Just hours after sending her faithful fans, affectionately called #KatyCats, into a frenzy over reports she was expecting her first child (click here to read), Pop star Katy Perry has unleashed the music video for her new single, ‘Never Worn White,’ to confirm the murmurs.

A gorgeous new ballad, the piano-driven tune comes as a sonic departure from the mid- to up-tempo offerings that acted as standalone singles following her commercially panned 2017 ‘Witness’ album (‘Small Talk,’ ‘Never Really Over,’ ‘Harleys in Hawaii’).

Putting the diva’s voice center stage, the wedding-inspired lyrics will undoubtedly only help to build excitement for the singer’s forthcoming nuptials to actor Orlando Bloom in Japan.

Until then, see the mom-to-be in action inside:

This evening brings with it the hotly anticipated debut of ‘Nought’s + Crosses’ on BBC1.

The six-part series is a TV adaptation of Malorie Blackman‘s like-titled book series, which has won numerous awards – including the Fantastic Fiction honor.

While staying true to the heart and body of the original story, the visual incarnation adds a contemporary kick.

The narrative tells the tale of an alternate world where a flipped form of racism divides society.

Anchored by Masali Baduza and Jack Rowan, the narrative centers on the love story between Sephy and Callum.

Sephy is a ‘Cross,’ a member of the Black ruling class and daughter of a prominent politician. While Callum is a ‘Nought,’ a white member of the underclass.

Much as we were during an early viewing, the masses will no doubt be glued to screens as the pair navigate complicated layers of power, family, and prejudice in a narrative that very much speaks to the divided socio-political climate of today.

Ahead of its premiere That Grape Juice caught up with the executive producer of ‘Noughts + Crosses,’ Kibwe Tavares.

Not even two years after thrilling U.S. fans with the ’50 Intimate Nights’ tour to drum up buzz for ‘NIGHT’ – the serially delayed concluding chapter of his musical ‘blacksummers’night’ trilogy – Maxwell is looking to revisit some of the jaunt’s stops on the newly announced ‘A Night at the Symphony’ tour.

Kicking off in Baltimore on April 3, the limited engagement will see the 46-year-old crooner cross over to Detroit, Los Angeles, and more before concluding in Mexico on October 27.

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think that what started when I was 16 years old would take me to such a prestigious experience,” Maxwell said in a statement. “It’s my greatest joy to announce that I will be playing songs from my catalog which I’m re-arranging for your symphonic pleasure.”
