The Pop Stop: Jackson Wang, Tove Lo, & More Deliver This Week’s Hidden Gems

Published: Friday 29th Jul 2022 by Ryan

Readers of That Grape Juice know how passionate we are about music – whether that be past or present.

However, unlike our other segments – Retro Rewind, TGJ Replay, and From The Vault – The Pop Stop is the most in-depth look at Pop songs that may have flown under the radar over the last week that you should know, rather they be from music’s biggest stars or those on the rise.

This week, we want to highlight cuts from Jackson Wang, Tove Lo, Hailee Steinfeld, and Boys World.

Join us inside…

Jackson Wang – Cruel

Riding on the heels of his successful single ‘Blow,’ GOT7 member Jackson Wang is back with his latest song, ‘Cruel.’ Previously unveiled at Coachella, ‘Cruel’ is a gritty, pop-rock song complete with pounding drums, roaring guitars, and hazy backing vocals. While his album ‘Magic Man’ may not come out until September 9, it is hard to imagine Wang being anything but a rock star thanks to ‘Cruel.’

Tove Lo – 2 Die 4

Serving as the most recent single from her upcoming album ‘Dirt Femme’ – due out October 14 – Tove Lo has released the song ‘2 Die 4.’ Sampling Hot Butter’s iconic 1972 hit ‘Popcorn’ the song is complete with high-energy synths and a dancing beat. Continuing to prove why she is one of the most underrated artists in pop currently, ‘2 Die 4’ is Tove Lo at her most danceable and accessible.

Hailee Steinfeld – Coast

After a break away, singer and actress Hailee Steinfeld has made her grand return to music. This time around, she has linked up with Anderson .Paak for the song ‘Coast.’ A breezy, chill-inducing guitar-and-percussion-driven single that is perfect for those summer trips to the beach.

Boys World – So What

Rising pop group Boys World is back with its latest single, ‘So What.’ A bouncing trap-pop song, it is reminiscent of some of Little Mix’s biggest and best songs. However, Boys World is more than just another run-of-the-mill girl group. On ‘So What’ they bring their own brand of sass and healing, helping to solidify themselves as the next bona fide superstar group.

    Tove Lo 🤦‍♂️ what happened to her? I was a fan, she was creative. I don’t like the 3 singles from that new album to come, and can somebody tells me why she has to wear a fake D in the video of 2 die 4? Like, seriously? She walks showing a big D and it’s just okay 🤮
