Sam Smith is pouring out more from their forthcoming studio album ‘Gloria’ ahead of its release on January 27.

Mobilized by the momentum established by chart-topper ‘Unholy’ and taster cut ‘Gimme,’ the British performer has unlocked the title track for the LP.

Written during lockdown, Smith completed the cut with Folk/Blues performer Foy Vance.

Produced alongside collaborators Jimmy Napes and David Odlum, Smith’s latest offering was recorded at the church they attended as a child and sees them joined by the London Voices choir.

Readers of That Grape Juice know how passionate we are about music – whether that be past or present.

However, unlike our other segments – Retro Rewind, TGJ Replay, and From The Vault – The Pop Stop is the most in-depth look at Pop songs that may have flown under the radar over the last week that you should know, rather they be from music’s biggest stars or those on the rise.

This week, we want to highlight cuts from Kim Petras, Joel Corry, GOT the beat, and boygenius.

Cardi B has been keeping a low profile of late as she continues to cook up her long-awaited sophomore album.

However, the chart-topping femcee made an exception with an appearance on the launch episode of The Jason Lee Show on REVOLT TV.

Indeed, she waxed honest about her cosmetic surgery procedures, legal dramas, overcoming self-doubt, online hate, and what she’ll be including and omitting from her incoming LP.

SZA season remains in full effect!

As if watching her album, ‘SOS,’ earn a historic fifth run atop the Billboard 200 this week isn’t enough to celebrate (as we reported here), the top-selling set sees its standout cut, ‘Kill Bill,’ carve yet another week in the Hot 100’s top 5.

Originally predicted to secure the tally’s top spot, the Carter Lang-produced smash was outpaced by Taylor Swift‘s ongoing ‘Midnights‘ hit, ‘Anti-Hero,’ for the win.  And while ‘Bill’ managed to land at #2 on the updated edition of the Hot 100, the placement still comes as a relative victory for SZA as it marks the highest rung she’s reached on the hitlist by her lonesome to date.

Prior to the top 5 entry of ‘Kill,’ she enjoyed a #3 peak as assistant on Doja Cat‘s 2021’s ‘Planet HER.’

A$AP Rocky may be loading his new LP, ‘Don’t Be Dumb,‘ for release later this year, but anxious fans – who haven’t gotten a new studio effort from the rapper since 2018’s ‘Testing‘ – have been spinning the hell out of his former hits to tide them over until the forthcoming set’s release.

Evidence of this came recently when the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced a slew of the GRAMMY nominee’s singles had received certification upgrades.
