Few talents today come as multi-dimensional as Victoria Monet. 

The singer-songwriter is a rising star in her own right, yet has also penned some of the most successful bops from some of the contemporary climate’s most notable names – such as Ariana Grande. 

Her work with the songbird – which includes ‘Thank U, Next’ – saw her nominated at the 2020 GRAMMYs – where That Grape Juice caught up with her on the red carpet.

As well as rooting for Ari, Monet also opened up about her own incoming material, which’ll serve as the follow-up to the super saucy ‘A** Like That.’

Check out her interview with TGJ above.

Dua Lipa is strutting on full steam to the April 3rd release of sophomore album ‘Future Nostalgia.’

To turbo-charge its chances of success, the two-time GRAMMY winner has unleashed its latest single ‘Physical.’

A high-octane synth-Pop bop, the track ups the ante set by lead ‘Don’t Start Now’ and makes Lipa’s sonic agenda with the project potently clear: she’s reaching into the past and fusing the funk of the 70s and 80s with contemporary sounds.
