Today brings with it the global release of Shakira‘s self-titled new album.

The opus, which serves as the star’s first English language effort since 2009’s ‘She Wolf’, has the world’s eyes watching – primarily as it’s her debut effort under the Roc Nation managerial umbrella.

Preceded by singles ‘Can’t Remember To Forget You (ft. Rihanna)’ and ‘Empire’, the set is being hailed by some as a fine return to form. For select others, however, the project serves up more questions than it does answers. Indeed, the lack of supporting performances has been puzzling, as has the fact only one video has been spun into rotation. A fact that is almost criminal given the VEVO age we’re in.

Still, ever keen to plough through the smoke, mirrors, and propaganda, That Grape Juice wants to know:

Will YOU be buying Shakira’s new album?

Pop megastar Beyonce may have spent the last month crossing borders on her ‘Mrs.Carter Show’ world tour, but it would seem her self-titled new album has no intentions of leaving the spot it currently resides in.

Most recently sitting down with “Queen of All Media” Wendy Williams, who wasted no time getting into hot topics, the Georgia emcee quickly found himself chatting about everything in his personal life from fiancee/R&B stageblazer Ciara to their wedding plans and the gender of their unborn child.

Playing quite coy, the normally laid back rapper seemed eager to answer the questions – even after Williams switched to talk about more controversial issues.  Finally putting to rest the rumors that swirl around his unreleased tune “Good Morning” and Beyonce’s most recent top hit “Drunk In Love”, tuck in below to see what Future had to say about all the aforementioned topics and more.

For all their lush colours and epic backdrops, Lady GaGa music videos tend to marvel and confuse in equal measure.

The star’s latest, ‘G.U.Y’, is no exception. For while the short-film has taken the industry by storm since landing two days ago (a period in which it has racked up over 10 million views), it’s left some fans and critics scratching their heads.

Alas, there’s no need to fret.

Mother Monster stopped by Sirus XM Radio today to promote the ‘ARTPOP’ clip, sharing fresh insight into its concept.

An interesting watch, we must say.

When she hit the scene in 2008, Lady GaGa credited ‘Lonely’ singer Akon for being instrumental in her rise from underground artiste to chart-scorching debutante.

Joined at the hip during the promotional campaign for her debut album ‘The Fame‘ and its lead single ‘Just Dance’, the years that followed saw the ‘Konvict‘ creator fade into this distance as the ‘Paparazzi’ singer became the global force we now know her to be today.

This week, Akon has detailed the demise of their business relationship, explaining why he ‘sold his share’ once he believed she had peaked.
