Surprise!
The above was no doubt what Lady GaGa gave her fans last night, when she premiered her brand new number ‘Venus’ during her set at London’s ‘G-A-Y’.
Released to the world as to encourage pre-order sales of her new LP ‘ARTPOP’ , the jam touched down hours before the star arrives on the X Factor UK to deliver the first televised performance of her new Urban single ‘Do What U Want’.
Listen below!
Boasting cuts that are nothing short of impeccable comes Janelle Monae‘s ‘The Electric Lady‘, the game changing album dominating many a R&B lover’s playlist this year.
Last night, the Monae and the LP made a new friend in NBC’s ‘SNL‘, who welcomed the pair to its stage to perform the cut of the same name… ‘Electric Lady‘.
A distant cousin of TLC‘s ‘Creep’, there’s no doubt ‘Lady’ has the potential to become Monae’s biggest hit to date- sure to reach such heights if she serves more performances like the one waiting for you below!
She’s the R&B royal whose critical acclaim and occasionally untapped commercial pull makes her the unsuspecting envy of many of a Urban hopeful.
So, perhaps in recognising his potential as one of the genre’s trendsetters, the year has seen Keyshia Cole lend her expertise in the field to Roc Nation’s Elijah Blake, with whom she collaborated with on her latest LP ‘Woman To Woman’ and has enlisted to produce its hotly anticipated follow up.
Now peep what the ‘I Changed My Mind’ singer had to say on Blake’s skill as a live act below…

It’s Ciara’s birthday weekend! In honor of one of our favorites, this week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is Ashleigh Paylor singing ‘Sorry’ from Ci’s latest critically acclaimed self-titled set. Watch below:
As ‘Sorry’ continues to ring as one of our favorite numbers from Cici, we always love to hear a cover that does the tune justice. And, Paylor did just that and then some!
Uncannily sounding just like the ‘Promise’ singer in parts, Paylor was able to capture the emotion and sincerity of the lyrics without drowning them out or attempting to overcompensate with with dramatics and theatrics (see: excessive melisma, volume, etc).
To that, we say bravo!

For an artist as vocal as Keyshia Cole, much of 2013 has been uncharacteristically quiet – if discounting “that” Twitter duel with Destiny’s Child diva Michelle Williams at the top of the year.
