Upon dominating the UK market earlier this year with the album, 2013 will welcome the official US launch of Rita Ora.

Undoubtedly hoping to live up expectations placed on her by Columbia / Roc Nation execs, it’s safe to say that this is one LP that can’t afford to under perform, considering it’ll serve as her first American effort and likely her sophomore set on home soil in the UK.

So, with the singer hard at work crafting new jams for this release, it’s time for you to have your say.

Not sure what we’re on about?

Here at That Grape Juice we’re ever keen to ask the questions you really want answers to! As such, when we caught up with Ciara at VH1 Divas 2012 last week, it was almost obligatory that we quizzed the stage blazer on her ‘One Woman Army’ project and the next single(s) to be lifted from the hotly anticipated set.

True to form, Ms. Harris was super coy. However, we can vouch for her comments about “super exciting” developments next year. Watch this space.

No act likes a leak, just ask A$AP Rocky.

After years of sluggish performances, 2012 brought with it a song Rihanna could actually sing well – ‘Diamonds’.

And while her solid live showings of the track have been welcome, nothing tops hearing an actual singer flow over the Benny Blanco helmed hit. Indeed, songwriter SIA proved this with her rendition last month and now Brandy does too.

Recorded recently backstage at a show, The Vocal Bible served up a sermon on how to sing your song better than you.

Notepads at the ready? Ms. Norwood’s brief-but-brilliant showing of ‘Diamonds’ awaits below…

However, whilst most-if not all- of the awards he’s picked up this year have seen him celebrated for his craft, his latest achievement sees him awarded for his- well- sex appeal.
