Las Vegas’ Orleans Arena was the place to be last night as the 2018 Soul Train Awards rolled all up and through!
Hosted by ‘Martin’ stars Tichina Arnold and Tisha Campbell, the show sought to tribute the best and brightest of R&B and Hip-Hop.
BET are set to air the ceremony on November 25th at 8pm. But, before you get to see what all the performers served up, checked out what the likes of Normani, SZA, Faith Evans, Kali Uchis, and more donned on the show’s red carpet.
SZA made headlines last month when she was pulled from TDE’s Championship Tour due to illness and declared that “my voice is injured permanently.”
Concerned fans of the soulful songbird clamoured for updates and grew more worried as the silence intensified.
However, a positive development seems to have manifested.

Rihanna has made it trademark to show up and show out and this evening’s MET Gala saw her live up to said billing.
The 30 year old, who shared co-chair honors this year with Amal Clooney and Donatella Versace, turned heads in a magnetic silver ensemble – embracing the ceremony’s theme of ‘ Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination.’
Other notable names in attendance included Katy Perry, Solange, SZA Childish Gambino, Migos, and more.

It’s that time of the week again!
The latest Billboard Hot 100 has been revealed and it brings with it good news for Bruno Mars and Cardi B, as well as encouraging signs for Justin Timberlake.
Head below for details…
For many, SZA‘s ‘The Weekend’ sits nicely amongst the likes of Usher‘s ‘Burn‘ and Ciara‘s ‘Promise’ as one of the strongest R&B gems to drop within the last two decades.
Unfortunately, this week has seen the song’s epic critical run hit a snag.

On the receiving end of unfair criticism? The visual’s director Solange.
Saying SZA is on a roll is a gross understatement.
The singer/songwriter – who is currently enjoying her first Hot 100 top 10 ever courtesy of the Maroon 5-led ‘What Lovers Do’ – is doing it big by her lonesome thanks to hits ‘The Weekend’ and ‘Love Galore.’
After thrilling NBC viewers with performances of each tune on ‘SNL’ this past weekend (click here if you missed that), the Grammy nominee returned to the network yesterday (December 12) to bless ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ viewers with a taste of what attendees of her critically acclaimed ‘CTRL’ tour have been treated to.
Did you miss any of the action? Look inside to see SZA sizzle with a showing of ‘Supermodel’:
SZA and Maroon 5 may have scored a hit with their duet ‘What Lovers Do,’ but they’re not resting on their laurels.
Having peaked at an impressive #12 on the Hot 100, the track is still being promoted in earnest – with the latest stop being ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.’
Together, the collective delivered a rousing rendition of the track.

It’s Grammy voting season and SZA, Khalid, and Julia Michaels are hotly tipped to be named in the Best New Artist category when nominations are announced in December.
Fittingly then, the trio joined forces for a special feature in Billboard‘s new Grammy 2018 preview issue.
Beyond posing it up for a striking shoot (lensed by Eric Ray Davidson), the group also say down for an interview.
During the insightful chat, they shared their views on racial and gender diversity and representation in the music industry.
Their words and more await below…
Maroon 5 and SZA take being “on the run” to cinematic proportions in the action-packed video for new single ‘What Lovers Do.’
Directed by Joseph Kahn, the visual is the third release from M5’s upcoming sixth album.
It also serves as a bridge to a broader audience for TDE’s soulful songbird following the breakout success of debut LP ‘CTRL.’

Readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.
So, just as our retrospective features ‘From the Vault’ and ‘TGJ Replay’ allow us the chance to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday of one artist, our newest feature Chart Rewind – a variation of our current Retro Rewind assay – accedes salutes to an entire era of music history.
This week we wanna go back to ‘I Don’t Wanna Fight’ – Tina Turner’s last top 10 hit on the Hot 100. Originally penned for Brit Soul singer Sade, the tune was eventually recorded by the Queen of Rock for inclusion on the official soundtrack of her autobiographical film, ‘What’s Love Got the Do With It?’ And, like the film, ‘Don’t Wanna Fight’ turned out to be quite the hit.
Hitting #9 on the Hot 100 (where it peaked this week 24 years ago), ‘Fight’ would go on to fight for the honor of ‘Best Female Pop Vocal Performance’ at the 1994 Grammy Awards (but lost out to Whitney Houston‘s ‘I Will Always Love You’). Despite the loss, the song continues to be a favorite among Turner’s legendary catalog of hits.
As we press play on the heart-tugging number, tuck in to see who joined the Rock royal in the top 25 this week 24 years ago:
Much to the horror of many, the number of African-American women and girls who have gone missing in America continues to rise.
This week, the performer SZA has joined efforts to rescue one of these girls from the danger she may be in.
