Brandy is continuing to bake her new album and has enlisted a potent new ingredient.

This morning the Vocal Bible shared a snap of herself in the studio with producer Hit-Boy.

The aptly named hitmaker boasts a discography which includes smashes such as Beyonce’s ‘Flawless’ and Kanye West & Jay-Z’s ‘N*ggas In Paris’.

Can he cook up an equally engaging cut for B-Rocka?! Time will tell.

In the meanwhile, check out our recent interview with the singer below. She opens up to us about the process of recording what she deems one of her most heartfelt efforts yet…

Ciara is coming and sooner than one might think!

These were the sentiments relayed by hit-making producer Harmony, who we can EXCLUSIVELY reveal has landed the lead single from the diva’s new album.

That Grape Juice caught up with the music maestro recently and chatted it up about his meteoric rise and the many releases he has on the horizon for 2015 – including songs on new LP’s from Fifth Harmony, Tamar Braxton, and JoJo.

Top of the list, it seems though, was CiCi’s project which he gushed about in earnest.

For those who were worried, R&B singer/songwriter Keri Hilson is still all smiles despite a weekend of disparaging headlines.

By now, we’re sure you’ve heard the rumor or seen the visuals of the ‘Pretty Girl Rock’ performer rocking out her hits to what seemed to be an empty house.  On hand at AT&T Playoff Playlist Live!, opening for Lenny Kravitz at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, several videos of the diva at work swarmed the net with less than flattering captions.

Well, it looks like Miss Keri Baby has finally had enough of the detractors.  Did you miss her clap back?  If so, you know we’ve got you covered:

The Mezzo-Soprano that is Jessie J is heading Down Under!

In a move that should hopefully see her garner a Pink-flavoured following in the market, the ‘Bang Bang‘ singer is reportedly gearing up to relocate in Australia this year, signing up to coach on ‘The Voice Australia.’

New music alert!

Joining Usher, Ne-Yo & Jeremih to drop new cuts in 2015 is R&B royal Trey Songz, the hit maker behind the new jam ‘Slow Motion.’

“Intense” to say the very least, the cut drops before he kicks off his ‘Between the Sheets Tour’ with longtime pal Chris Brown and before he touches down in Europe to serve as the opening act for Nicki Minaj‘s forthcoming world tour!

Got hot’n’heavy with Mr. Steal Yo Girl, below…

Fortunately for her fans, the album sees her detail her feelings towards said departure through the song ‘Castles’, now available to play below.

Why Aubrey O’Day may want to give the Swagg R’Celious-produced jam a serious listen?

It’s no secret that viewers of Lifetime’s shambolic ‘Aaliyah:  The Princess of R&B’ shuddered when greeted with news that the women’s network would tackle an unauthorized biographical account of pop icon Whitney Houston.  While comforted by thoughts that the film’s director, Houston’s ‘Waiting To Exhale’ co-star Angela Bassett, at least knew her personally, the absence of familial support or involvement (just like the Wendy Williams produced affair) discouraged some fans from lending support.

At That Grape Juice, we initially shared that same skepticism.  After one view of the emotional rollercoaster that is Lifetime’s ‘Whitney,’ however, we can say with certainty that this could very well be the TV event of the season.

Read why below:

After heading to Splitsville last year, 2015 has seen Nicki Minaj and A&R coordinator Safaree Samuels move onto pastures new with brand new relationships, confirmed and publicised via social media.

Unfortunately, said breakup has seen the rapper garner more press about her personal life than her latest studio album recently, set to remain this way for a while thanks a new interview given by Samuels to the ‘The Breakfast Club‘ radio show.

Reality TV worthy mess below…
