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 Jonas Brothers, NewJeans, Arizona, and Arden Jones .

Join us inside…

Jonas Brothers – Waffle House

The Jonas Brothers are releasing their new album, ‘The Album,’ on May 12 and the boys have shared the latest taste of the project. Entitled ‘Waffle House,’ the boys pair lush harmonies with vibrant production as they reflect on their past and brotherhood. If marketed right, this could be a song of the summer contender for them.

NewJeans – Zero 

Rising K-pop group NewJeans has had a huge year. Not only have they landed songs on the Hot 100, but they have also partnered with Coke for the single ‘Zero.’ Featuring quirky synths and a rollicking backbeat, NewJeans delivers another ear worm single.

Acclaimed electro-pop trio Arizona is gearing up to release their new self-titled album on May 12. To celebrate the announcement, they have shared the song ‘Dark Skies’ from the project. All about facing your fears and being there for loved ones, Arizona completes the song with pulsating synths and a pounding backbeat. No stranger to making pop bangers, Arizona has outdone themselves with this one.
