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 Bebe Rexha, Noah Cyrus, Tegan and Sara, and Miles.

Join us inside…

Bebe Rexha – I’m Good (Blue)

Bebe Rexha and EDM superstar David Guetta have teamed for a new collaboration, a remake of the classic song ‘Blue.’ Containing the same melody as the original, ‘I’m Good’ is amplified with updated production and a pulsating, electronic beat. In a time of rehashes and uninspired samples, Bebe Rexha proves that she has the charisma and talent to transcend musical trends to create something truly unique.

Noah Cyrus – Every Beginning Ends

On the latest single from her upcoming album ‘The Hardest Part’ – due out September 16 – Noah Cyrus joins forces with Death Cab For Cutie member Ben Gibbard. Entitled ‘Every Beginning Ends,’ the acoustic ballad is laced with touches of guitar and pedal steel. Lyrically, it documents the end of a relationship. While it may be the fourth single from the album, ‘Every Beginning Ends’ nonetheless serves as a testament that Cyrus’ upcoming album is already one of the year’s best.

Tegan and Sara – Faded Like A Feeling

Primarily known for their hit song ‘Closer,’ sisters Tegan and Sara have been steadily putting out music ever since. Their latest song – ‘Faded Like A Feeling’ – serves as the third single from their upcoming ‘Crybaby’ album, due out October 21. A delicate and somber ballad, ‘Faded Like A Feeling’ finds the group contemplating the ups and downs of a relationship set to the tune of sparse acoustic guitars and a gentle backbeat. Another triumph for Tegan and Sara, ‘Faded Like A Feeling’ is genius levels of complexity unlike any of their previous songs.

Primarily a pop-rock tune that is complete with pounding drums and bright guitars, ‘Never Have I Ever’ is pure fun from start to finish. His strongest work to date, ‘Never Have I Ever’ proves the undeniable star power that Miles has.
