The cut, which will serve as the first US release from Ora’s upcoming album, now has a confirmed title of ‘Body On Me.’

According to the 24-year-old Roc Nation star, the song’s debut is merely two weeks away.

If ever silent slayage had a face it would probably look like The Weeknd.

Sure, the Canadian crooner may not dominate headlines like his more famous Urban/hip-hop influenced counterparts, but the absence from tabloids and blog headlines has not come with an absence of dominance of charts.  Case in point?  A quick peruse of this week’s Hot 100.

Once there, you’ll discover Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd’s real name) not once, but twice in the top 10 with his latest single ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ slowly but surely feeling its way to number 1.  His multiple appearances in the tally’s upper dectet has only cemented less places for females as – much like 2014 – males continue control of the Hot 100.

Pop audiences struggled to understand why or how the news went a long way to tarnish her already questionable public image.

Now, as UMG sibling Drake faces similar claims a ghostwriter has stepped forward to reveal just how he or she made a fortune building bops in a game where discretion isn’t always 100% guaranteed.

Second single. 

For a new artist who smashed with their debut, following up with another hit is always a tall order.

Undeterred, ‘Somebody’ singer Natalie La Rose makes a bold attempt to cement her name in the minds of the masses with new single ‘All Around The World.’

To aid her cause, the Flo Rida protege – who hit #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 on her first swing of the bat – has tapped MC of the moment Fetty Wap.

Having proved an infallible streaming force with ‘Somebody’ can the Dutch bred ex dancer sustain interest with the ‘World’ visual?

Welcome back to TGJ Replay!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest reflective segment to act as a written quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday. Unlike its TGJ retrospective predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.
