Next Tuesday is D-Day for Danity Kane fans.

The disbanded trio are set to roll-out the final parting gift to their supporters with the release of their third and last studio album ‘DK3’.

Ever since previewing select cuts from the LP during live shows this year, the high-octane ‘All In A Day’s Work’ has emerged as a fan favourite.

So, with exactly a week to go before the LP hits retail, what better track to share than the dance-floor jam ‘Work’?

Take a listen below…

Gwen Stefani is strutting the promo trail in support of new single ‘Baby Don’t Lie’ – which officially arrived at radio and iTunes today.

The No Doubt star is pressing ahead full steam with the track, which will see its video teased tonight on The Voice and debuted in its entirety tomorrow.

Still, with the cut’s housing album due for release before the year’s end, the eclectic songbird is giving the masses another feel of what she’s been cooking up in her nest.

‘Spark The Fire’, a new song produced by longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams, was previewed during a radio interview today.

In the words of Ms. Stefani herself…”what are you waiting for?” Take a listen below…

Forget Friday’s, it appears all the action takes place Thursday nights on ABC.

For, joining the established hits that are ‘Scandal’ and ‘Greys Anatomy’ is Shonda’s Rhimes’ new freshman series ‘How To Get Away With Murder’.

The legal drama, which stars Viola Davis, follows a group of ambitious law students and their brilliant criminal defence professor; the group become involved in a twisted murder plot that promises to change the course of their lives. 

It all makes for a riveting watch. We’re already hooked!

Next week sees Nicole Scherzinger‘s second studio album, ‘Big Fat Lie‘, land in stores.

Currently being marketed to Europe, there’s no word yet on when (or if) the Sony Music set will arrive Stateside. Although, with the former Pussycat Doll recently inking a deal with Sony subsidiary Epic (under stewardship of L.A. Reid), it’s safe to expect a US roll-out of sorts soon.

In the meanwhile, to amplify anticipation, the star’s team have unzipped a preview of the entire album.

Listen to the sampler below and let us know what you think…

In the crowded R&B climate, it’s often tricky trying to make waves in the game of music. However, for newcomer Tiara Thomas it’s been a winning feat.

Signed to Interscope by way of Rico Love‘s Division 1 imprint, the starlet has captured the attention of many a critic thanks to her sweet, but street appeal and material that’s very much soaked in the realities of everyday life and love.

Having previewed the 25-year-old’s upcoming album over the Summer, we can more than vouch for the fact that she’s gearing up to blaze the charts with songs that are bringing heat of dangerous degrees.

Though the as yet untitled LP is due next year, the Indiana native has given folk a taste of what to expect with lead single ‘One Night’ – which you can check out below, along with an introductory interview. In the months ahead, look out for another track christened ‘On Ten’. It’s aptly titled, because it’s a winner.

For now, peep the action after the jump…

Tamar-Braxton-Let-Me-Know-Live2-ThatGrapeJuice

As earlier reported, last night saw Tamar Braxton serve up the premiere performance of her hot new single ‘Let Me Know (ft. Future)’.

The showing took place at the For Sisters Only event in Atlanta, Georgia, before an audience of thousands.

Ever outspoken, the 37-year-old R&B belle has made it routine on ‘Braxton Family Values’ to stress how much of a perfectionist she is.

It begs the question, then, did she hit pitch perfect notes with her first showing of ‘Let Me’? Watch below and let us know!

After a lengthy break on the bench, ‘TGJ Replay’ is back!

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 saw the release of ‘Point of No Return,’ the 6th album of R&B chanteuse Keyshia Cole, we thought it would be the perfect time to reminisce over her catalog and revisit our favorite album of hers –  ‘Just Like You.’

We’ll meet you on the other side:

In 2010, she was accused of launching a Emily Thorne-sized assault on Christina Aguilera‘s career.

In 2013, the pair buried their supposed beef to support her critically acclaimed single ‘Do What U Want‘, and this year- one year after the release of her #1 album ‘ARTPOP‘, Lady GaGa has seen her vocal stylings compared to Aguilera‘s in a review of her latest album ‘Cheek to Cheek.’

Why ‘Vanity Fair‘ feel GaGa fans have Aguilera to thank for the singer’s big and brassy sound on the project?

Jessie J‘s career is on fire at present, so what better single to serve up than the dangerously blazing ‘Burnin’ Up’.

The vocal powerhouse has serviced the track as the newest number to be lifted from her third studio album, ‘Sweet Talker’, which arrives on October 13th.

Based on this behind the scenes look at its Hannah Lux Davis helmed video, Jessie will be venturing into previously unchartered terrain by serving up choreography and being paired with a love interest.

‘Fancy’ femcee Iggy Azalea isn’t content with owning the charts for most of the year. The rapper is looking to stage a total takeover with the re-release of her debut album ‘The New Classic’.

And while details (beyond the re-issuing’s existence) are scarce, new snippets appear to have surfaced.

Azalea’s friend and stylist, Latina Turner, shared clips of herself in the car with the star listening to her new material this morning.

What are you waiting for? Preview what Ms. I-GG-Y has been cooking up below…
