Since 1985, October has been christened Breast Cancer Awareness month – a health campaign designed not only to raise awareness about the cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and eventual cure of the disease but also to celebrate survivors and honor those who have lost their battles with it.

To commemorate the occasion this year, five powerhouse female musical superstars – Dolly Parton, Monica, Jordin Sparks, Sara Evans and Rita Wilson – joined forces in the fight against breast cancer via their new  song “PINK”.

A special collaboration set to see its proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen®, the world’s leading breast cancer organization, the tune was produced by Victoria Shaw and co-written with Erin Kinsey and Jodi Marr.

Speaking on the unexpected collective effort, the legendary Parton revealed:

“This is such a beautiful song of hope,” said Dolly Parton.  “I’m honored to join with these powerful women to help support Susan G. Komen’s life-saving work.”

That sentiment was echoed by fellow GRAMMY winner Monica.

“Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among African American women!  My goal is to change that,” added Monica.  “My life and loved ones have been directly impacted by this disease and I want us all to live in a world without breast cancer.  Let’s make pink just another color.”

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 today marks the 36th anniversary of Sade‘s debut album, ‘Diamond Life,’ it’s only fitting we shine a spotlight on the sensational LP.

Alfre Woodard‘s illustrious career adds an incredible new chapter named ‘Clemency.’

Directed by Chinonye Chukwu, the harrowing prison drama won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival and deservingly so.

The film sees Woodard deliver a masterful performance as death row Warden Bernadine Williams.

Throughout its course, ‘Clemency’ hones in on the tall toll executions and their preceding moments take on Williams.

Central to the story is her interaction with a particular prisoner (played by Aldis Hodge), who maintains his innocence.

Ahead of the film’s UK release on July 17th, That Grape Juice‘s Samuel Eni caught up with the revered actress, who opened up about the role, the move towards equality in Black in Hollywood, advice for young creatives, and much more.

As we reported here, Katy Perry planted her 25th top 40 hit onto the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘Daisies’ – the official first single from her yet-titled fifth studio album.

Despite quickly plummeting to the chart’s lower rankings in the weeks that followed (found at #76 this week), The Monsters & Strangerz-produced cut boasts the longest shelf-life of any Perry song since her 2017 ‘Witness’ era – an achievement aided by the aggressive promo push it’s been afforded.

Over her nearly 40-year career, R&B legend Anita Baker has racked up accolades and acclaim the world over – renown for a velvety alto that’s gifted music lovers unforgettable hits like ‘Sweet Love,’ ‘Giving You the Best That I Got,’ ‘Body & Soul,’ and more.

But, despite venturing to dizzying heights of fame, Baker – like a number of other African Americans – has been a victim of unfair treatment from law enforcement officers.

In the wake of one of the hottest spotlights shone on racial injustice in recent memory, the GRAMMY winner is using her platform to connect with fans and inform them she too has had negative run-ins with police.
