The O’Jays are back!

Highly decorated, the soulful ensemble have thrilled fans for over 50 years with their trademark brand of R&B, however, it’s been almost two decades since they released a studio album.

That’s all set to change on April 19th when the trio – presently comprised of Eddie Levert Sr, Walter Williams, and Eric Grant – unleash their aptly titled final LP, ‘The Last Word.’  The set is led by new number ‘I Got You,’ which made its debut today.

Ahead of its premiere, That Grape Juice caught up with the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductees to discuss the song, its parent project, and their chance pairing with stage blazer Bruno Mars.

Cop a gander of Katy Perry!

The Pop star puts a unique spin on her trademark look in a “transformation” spread for Paper Magazine. 

Lensed by Juno Calypso, the feature sees the singer strike many a left field pose in a creative that seems to pull from her past and present aesthetics.

Could it be a possible hint of what’s to come from her next album cycle?

She recently hinted at being on a hiatus of sorts (following the under-performance of 2017 effort ‘Witness’).

A stance she seemed to re-assert in her Paper interview. She said of her current headspace:

“I rung the bell of being the ‘biggest pop star ever’ so many times. I know how to command the attention of a lot of people for two hours, but I didn’t know you have to put salt in the water when you cook.”

So, while her fans wait on fresh material, peep more from her shoot below…

After days of teasing, music lovers can finally feast their eyes on ‘Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored’ – the latest single from Ariana Grande‘s new album, ‘thank u, next’ (in stores February 8th).

Penned by singer-songwriter Kandi Burruss and produced by Max Martin, the bass-heavy cut samples N*SYNC‘s 2000’s tune, ‘It Makes Me Ill’ (found aboard the group’s mega-selling second album, ‘No Strings Attached).’ 

Coming just weeks after Grande topped the Hot 100 with her latest hit, ‘7 Rings’ (where the song remains as of time reported), look inside to see if the singer is launching yet another tune to the top of the charts.

As we reported here, it all started after Brown took to social media to share memes that ridiculed the arrest and detainment of 21 Savage.  After the rapper’s ‘Ric Flair Drip’ co-star, Offset, labeled Chris ‘lame’ for the joke, the ‘Poppin’ singer popped all the way off on the Migos star and even suggested the two fight to resolve their beef.

Offset didn’t take the threat lightly.  Just a day after labelling brown a ‘coke head,’ he took to social media to tell the Grammy winner:

The Wheezy-produced song, found on Meek’s chart-topping album ‘Championships,’ had already reached a #15 peak on the Hot 100 from hype alone.  Undoubtedly this visual will help push it into the top 10.
