The campaign for Rita Ora‘s second studio album has been quite the roller-coaster.

Initially due last year, the project was taken back to the drawing board after a public fall-out with ex boyfriend/producer Calvin Harris. This, despite the set yielding the chart-topping single ‘I Will Never Let You Down.’

In the twelve months that have passed since the drama, the 24-year-old has kept busy with countless endorsements, high profile features, acting gigs on the big and small screen, and a coaching role on The Voice UK.

Musically, though, it finally looks as if Ora is ready to roll with her LP.

Here at That Grape Juice, we’re always keen to spotlight titillating new talent.

So when superfly duo LION BABE roared onto the scene, it was only a matter of time before we caught up with them to discuss their breakout success.

Hailing from New York’s Lower East Side, the young group are comprised of Lucas Goodman and Jillian Hervey – the daughter of actress Vanessa Williams.

Familial ties may bring about comparisons, yet the duo are carving out their own success narrative thanks to their eclectic mix of R&B, Soul, and Electronica.

Having given the masses a meaty taste of their sound on their self-titled EP (which included the critically praised ‘Treat Me Like Fire’), LION are charging ahead full speed with their album debut (due on Outsiders/Universal Music later this year).

Boasting support from some the industry’s top names, the group have already recruited Pharrell Williams for the project. The hitmaker takes the helm of their whimsical new single ‘Wonder Woman,’ which landed online this week.

Wonder what the buzz is about? Watch our exclusive chat with LION BABE above and check out ‘Wonder Woman’ and more below…

Keyshia Cole is at quite the crossroads – both personally and professionally.

The Grammy nominated songbird is sharing her journey of music, motherhood, and family drama in her hit BET series ‘Keyshia Cole: All In,’ which we caught up with her to discuss this week.

Ever candid, the singer opened up to That Grape Juice about the new phases fans will see her entering into on the show – which airs every Tuesday at 9.30pm.

Most notable was her revelation that she’s going independent, as well as her confirmation that she’s already hard at work on her new album – the follow-up to 2014’s ‘Point Of No Return.’

Cole also talks her separation, as well as wanting to collaborate with Beyonce.
