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.

Hit ‘PLAY’ above to hear about what he’s cooked up with the R&B songbird and be sure to keep it locked on That Grape Juice for more from our interview with Harmony!

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:

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:
