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 Rebecca Black, Brockhampton, Foushee, and Josh Kinney.
Join us inside…
Rebecca Black – Crumbs
11 years after her song ‘Friday’ went viral, Rebecca Black has taken that attention and turned into one of the most interesting music careers in recent years. Now, gearing up to release her debut album ‘Let It Burn,’ she has shared what to expect from the project with the hypnotic song ‘Crumbs.’ An exhilarating dance beat guides the song as Black croons in sultry whispers. If there is one thing that ‘Crumbs’ proves, it is that Black is more than a social media sensation, but a true budding pop star.
