Emeli Sande is digging deep and sharing some of her most personal layers yet on forthcoming album ‘Real Life.’

Due September 13th, the set is the songbird’s first studio album in three years and embeds within some of the BRIT Award winner’s most resonating lyrics to date.

That Grape Juice caught up with the star, whose new single ‘Shine’ is out today, to discuss the journey of producing the project; one she says began with a trip to her father’s homeland of Zambia. 

The candid chat with TGJ’s Jacqueline Shepherd also saw Sande wax honest about overcoming a “poverty of confidence,” wanting to work with Afrobeats titan Burna Boy, and her upcoming ‘Real Life Tour.’

Ed Sheeran‘s latest effort, ‘No. 6 Collaborations Project,’ is a star studded affair if ever there was one.

An assembly of 15 tracks chock full of appearances from A-list acts including the likes of Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper, Cardi B, Bruno Mars, Travis Scott, Camila Cabello, and more, conceptually the opus is a follow-up to Sheeran’s 2011 ‘No. 5 Collaborations Project.’

Literally, it follows the superstar’s mega-selling 2017 album, ‘Divide,’ which – at present – is boasting over 4 million in sales equivalence in the United States.  Does ‘No. 6’ have what it takes to boast the same?  Listen inside and tell us:

From Nicki Minaj and Cardi B to Megan Thee Stallion, City Girls, Stefflon Don, Lizzo, Iggy Azalea, and more, 2019 has seen no shortage of appearances from femcees on the Billboard Hot 100.  Easily boasting the most simultaneous placements among rapstresses in its history, the year’s carving out proof that the girls are able to not only sell records, but also share space on the chart.

When quizzed on his thoughts on the rise of females in the Rap game, super producer/hitmaker Jermaine Dupri credited a great deal of that progress to his protege Da Brat.  Claiming she ‘broke the mold’ with her Platinum-selling debut album, 1994’s ‘Funkdafied,’ J.D. went on to compare today’s female Hip Hop stars with Brat and – in so many words – said they come up short.

Likening them to ‘strippers rapping,’ Dupri was unable to choose which of today’s femcees was his favorite of the lot making moves on charts.  His quote landed on the desk of Cardi B and – in typical fashion – she had a jaw-dropping response. See it all inside:
