Fleur East is back and her fierce new single ‘Favourite Thing’ is already living up to its billing.

The London bred talent first found fame on The X Factor and quickly followed with mega-watt offering ‘Sax’ – which became a worldwide smash and amassed over 100 million streams. Its housing album ‘Love, Sax, & Flashbacks’ earned critical acclaim too.

All of which set the scene for a seismic takeover. Yet what came next was…silence, with the next the masses heard from the stage blazer being confirmation of a split from Simon Cowell’s Syco record label.

Now, after recalibrating on ITV hit ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here,’ East has returned more energised than ever with a whole new sound to match.

In an exclusive interview with That Grape Juice, the potent performer opens up about her rollercoaster journey and its next chapter.

Readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.

So, as our retrospective features ‘From the Vault’ and ‘TGJ Replay’  allow us the chance to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday of one artist, our newest feature Chart Rewind – a variation of our current Retro Rewind assay – accedes salutes to an entire era of music history.

This week we’ll turn our attention to ‘Soon As I Get Home’ – the second single from Faith Evans‘ 1995 eponymous debut album.  Written by Evans and produced by Sean “Puffy” Combs, the tune came as a worthy follow-up to the singer’s debut single, ‘You Used To Love Me’ (which peaked at #24 on the Hot 100).  ‘Home’ would not only best its predecessor’s chart success, but this week in 1996 became the highest charting release from her debut project when it peaked at #21.

Eventually securing a Gold certification from the RIAA, ‘Home’ – a precursor of her chart success to come – has secured a spot as fan favorite for followers of Evans and continues to endure as one of the 90’s best R&B offerings.  Relive the cut inside and see who joined her in the top 25 this week 23 years ago:
