Still, the ladies are keen to show the varying tones and textures of its housing album ‘Glory Days.’

Due in stores on November 18th, the group have debuted a fresh cut from the LP titled ‘You Gotta Not.’

Penned by Meghan Trainor, the track prescribes a similar sass as ‘Ex’ but embraces production that is much more Island spiced.

Take a listen after the jump…

By way of first week sales garnered by her 2013 release ‘Love & War’ and her reign on Reality TV, Tamar Braxton holds an enviable position in R&B.

So, there’s no doubt that her fans had high hopes for her latest set ‘Calling All Lovers‘, which-despite failing to fly commercially- was well-received by her core base.

This month, said hopes have been dashed to flames.

Why?

Despite a vehement denial via an attorney released statement on behalf of Academy Award-winning actor Russell Crowe indicating no racially charged interaction took place between himself and controversial femcee Azealia Banks at a party recently (click here to read more if you missed it), she is still forging on a media blitz to contend otherwise.

In fact, as recently as last week, RZA – the famed rapper who invited Banks to the soiree – has corroborated Crowe’s claims and ultimately said the rapstress not only caused the commotion, but was never accosted verbally or physically.

Now, taking to Access Hollywood, an emotional Banks is clapping back at RZA and Crowe for denying what she says was a “humiliating experience.”  Recounting the incident to the point where she was moved to tears, watch her gripping testimony below and give us your thoughts:

She may have seen her latest album, ‘Glory,’ slip completely out of the Billboard 200 this week (after only 2 months), but, as we reported here, pop icon Britney Spears is looking to give interest in her 9th era a much-needed awakening courtesy of the Tinashe-assisted ‘Slumber Party.’

Putting to rest rumors of the ‘Super Love’ singer’s inclusion on the track earlier this week when she took to social media to lift a photo of the them together, the RCA labelmates apparently have something “very big” in store for their respective fan bases.

An epic dance off maybe?  We can only hope.  Until we get the finished product, however, you can tuck in below to hear from Spears’ mouth what can be expected from the reportedly cinematic visual:

Well, if new reports prove true, the reason for his absence isn’t as surprising in hindsight.

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’ll take it back to Destiny’s Child mega comeback hit ‘Lose My Breath,’ the inaugural release from their last studio album ‘Destiny Fulfilled’ (2004).  With thunderous drums, slick horns, and an overdose of sass – the song, penned by Destiny’s Child, Rodney Jerkins, Jay Z, Sean Garrett, and Lashawn Daniels –  came as a booming announcement that music’s top group had returned with a vengeance.  Its video, as noted by critics, was exact in its purpose of demonstrating that a new “Destiny’s Child” had arrived. Long gone were the days of tacky matching outfits with girlish design and in its place were three learned women whose destiny had led them full circle. Whatever the message, it worked.

Anticipation of ‘Breath’ saw it debut in the top 30 of the Hot 100 before its physical release.  Shortly thereafter, the song skyrocketed to the #3 spot where it peaked this week 12 years ago.  Check below to see who joined them in the top 25 that week:
