Dressed in a shimmering Gold blazer, the soprano that is Celine Dion took to her ‘Celine… une seule fois’ show in Quebec City on July 27, debuting a brand new song live to an audience of 42,000 fans.

Penned by ‘A Situation’ maestra Sia, ‘Loved Me Back To Life’ was delivered via a moving performance put on by the ‘A New Day Has Come‘ icon, months after Sia penned Rihanna‘s #1 single ‘Diamonds’ and as she continues work on Beyonce‘s fifth studio album, due out in months to follow.

Now, in an interview with Billboard Magazine, the Grammy winning chart topper has revealed that Beyonce is still in the developmental stages of the album…and is yet to decide in which direction she hopes to take it.

In epic credit to her handlers, Jennifer Hudson‘s star has shone brighter with each year since her Oscar winning turn in ‘Dreamgirls’ seven years ago.

Ironically, though, this has been in parallel to the unremarkable performance of not one, but two studio albums on the charts. The singer’s 2008’s self-titled managed to go Gold, yet it’s follow-up, 2011’s ‘I Remember Me’, failed to connect with listeners and to-date has only sold 370,000 in the US.  Hoping to right those wrongs, the great Clive Davis has taken the helm of Hudson’s third project.

Having orchestrated much of the late Whitney Houston‘s success, can the industry icon have a similar effect on a career in much need of it? Flip the hood to read his plans for Hudson’s new album in an exclusive interview with Billboard….

With January gone and the world of Pop well into February, music lovers can expect to be introduced to a number of newbies- all vying to win their hearts…and wallets.

However, with the backing of Motown, the blessing of Ne-Yo and the charisma of a young Bobby Brown, it’s safe to say B Smyth stands head and shoulders above the rest of his pack, bursting onto the scene with the budding hit, ‘Leggo‘.

So, as to truly understand what makes the 19 year old entertainer tick, That Grape Juice caught up with him last week as he prepares cuts for his debut album.

Get into it below…

‘Should Be You’.

‘Cracks In Mr. Perfect’

‘Let Me Love You’.

For fans of R&B royal Ne-Yo, the above stand as just three of the strongest songs pulled from his new album, ‘R.E.D’.

However, despite heralded as one of 2012’s strongest releases critically, its slow burning sales have seen mark one of his lowest selling projects to date, following the success of 2008’s ‘Year Of The Gentlemen‘, which was certified Platinum in the US and 2x Platinum in the UK.

Now, in an exclusive interview with That Grape Juice.Net, the Compound mogul has opened up on the LP, before he embarks on his sold out UK arena tour this March.
