The Spill On…Johnta Austin

Ever keen on keeping the masses abreast of fresh and/or often underrated talent, That Grape Juice presents ‘The Spill’ – a renewed look at not-so-new, yet active, acts.

Much like its ‘Freshly Squeezed’ sister segment, this revived assay aims to put the magnifying glass on talents who may not appeal to the buying public on a broad scale yet are still serving material that could easily spin side-by-side with some of today’s top hits.

Covering a kaleidoscope of genres, ‘The Spill’ is set to feature some names you probably know and love as well as some you’ll (soon) be glad to know. Click below to find out the spill on hit R&B singer/songwriter Johnta Austin…

While some may only know him for his 2006 modest R&B hit ‘Turn It Up’, most know him as the mastermind behind such modern R&B classics ‘Be Without You’ (Mary J. Blige), ‘We Belong Together’ (Mariah Carey), and numbers included on a number of top divas’ albums.

Now the crooner is back in front of the mic with the ‘Love’ EP – the first of three collections set to showcase some of the hitmaker’s solo dealings. Already drumming up buzz across the net, if the follow-ups ‘Sex’ and ‘Religion’ are offering even half the goods ‘Love’ have, we are sure it will be met with much fanfare. Until then, however, get into Austin’s EP below:
