thatgrapejuice-destiny fulfilled

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 this week marks the 10th anniversary of the ultimate Destiny’s Child album ‘Destiny Fulfilled,’ we thought it only fitting to cater our latest foray down memory lane to one of the best-selling girl groups in history.

Get reacquainted with their final full length studio album below:

With November creeping on, anticipation for Rihanna‘s eighth McAlbum continues to escalate.

Oddly, the set is taking much longer to cook than its predecessors and has seen the 26-year-old maintain a lengthy spell out of the spotlight – while the likes of Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Beyonce have dominated the Pop landscape.

Under the guise of mystery and intrigue, the star has managed to evade questions about the project.

Yet, when promoting her new Rogue Man fragrance in Fort Belvoir, Virginia yesterday, she was asked about the LP directly and surprisingly answered.

Find out what she had to say below…

The microwaving of Rihanna‘s latest plate of greasy McMusic has been shroud in secrecy.

Indeed, sans select studio snaps, the only indication that the diva’s new album is nigh has been her well-timed return to Instagram and the slew of new photoshoots that followed.

However, in a new interview, Ne-Yo has revealed that he has had sessions with the 26-year-old – adding that what he’s heard of the rest of the LP is “incredible”.

With all but an announcement rolled out, it’s fair to say Rihanna season is upon us.

The racy rebel, whose new album had been delayed for more than a year due to competition from chart rivals, must finally feel that the coast is clear as reliable intel informs us that a big reveal is nigh.

In the interim, the 26-year-old is pushing the visual component of her campaign hard; for, this week alone she returned to Instagram, covered Elle, and took off all her clothes for Esquire UK.

Moments ago, behind the scenes footage from the latter surfaced. Check it below…

All doubt was dissolved today, though. Because it formally announced that both ladies will star as competing contestants on the newest season, which debuts in January…
