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 Calvin Harris, Charli XCX, Big Time Rush, and Yungblud.

Join us inside…

Calvin Harris – New Money

Calvin Harris continues the rollout for his upcoming ‘Fun Wave Bounces Volume 2’ project. This time around, he has shared his 21 Savage collaboration, ‘New Money.’ Fusing hip-hop with elements of yacht rock and even a guitar solo, the pair creates a track that is as light and fun as a warm summer breeze.

Charli XCX – Hot In It

Pop star Charli XCX released her latest album ‘Crash’ earlier this year, however, that has not stopped her from sharing more new music. Teaming with EDM producer Tiësto, the two join forces for the song ‘Hot In It.’ First teased on TikTok earlier this year, the song is a dance-pop track with a crisp beat and lyrics that involve taking to the dance floor to get over a breakup. Catchy in all the right ways, ‘Hot In It’ could be one of the songs of the summer.

Big Time Rush – Honey

After reuniting, the boys of Big Time Rush have been steadily pushing out new tunes. Their latest one, ‘Honey,’ is a delicious slice of fun-infused pop that is completed with fizzy synths, a grooving bass line, and touches of cowbell. Easily one of their strongest releases since reuniting, ‘Honey’ is bound to get stuck in your head in the sweetest way possible.

Yungblud – Don’t Feel Like Feeling Sad Today

Yungblud is ready to get the serotonin flowing on his most recent release, ‘Don’t Feel Like Feeling Sad Today.’ Appearing on his upcoming self-titled album, the song is a jaunty pop-rock jam with an irresistible chorus. Short but ever so sweet, ‘Don’t Feel Like Feeling Sad Today’ is a standout tune from the singer’s discography.
