Cop a gander at ‘Keep Me From You‘ MC Eve, storming London’s Graduate Fashion Week in a daring fit yesterday.

Gracing the city’s Earl’s Court in a gladiator inspired piece, the ‘Flashbacks of a Fool’ actress hit the couture driven event weeks after her latest LP ‘Lip Lock’ hit the Billboard 200, by way of the club smash ‘She Bad Bad‘ and the fan favorite, ‘EVE’.

What are Your Top 5 Songs of The Moment?

 

As two of the show’s strongest magnets, Beyonce & Madonna‘s contributions to ‘The Sound of Change’ last Saturday still has viewers from all the around buzzing with excitement.

What these fans may not know, is that before the show kicked off at London’s Twickenham Stadium, both ladies caught up with ‘The Today Show’ to explain their relationship with the empowering cause and why they feel giving girls the tools to succeed is anything beneficial to all of us.

Pink is experiencing a career high with current album ‘The Truth About Love’. The multi-Platinum smash has spawned three chart hits, yet -true to form- the Pop rebel is not resting on her laurels – and has lined up a fourth single from the project.

Breezy mid-tempo ‘True Love’ is the song picked and we couldn’t be happier. For, the Lily Allen assisted cut is, from this vantage point, one of its parent album’s best offerings.

Peep its freshly unwrapped cover above and take a listen to the song after the jump….

‘The New Era Begins’.

If the last few months have taught us anything, it’s that Mariah Carey‘s new management team are geniuses…seriously.

For, in not playing into the idea that her name alone was enough to sell her new material, her camp crafted a radio driven campaign that has seen her win the hearts of an audience far too removed from the 90s to truly appreciate her art.

Now, as her new single ‘Beautiful’ continues to soar across the globe, Ms.Carey has announced the release date of its supporting album.

Find out when that it is below!

Guess which seasoned Pop Princess was snapped out and about in France yesterday.

Hint: She can cite Mary J. Blige, Beyonce, Ashanti, Nicole Scherzinger, Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus as collaborators.

Not sure who she is?

Much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ segments, readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.  So in a quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday we introduced a new retrospective segment – ‘TGJ Replay’.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase albums (and eras) from a library of pop music hits.  Today, we go back to birthday boy/‘Back At One’ beau Brian Mcknight‘s greatest hits – ‘From There To Here’

 C Squad rejoice!!

If you’re a fan of R&B hit maker Ciara, you’ll know that “not long” separates you from her performance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’, shot last night.

The thing is….we’re a little impatient and couldn’t stop ourselves from watching fan footage lifted the set.

So, if you’re anything like this us and in the mood for a live teaser, meet us below (but don’t tell anybody)…

Mariah Carey may be a diva, yet the songstress certainly knows how to tug at the heartstrings.

The 43-year-old, who is riding high from the success of new single ‘#Beautiful’,  shared this warming snap of her enjoying a “festive” moment with mother Patricia Carey and two-year-old daughter Monroe Carey-Cannon.

As Mimi’s ever-loyal Lambs know, the singer learnt her craft from Patricia – who is an Opera vocalist.

In other Mariah news, fresh reports suggest her upcoming album may hit stores sooner than expected. Current pencilled-in dates suggest a Summer release is imminent.

Your thoughts?

While the music world awaits the official kick-off of Beyonce‘s new album campaign, the singer’s first (complete) new song in three years, ‘Rise Up’, has received a digital release.

Now available to purchase on Amazon, the Sia-penned anthem – which features in Bey’s mega-grossing movie ‘Epic’, can now be heard in high quality.

Like much of the diva’s new material, the roll-out of ‘Rise’ was wrapped in quite the conundrum as it was initially omitted from the film’s soundtrack — despite being “the” song used to promote it.

In any case, there’s no confusion as to where you can listen to the stellar number. ‘Rise Up’ awaits after the jump…

Since blazing back onto the scene with last Summer’s ‘Put It Down’, Brandy has not looked back.

Indeed, after wracking up critical acclaim for her comeback effort ‘Two Eleven’, the soon-to-be Mrs. Press nabbed high profile role in Tyler Perry’s ‘Temptation’ movie and was upgraded to a regular on BET hit ‘The Game’.

Keen to keep her momentum going, the 34-year-old has signed to a major talent agency. All the details after the jump…
