Alicia Keys has finally unwrapped her seventh studio album ‘ALICIA.’
Originally due in March, the LP was one of many that saw its release marred by the global health crisis.
Still, Keys kept fans fed by way of a steady stream of singles – such as Gold-certified jams ‘Show Me Love (ft. Miguel)’ and ‘Underdog.’ She also poured out cuts such as ‘Time Machine’ and the Khalid assisted ‘So Done.’
With the project now in the marketplace, how is set to perform first week? The forecast is here…
Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ segments, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s retrospective segment – a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.
Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of Pop and Urban Pop music hits.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Queen of Pop Madonna‘s first album of the millennium, this week we’ll replay her eighth studio effort, ‘Music.’
Join us inside:
Alicia Keys is a bonafide music powerhouse, but one of the songs that helped establish that status almost went to another artist.
The ‘Show Me Love’ singer recently revealed to Stereogum that ‘If I Ain’t Got You’ almost went to Christina Aguilera.
Her words below:
Kanye West appears to be putting his long-standing feud with Taylor Swift behind him.
The rapper has expressed that he wants to help the ‘Cardigan’ singer get her masters back from her former record label, Big Machine Records, which was acquired by Scooter Braun‘s Ithaca Holdings in 2019.
His words below:
K. Michelle is playing no games as she embarks on a Country music adventure.
Most know the songbird for her R&B numbers, but she’s been adamant in recent years about re-exploring the genre.
To assist her cause, ‘The Rain’ singer has teamed up with one of Country’s most notable names – Billy Ray Cyrus.
Full story below…
‘Good vibes only’ – a message Big Sean touts earnestly in the music video for his new song, ‘ZTFO.’
The tune, found aboard his latest chart-topping effort ‘Detroit 2,’ follows a string of visuals lifted to support cuts from the album including ‘Harder Than My Demons,’ ‘Deep Reverence,’ ‘Lithuania,’ and more (click here to watch).
In a promotional bid to ensure the LP enjoys a second week atop the Billboard 200, look inside to get acquainted with ‘ZTFO.’
In celebration of its September 4 release, Christina Aguilera has been hot on the promo trail for Disney’s live action remake of ‘Mulan’ for which she serves as the voice behind two of its soundtrack’s most important numbers: ‘Loyal Brave True’ and the 2020 remake of her classic, ‘Reflection.’
Taking to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe Thursday (September 17). the GRAMMY winner not only reflected on the impact of the film’s original animated adaptation but also discussed its impact on her career specifically as it helped launch her as one of the most celebrated voices in Pop music history.
While strolling down memory lane, Aguilera dished on that infamous 2003 MTV VMA lip-lock with Britney Spears and Madonna (whom she referred to as ‘the Queen of reinventing herself), her longtime love of Beyonce, and so much more.

The week August Alsina released his third studio album, ‘The Product III: stateofEMERGEncy,’ the R&B heartthrob revealed he’d had a romantic affair with Jada Pinkett-Smith (with the blessing of her Academy Award-nominated husband Will Smith).
Once the power couple took to Jada’s Facebook Watch platform, ‘Red Table Talk,‘ to address and confirm the rumor head-on, she popularized the term ‘entanglement’ as her description of the extent of the relationship with the singer-songwriter.
While the momentum around the controversy did little to commercially support his ill-fated LP (as we reported here), he was able to capitalize off the hoopla by releasing the Rick Ross-assisted song, ‘Entanglements’ in July.
And, though the song may not feature on ‘The Product,’ Alsina’s still pushing forward in its promotion by unveiling its official music video.
Watch it below:
It’s pretty safe to say many thought Odell Beckham Jr. was having a pretty sh*tty week thanks to trending on Twitter after a groupie reported he enjoyed sexual play with feces, but he’s laughing off the criticism.
The woman – an adult actress named “Slim Danger” – took to the ‘No Jumper’ podcast recently to tell friends Celina Powell and Aliza the football star requested she defecate on him during one of their alleged sexual encounters. Elsewhere during their many sexual escapades (according to Danger), OBJ even called for the poopy performer to not wear underwear or “shower for 24 hours” – another reported fetish of his.
For most of the week Beckham’s been mum about the hoopla that ensued after her confession. That changed Thursday (September 17) when he took to the ‘Uninterrupted’ podcast to tackle the topic head-on.
See what he said inside:
‘After Hours,’ the blockbuster fourth studio album from The Weeknd, may easily be one of the year’s best-selling efforts but the Canadian hitmaker (born Abel Tesfaye) is not resting on his laurels.
Redirecting energy once aimed at prepping for the project’s accompanying (but now delayed) world tour (click here to read), the GRAMMY winner is instead cooking up the set’s follow-up as indicated by his recent chat with ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine.
Acting as the mag’s latest cover star, Tesfaye dished on a number of topics including a confession he’s amassed enough material during quarantine to release an entire new LP – one that just may see the light of day before 2021.
Elsewhere in the conversation, he praised ‘Hours’ for being his ‘most perfect album,’ discussed his interest in cinema, and so much more.
