Ever keen to broaden our musical scope, recent months have seen That Grape Juice venture into a number of new musical landscapes including, most recently, gospel.
Spearheaded by well-received interviews with gospel singers Joshua Rogers, Dorinda Clark Cole, Israel Houghton, and more, TGJ is now offering readers ‘The Overflow’ – a collection of the top gospel-themed news stories from the week.
Tuck in below for the latest news on Juanita Bynum, Donald Lawrence, Earnest Pugh, and so much more…
Before the albums drops tomorrow, ‘Without Me‘ stunner Fantasia invited some of her closest friends and select members of the press to a listening session, for her new album ‘Side Effects Of You’.
Thrown by hit making producer Harmony and welcoming the likes of Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Amber Riley and That Grape Juice, the event was also streamed live for fans to enjoy as it went on.
Now, thanks the geniuses over at Google +, fans who weren’t there on the night can join the party below!
The second search for ‘The Voice UK’ is underway!
Already a smash in the US (and its original home of Holland), the show has arrived on British shores by way of the BBC last year and takes its place prime-time for another year running. Coaches this side of the pond are Jessie J, will.i.am, Danny O’ Donoghue, and the legendary Tom Jones.
Billed as the definitive talent-search, many are predicting it to serve as a true contender to The X Factor‘s strong hold.
Judge for yourself below with highlights from episode 4 / series 2 below…
Cop a gander of Michelle Williams!
The ‘Do You Know’ singer was snapped rocking the red carpet at the premiere of Lifetime movie ‘Call Me Crazy’ in Los Angeles last night. Set to air this evening, the film stars Oscar and Grammy winner Jennifer Hudson.
Busy in her own right, Williams is hard at work on her new Gospel CD (due this Summer) and is presently touring with musical FELA – which we’re giving two lucky fans the chance to see. Click here to enter our ticket give-away contest.

‘I Changed My Mind’ maestra Keyshia Cole changed it up for fans at Club Nokia in Los Angeles last night when she invited a fan on stage to fill in for Ashanti‘s verse on their praised duet ‘Woman To Woman’.
Indeed, the ‘Bow Down’ detractor – who has listed a number of female collaborators to her resume (Missy Elliott, Monica, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj, Keri Hilson, and more) gave one lucky fan the chance to add her name to that growing list.
How did the two fare? You tell us below:
Fantasia“s showing on American Idol this week saw many catch the Holy Ghost. However, the ever-humble singer was full of praise for one of her own heroes – judge Mariah Carey.
Fresh from rocking the house with “Lose To Win”, the 2004 Idol champ chatted it up backstage about her performance, new album “Side Effects Of You”, and what Mimi means to music.

Fiery femcee Eve is set to ‘Lip Lock’ next month when her first album in ten years hits stores.
Preceding singles ‘She Bad Bad’ and ‘Make It Out This Town’ are hot, but the self-professed Pitbull In A Skirt is packing an LP full of heat. How do we know? We were privy to hear the album earlier this week!
Fans eager for an early listen can do so below, where snippets awaits…
With 5 million albums sold worldwide and a ‘fifteen minutes of fame’ that now spans eight years, it’d take a liar to downplay the strength of Brand Nicki Minaj.
Now, one year after becoming the 8th female artist of color to nab two or more US #1 albums, the ‘Bought The Bar‘ Rapper has confirmed reports that she has signed onto star in her first feature film this year, billing the experience an honour during an interview with Z1079 last night.
Watch her share details on the movie, writing her third studio album and the dangers of social media after the jump!
Icon.
Though US audiences may have overlooked this, Kylie Minogue is nothing short of a Pop icon. Now, in honouring the role she played in bringing awareness to breast cancer when she battled (and beat) the disease in 2005, she is to be awarded by The Entertainment Industry Foundation’s (EIF) Women’s Cancer Research Fund.
All the details below…
Do you fancy yourself a fan of Rihanna‘s 2011 hit ‘Cheers (I’ll Drink To That)’? What about Britney Spears’ ‘Blur’ or Brandy‘s ‘I Don’t Care’? Well, thank New York songbird Stacy Barthe for that.
Indeed, the Brooklyn beauty has seen her name listed aboard credits for a number of top artist hits including Spears, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and so many more. Now looking to take flight with her first LP (due via Motown Records this fall), Miss Barthe chats exclusively to That Grape Juice about her latest ventures, eyeing a Beyonce collaboration, and so much more.
As always, we ask the questions you want the answers to. Get into it all below:
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 crooners Avant, Kevin McCall & Tank, PJ Morton, and Raheem Devaughn below…
It’s hard to believe three years have passed since Willow Smith released the smash hit single ‘Whip My Hair‘.
Indeed, while some fans were disappointed its release wasn’t followed by the LP promised to them, the singer continued to keep her buzz alive this week when she unveiled a brand new hairstyle on Twitter, as seen above.
Snapped in the company of friends, the ROC star’s snaps saw her sport the purple look one year after she was reported to have signed onto star in a remake of Gray’s Annie but pulled out some time later, forfeiting the role to Quvenzhané Wallis.
