Fifth Harmony lived up to their name on Access Hollywood this week.

Normani, Dinah, Ally, Lauren, and Camila did away with the slick production on their performance of new single ‘Sledgehammer’ and instead served up an acoustic version of the track.

Here at TGJ, we have time aplenty for any act who can deliver dynamite vocals and work a stage. As such, 5H are after our hearts and coins – and are succeeding in the process.

Peep their performance below…

She did that!

And by “that”, we mean launch a brand new clothing line.

Tamar Braxton‘s aptly titled fashion range, the ‘Tamar Collection’, opened its digital doors today and surprisingly features more than the previously reported fan-apparel.

The singer, reality star, and TV host is selling branded dresses, shoes, skirts, jumpsuits, and more at as part of the line – which debuts ahead of her new studio album (due next year).

Welcome, once again, to TGJ Replay.

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest retrospective segment – a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.  As this week marks the 10th anniversary of the ultimate Destiny’s Child album ‘Destiny Fulfilled,’ we thought it only fitting to cater our latest foray down memory lane to one of the best-selling girl groups in history.

Get reacquainted with their final full length studio album below:

Fergie is back and blazing with hot new single ‘L.A. Love (La La)’. And it appears there’s more fire on the way from the Black Eyed Peas front-woman.

During a visit to Hot 97 today to promote the track and its newly released video, the singer revealed that she has teamed up with Hip-Hop superstar, Nicki Minaj.

With Danity Kane dissolved, the group’s members have dispersed and are pursing individual hustles.

However, as fans of the dynamite divas will remember, the ladies made it routine to make stage slayage look “easy…easy…easy”.

It was no surprise, then, that sassy track ‘All In A Day’s Work’ emerged as a favourite with the masses when debuted on tour.

However, in lieu of the departure of member Aundrea Fimbres in May, the version of the song featured on the trio’s final album ‘DK3’ (released last month) did not feature her vocals or her verse. Instead, Aubrey O’Day sole verse was repeated twice.

Interestingly, Fimbres’ version surfaced today. Take a listen below and let us know which you prefer!

Ariana Grande has done it again.

The petite powerhouse has scored yet another top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100; this time, it’s with ‘Love Me Harder’ – the third single to be lifted from her sophomore LP ‘My Everything’.

Beyonce‘s chart pull continues to prove oh so potent.

The singer is gearing up to re-release her self-titled visual album on November 24th and, as reported, will roll out a standalone digital EP in parallel comprised of the project’s new songs, remixes, and live performances.

Retailing at a modest $8.99, the “add on pack” (aimed at those who already have the original LP) went up for pre-order on iTunes yesterday and has already rocketed into the top ten of the outlet’s US store.

Nicki Minaj may be polishing ‘The Pinkprint’ album for release next month, however she’s smartly maintaining omnipresence by way of features.

Fresh from teaming up with Beyonce on the ‘Flawless’ remix, the rapper has paired up once again with EDM titan David Guetta. The duo, who previously collaborated on global smash ‘Turn Me On’, are gearing up to unwrap new song ‘Hey Mama’

Set to feature on the DJ’s new album ‘Listen’ (due November 24th), a snippet of the ‘Mama’ has been released. Check it out below…

With November creeping on, anticipation for Rihanna‘s eighth McAlbum continues to escalate.

Oddly, the set is taking much longer to cook than its predecessors and has seen the 26-year-old maintain a lengthy spell out of the spotlight – while the likes of Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Beyonce have dominated the Pop landscape.

Under the guise of mystery and intrigue, the star has managed to evade questions about the project.

Yet, when promoting her new Rogue Man fragrance in Fort Belvoir, Virginia yesterday, she was asked about the LP directly and surprisingly answered.

Find out what she had to say below…

All week Azealia Banks has been earning rave reviews for her debut album ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’ , which arrived by surprise last Friday.

Yet, the rapper isn’t resting on her laurels as there’s clearly work to do.

Having hit retail with only two days worth of sales to count, the LP is on course to shift 12,000 copies first week Stateside.

And while context is important to stress in any debate about the project’s performance, it’s become immediately apparent that if it’s to succeed it will be a slow burner.

Hoping to light a match under it, Banks has unveiled the video for its latest single ‘Chasing Time’. Check it out below…

Tinashe is taking her talent on the road.

As earlier reported, the ‘2 On’ belter, who has been gaining rave reviews for her guest stint on Nick Jonas’ ‘Jealous’, is heading to Europe next year in support of her debut album ‘Aquarius’.

However, her Stateside fans need not worry.

Because today the 21-year-old announced the US leg of the trek, which has now been christened the ‘Aquarius Tour’.

Set to kick off next month, the dates for the jaunt await after the jump (along with preview of what she’ll be serving up)

Motherhood and music, music and motherhood.

Ciara has made her main focusses abundantly clear of late.

When not jet-setting with her six month old son Future Jr, the ‘Body Party’ belter has been sharing shots of herself in the studio as she continues work on her sixth album.

Having already worked with the likes of Dr. Luke and Diane Warren on the LP, the 29-year-old revealed Harmony Samuels to be the latest name to sign-on to the project.

The stage blazer shared the snap above on Instagram this week, saying:

Me N @HarmonySamuels. #WeWorkin

She would go on to add on another snap:

#ThisSongWeJustDidIsNutttttss!!! #WeWorkin

**************

As some may know, Harmony has been at the helm of amazing music for the likes of Ariana Grande (‘The Way’), Destiny’s Child (‘You’ve Changed’), Tamar (‘Let Me Know’) and Fantasia (‘Side Effects Of You’ LP).

Incredibly versatile, he makes for an awesome addition to the roster of great names CiCi has lined up for the project.

We’re all sorts of buzzed!
