Welcome, once again, to TGJ Replay.

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest 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.

As today marks the 36th anniversary of Sade‘s debut album, ‘Diamond Life,’ it’s only fitting we shine a spotlight on the sensational LP.

French Montana‘s bringing the heat and the chill in his new video, ‘Cold.’

Despite its high profile feature, Tory Lanez, the May-released song has yet to impact any Billboard chart.  That could very well change once viewers cop a gander at its Eif Rivera-directed visual.

Starting off in a frigid paradise chockfull of scantily clad ladies, the video shifts gears to a summery tropical vibe.

It’s been over a year since India.Arie dropped her last critically acclaimed album, ‘Worthy,’ but the GRAMMY winner is still hot on the promo trail supporting its content.

Less than two months after introducing her fans – affectionately called #SoulBirds – to the short film ‘Welcome Home’ (which housed music from ‘Worthy’), she’s welcoming them to get acquainted with new song ‘Rollercoaster.’

Produced by Shannon Sanders, the socially conscious tune’s now being accompanied by a lyric video.

Hazel-E is bringing the heat to Marriage Boot Camp: Hip-Hop Edition.

Renowned for her spicy, these days the reality TV veteran is enjoying the calmer role of motherhood.

Before welcoming daughter Ava Dior, Hazel and partner De’Von Waller took part in the latest instalment of the hit WEtv series – which also features Phaedra Parks.

As the drama heats up on screen, That Grape Juice caught up with the smitten couple, who opened up about their romantic journey, parenthood, and living with their co-stars.

Hazel also dished on a possible return to ‘Love & Hip-Hop.’

The last few years may have seen funnywoman Loni Love go from veteran comedienne to EMMY and NAACP Image-winning household name thanks to the top-rated daytime talk show, ‘The Real,’ but for decades the 49-year-old says she was being forced to be everything but real.

From her appearance to her comedic material and everything in between, Hollywood’s encouraged Love to trade authenticity for likability – an exchange she’s fought and prevailed against as she candidly reveals via a series of stories in her new memoir ‘I Tried to Change So You Don’t Have To: True Life Lessons’ (available now).

That Grape Juice caught up with the ever-hilarious Loni in early June (ahead of Amanda Seales and Tamera Mowry-Housley‘s respectively announced departures from ‘The Real’) to dish on the new book, her community activism during the pandemic, and so much more.
