigs showcased her signature angelic vocals, alongside Daniel’s distinctive tone.

Bea Anderson – Mirror Mirror
Bea Anderson is a name you will definitely be hearing a lot of this year. Her debut EP ‘Eden’ dropped in May 2021 and it most definitely made waves with tracks like ‘Easy’ and ‘Nauseous.’ ‘Mirror Mirror’ is Bea’s latest soulful offering, and is accompanied by beach-side visuals.

Tinashe – X (ft. Jeremih)
‘X’ is the latest single from Tinashe, but was originally released back in August last year as part of her album ‘333,’ with Jeremih listed as a feature. The song is a playful and catchy track that you just know be used for a number of IG captions! The video is very futuristic and even follows a storyline where we get to see Tinashe putting her acting skills to the test.
