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 Taylor Swift, The Veronicas, John Splithoff, and Malia Civetz.

Join us inside…

Diversification is the name of Tank‘s game.

Renown for his butter-smooth baritone, the singer is proving his talent to be multi-dimensional as he makes a splash in the acting sphere.

The star flexes his acting chops in Lifetime‘s ‘Lust’ – which is part of Lifetime‘s ‘Seven Deadly Sins Story’ franchise.

Appearing opposite Keri Hilson (Tiffanie), Tank plays tempter Trey – whose luring ways run the risk of derailing a marriage.

Ahead of the film’s airing tonight, That Grape Juice‘s Chet Kincaid caught up with the R&B belter who spoke about the film, his foray into acting, a possible TGT reunion, being a sex symbol, new music, and more. Watch above.

‘Lust’ premieres – which also stars ‘Little Women’ star Ms. Juicy, GRAMMY-winning singer-actress LeToya Luckett, Perri’ Camper, and veteran actor Clifton Powell – airs tonight (April 10) at 8/7c only on Lifetime.
