That Grape Juice sat down with R&B star Trey Songz earlier this week at the Atlantic Records HQ here in London.

A somewhat restrained (and at times irritable) Songz, appeared reluctant to answer questions about his much-publicised feud with R. Kelly, as well as questions about his gay fanbase. Still, the Grammy nominee spoke more freely about his forthcoming album, his response to claims that his success is due to solely to his ‘sex appeal’, kissing Keri Hilson and Toni Braxton, and much more. An ‘interesting’ watch to say the least.

As ever, we ask the questions you really want answers to. How Trey takes to this, you’ll have to hit ‘play’ to find out!

The legendary Mariah Carey performed at this morning’s Walmart Shareholders’ Meeting. The songbird gave the excited audience of Walmart employees solid renditions of two f her classic hits – ‘We Belong Together’ and ‘Hero’. Check out fan footage of Carey’s ‘Hero’ performance below:

A new Ciara cut in the form of ‘Get It Girl’ surfaced a few moments ago. Said to be the follow-up to Urban hit ‘Ride’, the pulsating up-tempo looks destined for clubs – a domain many have been keen to see the 24 year old return to musically for sometime now.

Top notch production and swagger-heavy flow, the track is a no doubt a winner . Take a listen below…

In somewhat of an unlikely collaboration, rapper Eminem has teamed up with Pink for ‘Won’t Back Down’, a track lifted from his forthcoming LP ‘Recovery’. Check out the Hip-Hop meets Rock cut after the jump…

Shooting has commenced for Tyler Perry’s hotly anticipated new movie, ‘For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf’ (a mouthful, huh?).

That Grape Juice is pleased to announce that we will be interviewing Ciara next week. Originally set to be conducted today (I know, last minute!), our time has been re-scheduled to next week.

Have any questions for the ‘Ride’ singer? As usual, drop them in the ‘comments’ section. Please note, only legitimate questions will be considered!

Thanks!

Dance diva Kelly Rowland features on the cover of the June issue of Musicology magazine. Though a shot from the album / ‘Commander’ single packaging, there’s no doubt Ms. Kelly looks stunning!

Speaking of ‘Commander’, the ‘official’ video for the song has been confirmed to premiere on (Wednesday) June 9th. Indeed both Rowland and her camp have stated that the current video floating around is an early edit (which was illegally leaked).  As many know, music videos are subject to a number of edits / revamps – with essential input from the director, artist, and label. In any case, roll on next Wednesday.

UPDATE: More ‘Musicology’ pics after the jump…

What do you think of the cover?

Peep the official single cover for Kanye West‘s comeback single ‘Power’. The song serves as the first release from West’s brand new LP, tentatively titled ‘Good Ass Job’.

A new Fantasia cut has surfaced in the form of ‘The Worst Part Is Over’. Set to feature on the American Idol alum’s forthcoming third album, the inspirational song was produced by Oak Fielder and penned by hitmaker Claude Kelly.

Interestingly enough I have had this song on replay for a while now after it landed anonymously in my mailbox a few months back. However, it’s not Fantasia’s version, it is another R&B diva who is a regular fixture on the site (won’t say no names). You see, there is a little  drama surrounding the song, and who it was supposed to be meant for. Scratch that….A LOT of drama. (Remember where you read this should the other version ever surface)

In any case, it appears as though Fantasia has it in the bag,which is a great look for the 25 year old, as the soaring ballad is a winner. Take a listen below…
