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 Ava Max, Louis Tomlinson, The 1975, and Flor.

Join us inside…

Ava Max – Million Dollar Baby

While the summer may be coming to a close, Ava Max has come to deliver a late song of the summer contender with her single ‘Million Dollar Baby.’ Serving as the most recent release from her upcoming ‘Diamonds & Dancefloors’ album – due out January 27 – she delivers a sultry pop anthem that is worthy of the dance floor she references in her album title.

Louis Tomlinson – Bigger Than Me

His first single since 2020 and the first single from his upcoming album ‘Faith in the Future’ – due out November 11 – Tomlinson delivers a soaring, emotional anthem that is dedicated to catharsis.

The 1975 – I’m In Love With You

On their third single from their upcoming ‘Being Funny in a Foreign Language’ album – due out October 14 – Matt Healy and the rest of the boys deliver a stunning pop anthem complete with shimmering synths and warm guitars. A contender for best song on the album, ‘I’m In Love With You’ sees the boys at their most pop, but also at their most brilliant.

Flor – Every Night

Indie rockers Flor are back with their latest single, ‘Every Night.’ The song serves as their first release since their album ‘Future Shine’ earlier this year. A propulsive pop-rock song, the tune features prominent guitars, pounding drums, and grooving bass. A first-rate song from one of music’s brightest rising stars, ‘Every Night’ is a tour de force of making music with passion and purpose.
