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 Justin Bieber, ROSÉ, Mat Kearney, and Griff.
Join us inside…
Lil Nas X marked the release of his controversial new single ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ by penning an open letter to his younger self.
The 21-year-old came out as a member of the LGBTQ community at the height of the popularity of breakout smash ‘Old Town Road’ in 2019 and has increasingly used his platform to express himself as authentically as he can.
Case in point his provocative latest release.
In the candid letter about the track’s arrival, Nas addresses his reasonings for ‘Montero’ and his “agenda.”

Philip Lawrence possesses a pen game like no other. And now he’s leaving his mark on new terrain.
Over the course of his incredible career, the hitmaker has shaped smashes for the likes of Adele and Bruno Mars.

With the film up for multiple honors at the 2021 NAACP Image Awards, That Grape Juice caught up with Lawrence to discuss the festive flick and its nominations.
The songwriter also opened up about his new music and media enterprise – CMNTY Culture – which is dedicated to advocating for and empowering artists via multiple mediums.

At just 16 years old, Marsai Martin continues to marvel.

That Grape Juice‘s Shar Jossell caught up with the multi-hyphenate star, who spoke on her win, shared advice for young talent, and dished on her new deal with Disney – the latter of which will see her produce comedy ‘Saturdays.’

Sharon Osbourne‘s 11-year stint on ‘The Talk’ has come to an end.

Osbourne fell foul of favor after a shocking eruption during a race debate with Sheryl Underwood after her support of Piers Morgan‘s widely-condemned comments about Meghan Markle.
All, it seems, has led to her exit from the show.
