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 Alessia Cara, Conan Gray, LANY, and Nina Nesbitt.

Tori Kelly is back with new music.

After releasing her ‘Solitude’ EP last year and collaborating with JoJo for ‘You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman,’ she has now joined forces with producer Illenium for a new tune called ‘Blame Myself.’

The Pop-meets-EDM tune focuses on the end of a relationship and the heartbreak that comes with it.

Across the track, Kelly sings:

“Lie to me / It would help / Just lie to me, say you found someone else / So I don’t blame myself.“

The song appears on Illenium’s new album ‘Fallen Embers.’

Tinashe continues to feed fans with new music.

This time around, she has joined forces with producer BAYNK for their song ‘Esther.’

The bouncy tune expertly mixes electronic music with R&B sounds and features brilliant synths. The song’s lyrics focus on a fantasy lover with plenty of flirty, almost explicit lyrics.

Across the track, Tinashe sings:

“Oh, I can see it now, picture it, playing out in slow-mo (Yeah, yeah) / Got my body, sweating, glistening, lights so low / Feeling your hands on my waist, we’re face to face, don’t let go / Don’t let go.“

‘Esther’ serves as Tinashe’s first single since ‘Bouncin.”
