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 Shania Twain, Dolly Parton, NewJeans, and Moonbin and Sanha.

Popcaan and Drake are renowned for their flavorsome collaborations. As such, the pair have aptly kicked off 2023 with a brand new team-up in the form of ‘We Caa Done.’

Released via OVO Sound, the hynotic track arrives ahead of the Dancehall force’s album ‘Great Is He’ – which lands on Janaury 27.

Produced by RESOR and Batundi, ‘Done’ sees the dynamic duo trade verses about reaffirming their potency.

Speaking on the song, Popcaan said:

“We Caa Done” is all about persevering. We don’t think about limits. We’re living the life we’ve dreamed of, and despite what the haters and naysayers have to say, we will only be greater.”

The release was unwrapped alongside its accompanying video, which was filmed in Turks and Caicos and was directed by Theo Skudra.

Stormzy has teamed with rising girl group FLO for a stirring remix of his hit single ‘Hide & Seek.’

The melodic number is lifted from the British Rap royal’s third studio LP ‘This Is What I Mean,’ which launched at #1 on the Official UK Album Chart last month.

A top 10 in its own right, the exciting collaborative take on the track comes during a window of seismic success for both acts.

Indeed, as well as Stormzy’s wins, the ladies have been scoring a number of major touchdowns – including becoming the first ever girl group to win the BBC Sound of 2023 poll and nabbing 2023 BRITs Awards Rising Star honor.

The Supremes, Slick Rick, and Nile Rodgers may all be hailed as pioneers for the grounds they’ve broken in music genres of R&B/Pop, Hip-Hop/Rap, and Funk/Disco respectively, but despite that reverence none of them were ever recognized for their own albums or singles by the Recording Academy.

That is set to change February 5 as all three legendary acts will join the hallowed halls of the GRAMMYs’ Lifetime Achievement recipients.

Just two weeks after dropping his new song ‘Lied To You’ (as we reported here), August Alsina is back to bring the Romano-produced song to life with its official music video.

The performance clip, directed by MarkMark, sees the R&B heartthrob flex his modeling skills while crooning the catchy cut’s lyrics.

“If they tell you I stay with the bang gang, then they tellin’ the truth / If they tellin’ you some of the fame changed me, they tellin’ the truth / If they tell you that I ain’t a hunnid n***a then they lied to you,” Alsina relays on the chorus.

Coming as the latest taste of what’s believed to be August’s last project, look inside to watch the glossy visual in full.

With the shock of Takeoff‘s death still reverberating, the late rapper’s Migos bandmate Quavo has released a new song in tribute.

Christened ‘Without You,’ the emotional track arrived alongside a studio-based video in which the MC reflects on the bond they shared – not just as members of the group, but as family too.

Quavo raps:

“Tears rolling down my eyes, can’t tell you how many times I cried.
Days ain’t the same without you
Ion know if I’m the same without you.”
