Fifth Harmony triumphantly unleashed their third studio album today.

Self-titled, over half of the the 10-track set was penned by ladies and also features contributions from the likes of Skrillex, Poo Bear, Ester Dean, Harmony Samuels, and The Stereotypes. 

We, here at That Grape Juice, have had the set on replay and are buzzed to share our take on its brightest gems.

Join us below where 3 Must-Hear Songs from ‘Fifth Harmony’ await…

Welcome back to TGJ Replay!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest reflective segment to act as a written quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday. Unlike its TGJ retrospective predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.

To commemorate the 16th anniversary of the untimely passing of R&B’s princess Aaliyah, we’ll salute her last official LP – the eponymous project ‘Aaliyah.’

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

So, just 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 pucker up for Seal‘s 1995 megahit, ‘Kiss From A Rose’ (most famously from the ‘Batman Forever’ soundtrack).  Written in the late 80s, the track was initially a source of embarrassment for the crooner who ultimately shelved it until the recording of his second eponymous album, 1994’s ‘Seal II.’  Eventually released in the United States in 1995, ‘Rose’ also landed on the ‘Batman’ soundtrack – a move that helped it blast to #1 Stateside (where it was found this week that year).

Going on to sell over 8 million copies, the tune dominated the next year’s Grammy ceremony by taking home ‘Record of the Year,’ ‘Song of the Year,’ and other honors.

Tuck in below to see who joined Seal in the top 25 on this week’s ‘Retro Rewind’:

It’s been three long years since Toni Braxton released ‘Love, Marriage, & Divorce’ – her collaborative concept album with Babyface.

In the time since, the soulful contralto has focussed on TV ventures and even mulled retirement from music.

Thankfully, the latter never came to fruition and it appears Braxton is about to drop new material.

Miguel serves up a slick slice of edgy R&B on ‘Sky Walker’ – his first solo release since 2015’s ‘Wildheart’ era.

Sans select features, the crooner has remained mum in the time since release of that LP. But, he’s back and ready to blaze with the Travis Scott assisted track.

However, he now not only has dropped a fresh song (which he co-produced with Happy Perez); he’s also unwrapped its accompanying video.

How she did it?

Stacey Dash‘s involuntarily decision to leave Fox News has seen her forced to share her world views from the sidelines of the political game.

So, if it was attention she was seeking when she labelled the revered, respected and admired Maxine Waters a “buffoon” hours ago, she’ll be happy to learn that she received it.

What she may not be as elated about is who it came from and what they have to say about her life, career…and “peanut head.”
