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 Rag’n’Bone Man, Bebe Rexha, Conan Gray, and Slayyyter.

Cynthia Bailey has long brought the balance to the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ which is increasingly impressive given her many concurrent hustles.

Indeed, the multi-hyphenate star is a bonafide entrepreneur – juggling fashion, her wine cellar, and an ongoing collaboration with Seagram’s Escapes.

To commemorate Mother’s Day, she’s pouring out a specialty drink, The Momosa, made with her signature flavor – the Seagram’s Escapes Peach Bellini.

That Grape Juice caught up with Bailey, who dished on the venture as well as all things Housewives.

Speaking with TGJ’s Patrick Buchanan, she spilled on the new Housewives all-star season, the possible return of Phaedra Parks, her wedding to Mike Hill, and her future in reality TV.
