Pop quad Little Mix performed tonight on the semi-final results show of BBC hit ‘Strictly Come Dancing.’

The live offering, which is the latest in support of the group’s new album ‘LM5,’ was notable on several fronts.

Jesy, Jade, Perrie, and Leigh-Anne rocked the stage together with an all-female band and all-female dancers – a first in the history of the show. It also served as the group’s inaugural performance on ‘Strictly.’ A fact that many see as more than coincidence following their recent split from Simon Cowell (who helms rival show ‘The X Factor’).

How did they do? Check out the performance below…

Debuting at #1 and staying there for three weeks before being ousted by Travis Scott & Drake‘s ‘Sicko Mode’ (click here to read more), the song – thanks to its star-studded, cinematic video – not only saw its accompanying visual break Youtube records, but will also be the reason the song returns to #1 on next week’s refreshed Hot 100.

To show fans she’s far from done traipsing the promo trail in support of her first chart-topper ahead of its return to the top, the songstress has unveiled a second behind the scenes video of its creation.  Look inside to see the 11 min clip:

As widely reported, the nominations for the 2019 Grammys were unveiled yesterday and were hailed by many for being the most the diverse in a decade.

Yet, as is customary, there were a number of shut-outs that left certain acts and their fans fuming.

Such was the case for R&B siren Teyana Taylor.

After years of push-backs (due to label drama and buzz building), the singer’s sophomore album ‘K.T.S.E’ (‘Keep That Same Energy’) finally arrived in June. The set formed part of Kanye West‘s G.O.O.D Music slate of releases – and, as such, was subject to the grating delays and confusion that defined each of the projects he helmed. Many of which ended up not arriving on time, yielded no music videos, and never scored a physical release.

In a candid conversations with fans, Taylor cites the roll-out as one of the causes of the LP’s snub, along with popularity politics.

Here at That Grape Juice, we’re always on the look-out for new and exciting talent. Case in point Alex Parvenu.

Hailing from London, the soul-filled singer has been drumming up all sorts of buzz on the live circuit and has received early nods from the likes of Tom Elmhirst (Amy Winehouse, Adele) and Fugees hitmaker Jerry Wonder.

Now the rising star is aiming to beam into mass consciousness with official impact single ‘It Wasn’t Me.’

Boasting a skillset that is multi-tiered, Parvenu not only wrote and produced the jam – he directed its animated video.

Featuring “appearances” from a number of notable faces, the star-studded clip puts a satirical spin on the song’s narrative which he explained as such:

“It’s every dad’s worst nightmare when their beloved daughter brings home their boyfriend. In that moment, one forgets that they too were once in the same position as ‘the boyfriend’.”
