Tinashe took center-stage on Good Morning America today in support of her freshly unwrapped album ‘333.’
As reported, the singer confirmed‘Undo’ as the project’s latest single, so it was fitting that she performed the track during her appearance on the platform.
The record follows previous singles ‘Pasadena’ and ‘Bouncin” – the latter of which we’ve had on replay here at That Grape Juice.
Tyler, The Creator may be working his latest charting-topping album ‘Call Me If You Get Lost,’ but it was talk about the project’s predecessor ‘IGOR’ that sent tongues wagging following a new interview with Hot 97.
The 2019 set notably launched at #1 upon its arrival and in doing so eclipsed the sales of DJ Khaled’s then-new album ‘Father of Asahd.’
At the time, Khaled responded to the position, saying:
“I make albums so people can play it and you actually hear it. You know, driving your car, you hear another car playing it. You know, go to the barbershop, you hear them playing it. You know, turn the radio on, and you hear them playing it. It’s called great music. It’s called albums that you actually hear the songs. Not no mysterious shit that you never hear it.”
In the frame since, Tyler has touched on the topic at a surface level. However, he clearly had no issue making his feelings known in a detailed manner during his sit-down interview.
Join us as we celebrate a major musical anniversary. Today’s From The Vault pick is the first single from an album that turned 20 years old this weekend.
It’s Usher‘s ‘U Remind Me’ from the iconic ’8701.’
Issued as the lead offering from the entertainer’s third studio effort, ‘Remind Me’ finds Ush unable to shake off how much a new girl is reminiscent of an ex-girlfriend, hence his inability to date her.
The track was penned by Anita McCloud and Edmund Clement; it was produced by the latter alongside Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.
A US smash, the song hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also fared well worldwide, reaching the Top 5 in the UK, France, Australia, and Canada. Furthermore, it earned Usher his very first GRAMMY in 2002.
The ever-enduring force that is Dave Meyers directed the song’s visual which presented Usher serenading several girls around before ending up at a club with his girlfriend-at-the-time, Chilli from TLC.
Who could forget that iconic solo dance sequence that proved once and for all that Mr. Raymond doesn’t need to rely on a troop of dancers to bring the house down.
20 years on, this single (and its parent album) still bang and remain radio, club, and bedroom fixtures.
Speaking on ‘8701’ just this week, ‘Usher said: “this album defined me.” And we agree in earnest.
Truly, the era at large set him apart from the other male R&B artists thanks to its powerful storytelling, memorable melodies, slick production, exciting music videos, and a killer accompanying tour.
Two decades later, it’s fantastic seeing him perform these very songs with the same gusto and precision as when he presented them to the world for the first time.
Salute to Usher for 20+ years of embodying excellence.
Khalid is wasting no time igniting his new single ‘New Normal.’
Issued as the inaugural offering from the star’s forthcoming album ‘Everything Is Changing,’ the emotional number has been greeted with applause from fans and critics alike following its release late last month.
Now, as he looks to amplify the song’s reach the more, the 23-year-old has unwrapped an acoustic performance video.
Armed with a guitarist and a mic, watch Khalid take vocal flight after the jump…
