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 sadHappy, Riize, Rosie Darling, and Jenny Owen Youngs .

Join us inside…

sadHappy – Say Goodbye

Rising pop superstar sadHappy has released his debut EP and on it is the title track, ‘Say Goodbye.’ An electronic-pop tune, the song is complete with emotional lyrics that not only showcase a beautiful juxtaposition, but also sadHappy’s insane versatility.

Riize – Memories

K-pop’s freshest boy group Riize is on the rise and have released their new track called ‘Memories.’ Serving as the b-side to their upcoming debut single ‘Get A Guitar,’ ‘Memories’ is the perfect blend of pop sensibility and hip-hop influence that proves Riize has the ability to become the next big K-pop sensation.

Rosie Darling – Villain

Singer Rosie Darling is back with her latest track. Called ‘Villain,’ the song itself is a delicate pop tune complete with a twinkling piano and lyrics that focus on accepting our flaws. Deep, honest, and cathartic, ‘Villain’ positions Rosie as one of this generation’s brightest talents.

Jenny Owen Youngs – It’s Later Than You Think

Singer-songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs has released her newest tune, ‘It’s Later Than You Thin.’ The song serves as a single to her upcoming album ‘Avalanche’ – out September 22 – and is indie-influenced slice of pop that focuses on the passing of time. An essential in her catalogue, ‘It’s Later Than You Think’ stands among her best work thus far.
