Jennifer Lopez has made a career out of scorching the competition, as such it’s little surprise that the dynamite diva does exactly that on the cover for newest single ‘Booty’.

The dance-floor jam, which was produced by Diplo and penned by Chris Brown, is the latest to be lifted from the 45-year-old’s tenth studio album ‘A.K.A’ – which has thus far spurned singles ‘I Luh Ya Papi’ and ‘First Love’.

While we enjoyed the latter, it’s safe to say they didn’t blaze the charts as perhaps hoped. Could it be third time lucky for the fine, fresh, fierce stunner? We hope so. ‘Booty’ is banger and packs a punch enough to help propel it to chart glory if pushed right. The viral clip below was a great start…

It’s finally here!

After much teasing it appears pop princess Ariana Grande is finally ready to blast off via her highly anticipated visual for ‘Break Free,’ her current single.  Coming on the chart-topping heels of ‘Problem (featuring Iggy Azalea),’ the new visual makes its way to the net just a day after the pint sized powerhouse unleashed ‘Best Mistake’ –  her newest collabo with rapper Big Sean.

If you thought Miss Grande was playing any games leading up to the release of her sophomore album ‘My Everything’ (in stores August 25th), then you thought wrong.

The ripple effects of Beyonce‘s self-titled surprise album are still being felt eight months on. Indeed, beyond elevating the star’s career to even loftier levels of greatness, it appears the visual LP – which is double Platinum in the US – looks set to impact the way music is released…globally.

Positivity was the name of Remy Ma‘s game today, spread when the Rap stunner arrived at BET’s ‘106 & Park’ following her well publicised prison release.

Birthed to celebrate her return to Hip Hop and the career she enjoyed before her time inside, Ma’s appearance on the show saw her speak openly on the difficulty she had adjusting to prison life, the tough love she oft receives from her fans and jealousy and insecurity within the female Rap arena.

Over the last seven years, That Grape Juice has established itself as one of the net’s most renowned sources for Urban Pop music. Indeed, it’s become trademark for us to shine light on artists – both known and on the rise. This week sees us spotlight the latter, as we kick off the first ever Freshly Squeezed Week.

As such, we’ll be introducing a talented new name each day of this week.

Next up is…Carmen!

Writing herself into the Pop  scene with the pen that is her debut single ‘Cold‘, 21-year old Carmen first caught our attention when we came across the Next-sampled jam earlier this year. Needless to say, we’ve been hooked ever since.

Hailing from Detroit, the LA-based beauty scored her first big break when she scouted by an NYC-based modelling agency aged 13, going on to switch the catwalk for the studio years later when she finished high school and moved to California to pursue her dreams of superstardom.

Perhaps the latest newbie to have sprung from Janet Jackson’s creative womb, Carmen’s journey to the top was made that much easier this month when her humble but growing fan base rocked radio with requests to hear ‘Cold’ spun on stations across the country. The result? Spins garnered on’Top 40′ and ‘Rhythmic’ formats that we hear haven’t gone unnoticed by tastemakers and label heads alike.

Like her as much as we do?

Honesty.

It’s a rare trait in an industry dominated by press releases and PR spin. Yet, it’s a trait Rita Ora embodied during her visit to On Air With Ryan Seacrest today to promote new single ‘I Will Never Let You Down’.

For, when quizzed squarely on rumors that ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris denied her the ability to perform the song (which he produced) at last week’s Teen Choice Awards, the singer not only confirmed the story as true – she went into great detail about how he was able to.

Budding divas Fifth Harmony are gearing up to heat up the charts with their debut album ‘Reflection’.

Due in the Fall, the ladies have unwrapped the cover for the set – which is preceded by single ‘Bo$$’.

If there’s any justice in the world, Normani, Dinah, Camila, and co will serve up the title track as a single too. It’s an Urban-Pop banger.

In the here and now, though, the cover looks lush!

Mariah Carey has been maintaining a relatively low profile of late. Indeed, in the weeks and months that have passed since new album ‘Me. I Am…Mariah. The Elusive Chanteuse’ bombed on the charts, the diva has largely shunned the limelight.

However, it appears the legendary songbird hasn’t been idle with her time and is cooking up new music already.
