All roads lead to this Friday for Pink, who will be releasing her 9th studio album ‘Trustfall.’

And the Pop force has mounted a major promotional push for the LP (and its companion stadium tour, the Pink Summer Carnival).

Her latest stop was This Morning in the UK, where she opened up about the project and much more.

During her candid chat with hosts Dermot O’Leary and Josie Gibson, Pink shared that she believes her incoming LP to be her “best” yet.

Rihanna may not have released music in a moment, but it goes without saying that the megastar is the moment. Seemingly ever and always.

One of the key moments the 34-year-old is keen to chronicle most is her journey into motherhood. As such, she aptly covers the March 2023 issue of British Vogue alongside her adorable baby son and partner ASAP Rocky. 

Beyond posing it up in the stunning Inez & Vinoodh lensed shoot, RiRi opens up for what serves as her most candid interview in quite a while.

Dishing on a whole host of topics, the icon – who recently announced her pregnancy with her second child – discussed what it was like giving birth and the immediate aftermath of welcoming her son. She also lifted the lid on the layers of her relationship with rapper Rocky.

Elsewhere, Ms. Fenty spoke frankly about her somewhat last-minute agreement to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show – a gig she reveals she agreed to just weeks before it was formally announced.

Naturally, attention turned to new music. Indeed, as widely known, Rihanna hasn’t released an album in seven years.

And, in a response that may give some fans a glimmer of hope, she revealed that she ideally wants the follow-up to 2016’s ‘ANTI’ to drop this year and even expanded on her sonic process as well as the hurdles causing the now prolific delay.

John Legend‘s latest opus, the September-released ‘LEGEND,’ not only stands as his first to miss the top 40 upon its Billboard 200 arrival but also gave his shortest stay on the chart to date (1 week).

In a bid to get the critically acclaimed set back in front of the masses, the EGOT winner lifted the lid on a “remix” album of sorts by presenting a collection of piano-only renditions of 10 of its tracks. Called the ‘Solo Piano Version,’ the project also boasts two covers: one of Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ and the other of Sade’s ‘By Your Side.’

Speaking on the set, John said the revamped record is reminiscent of his favorite type of live shows: intimate and stripped back.

” I think my fans like it, because it strips the songs down to their essence and they hear my voice, the lyrics, the melodies really purely,” he shared with Billboard.

Welcome to the latest
TGJ Roundtable!

Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!

Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes” about the hottest topics.

Now, we give you a front-row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ and your favorite panel shows, TGJ editors – Sam, Rashad, Joe, and Ryan – get real in a very candid way.

Today’s roundtable topic asks each anchor their thoughts on…

Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show (more…)

Sunday’s epic Super Bowl Halftime Show may be behind us (February 12), but Rihanna is still very much the topic on everyone’s lips.

From her brigade of hits to her eye-popping fashion and that boss-of-a-pregnancy announcement, Rih’s dedicated fans (affectionately called the #Navy) are leading the charge of cheerleading for the diva – fanfare that’s amplified by celebrities and top publications alike.

Hours before Rolling Stone took to press to reveal they’ve championed the 34-year-old’s showing as one of the top 10 greatest of all time (as we reported here), former U.S. president Donald Trump took to press to reveal it’s at the bottom of his list.

Jason Derulo and David Guetta are no strangers to dropping songs that dominate the dancefloor. So, fittingly the pair have teamed up again for their new single ‘Saturday/Sunday.’

Released ahead of Derulo’s performance this Sunday (Feb 11) at the third annual NFL TikTok Tailgate pregame party before the Super Bowl, the track follows the duo’s 2018 collaboration on the Gold-Certified ‘Goodbye’ alongside  Nicki Minaj & Willy William (the video for which has amassed over 150 million views on YouTube).

Speaking on their latest offering, Derulo said:

“Great to partner with David Guetta for this new track. We worked together a while back on ‘Goodbye’ with Nicki Minaj so it’s great to be on the same team again. This one is summertime ready. Also really looking forward to rocking the Super Bowl with it later this weekend.”

Guetta added:

“It’s great to have this collab track out. It’s a record I love so much and I think it is such a banger. I’m really happy to be working with Jason once again, finally!”

East London singer-songwriter Mychelle has been magnetizing a growing audience with a potent pairing of hypnotizing vocals and compelling lyrics.

Drawing on a broad range of influences that include everything from Sade to Folk classics to Corinne Bailey Rae, the rising star has cultivated a unique sound that is definitely hers.

This is especially apparent on her brand-new single ‘Hurts.’ 

Helmed by producer Hugo M. Hardy, the song finds Mychelle musing on a love that has reached the end of the line.

Speaking on the creation of the track, she said:

“This song came together during my first session with Hugo. I really enjoyed working with him as he was able to draw out the indie sounds that I like. Having played guitar and been a busker for years, I’ve always enjoyed mixing the guitar vibes of folk and indie music with soul and R&B.”

The release, Mychelle’s first of 2023, arrives on the heels of single ‘Tightrope’ and her critically acclaimed EP ‘Someone Who Knows.’
