Fans on the fence after reports of Apple Music’s intent to acquire TIDAL can breathe a sigh of relief knowing insiders at the company are saying the rumor is completely untrue.

After a story posted by Wall Street Journal yesterday, numerous outlets began reporting (and analyzing) the acquisition as the long-sought alleviation of the financial and reputational headache TIDAL was becoming for a number of key players – namely Jay Z.

However, just a day after the story got off the ground, it may already be deflated.  Details inside:

As Zayn Malik grapples the obstacles of solo stardom, the former One Direction star continues winning on the promotional front. His latest major look comes in form of ELLE UK’s September cover.
Second only to David Beckham, the 23-year-old will be the publication’s second ever male to grace the cover. In an attempt to overhaul their aesthetic, the upcoming issue is tipped to be the publications biggest style reinvention of the year.
Available for pre-order this month, the multi-cover issue sees the ‘Pillowtalk’ vocalist reveal his acting aspirations, personal insecurities, and his relationship with model Gigi Hadid. He also addresses his ongoing battle with anxiety since cancelling his appearance at Capital FM’s Summertime Ball last month.
Securing all sorts of promotional opportunities since going solo, it seems all the 23 year old can do is win. Here’s hoping he can replicate his promo

Maxwell-blackSUMMERSnight-640x641-thatgrapejuice

Nearly seven years have separated fans of singer/songwriter Maxwell from new material from the Grammy winner, but that long wait drew to a close today thanks to the release of his latest project ‘blackSUMMERS’night.’

The second installment of a trilogy of albums of the same name (with different emphases), ‘SUMMERS’ has big footsteps to follow given its predecessor’s whopping 316,000 units sold first week.  And, while the new project’s lead single – ‘Lake By the Ocean’ – has made quite the splash on charts (currently buoyed at #1 on R&B charts) – there is an admitted absence of buzz around this installment compared to its platinum-selling forerunner.

Add to this a change in musical landscape (see:  shift in consumption, trap music, etc.) in conjunction with Drake‘s ongoing domination of streaming (an outlet Max’s overall SPS figure will probably benefit least from), it’s pretty clear the ‘Pretty Wings’ singer has an uphill battle before him.

But, if there’s anything his fanbase is proven, is that they’re patient and loyal…

jodie-abacus-thatgrapejuice

Here at That Grape Juice, we’re enamored with the talent of today, but also the rising stars of tomorrow.

Enter Jodie Abacus.

Reared in South-London, the Pop-Funk singer/songwriter has been attracting the attention of music lovers – thanks largely to recent EP ‘For Real Life And Not Pretend.’  

Tracks such as ‘I’ll Be That Friend’ have garnered praise for cutting deep in the most resonating of ways. The Soul-soaked song recalls a time when in the singer’s life all went south and he didn’t have a friend to turn to. Veering away from the “same ol,” lyrically ‘I’ll Be’ sees the rising star swear to be that confidant to someone else when in need.

Also in his repertoire is Coca-Cola endorsement of ‘Hot Kitchen,’ which has been play-listed by the BBC and current single, ‘She’s In Love With The Weekend’ – available to listen to below…

With in album in the works, Jodie is cooking up jams with the likes of Tobias Jesso Jr and Duke Durmont.

We’re buzzed for what’s to come. Take a listen above and let us know if you are too!

Has he achieved his mission?
