R&B crooner Ne-Yo is hot on the promo trail for his latest release ‘R.E.D.’ and its top 10 single ‘Let Me Love You’.
Tonight saw ‘The Voice’ get a visit from the ‘Do You’ divo and accompaniment from one of its top contestants Amanda Brown. How did the duo fare? You tell us after the jump:
As previously reported by our sisters over at SheIsDiva, ‘Girl On Fire’ hitmaker Alicia Keys can be spotted afront Essence magazine’s January 2013 issue. Rocking a form fitting red number, the smoking hot mom-of-one’s Essence issue can be found on stands December 7th.
Before then, get into the behind the scenes action (and finished products) of the feature photo shoot:
Fresh from hitting #2 with ‘Something New’, British belles Girls Aloud are rolling right on to new single ‘Beautiful ‘Cause You Love Me’.
One of the four new cuts recorded for the group’s retrospective set ‘Ten’, the ballad sees lead singer Nadine Coyle pass the baton on to fellow member Nicola Roberts who assumes most of the vocal duties on the cut. And though a worrying prospect on paper (given that Nadine is the group’s vocal glue), the track itself isn’t the horror one might expect from an evenly-shared Girls Aloud vocal.

Have you ever had an album on repeat for years? If so, you and all of us here at That Grape Juice have something in common. For, Fantasia‘s third album ‘Back To Me’ has been in rotation since she blessed the charts with it back in 2010.

As one of the year’s biggest releases, all eyes are naturally on the commercial performance of Alicia Keys‘ fifth studio album ‘Girl On Fire’.
Backed by a gargantuan promotional campaign, the set has seen its title track hit the top ten of Singles tallies all over the globe.
Was that enough, though, to ensure the album deliver blockbuster first week US sales in the vein of her previous four releases? The answer awaits after the jump…
It’s been a minute, but ‘Radio’ siren Beyonce is finally making her long awaited chart return.
Now, before the release of her fifth studio album, her long time collaborator has opened up the release… teasing its material via Billboard.

If the viewing figures of ‘Styled To Rock‘ were anything to go by, Rihanna should be anywhere but behind the camera.
However, it seems the folk over at River Island were oblivious to this fact when they enlisted the star to direct their Spring/Summer campaign recently, as seen above.
Sharing the snap online, the one time Beyonce wannabe tweeted:
My bitches so Bvalgari… Just directed my first ad campaign for my new collection with River Island, Spring instagr.am/p/SzVkYwhMxq/

Despite sending shockwaves through the industry post announcing her “retirement”, soulstress Jazmine Sullivan still found her name etched as a feature on some unfortunately overlooked gems. PJ Morton‘s debut single ‘Built For Love’ was certainly one of those gems. A throwback to a time when real music dominated charts, the ‘Lions Tigers & Bears’ beauty unleashed her melismatic roar over the Morton tune about love on the rocks.
Morton, son of famed gospel singer Bishop Paul Morton, tickles the ivories while the two soar over the 70s-inspired duet. The song was released shortly before it was announced that the crooner had signed with Young Money entertainment

It’s common-knowledge that Ciara’s last studio outing ‘Basic Instinct’ was pretty much a disaster – so much so that she told us she wished it didn’t come out.
However, the project’s poor handling doesn’t mean it didn’t birth some of her best material yet. Case, point ‘Shut Em Up’.
Ironically not featured on the 2010 album’s final tracklist, the cut was one of the many songs leaked and left on the cutting room floor. “Why” is beyond us, as the track was banging!
Produced by Infinity and penned by Soundz, ‘Shut Em Up’ served as an emphatic bite back at all of her critics – doing so over a bouncy beat that thankfully sounded more club-geared, than Pop-star political.
More than anything, the track excels in that anyone can apply the lyrics to their own reality. Too often, those that “can’t” vent by slamming those that “can”. This song tastefully tells them what they can do. {SAM}
Before signing onto serve as Roc Nation’s leading newbie, Rita Ora‘s claim to fame came courtesy of ‘What’s Your Flava’ maestro Craig David.
However, while 2008’s ‘Where’s Your Love’ stands as their most recognizable outing, it’s their 2007 duet that ‘Awkward’ that will undoubtedly surprise any unfamiliar with it. Surprising somewhat is that this is Ora’s voice at just 17 years old, boasting a conviction that some of her older contemporaries are still yet to master. Enjoy below {DAVID}

December 4th marks the day pop starlet Ke$ha brings her sophomore album ‘Warrior’ to battle for Billboard’s top spot.
Indeed, to say the ‘Die Young’ diva has already made a killing afront Billboard’s Hot 100 would be an understatement as the album’s lead single has been a mainstay aboard the ranking’s upper half for most of its chart life. However, like many her contemporary, the singer’s success on the singles front has come at an inverse of her album’s sales performance.
Barely shipping platinum over two years since its debut, Ke$ha’s introductory set ‘Animal’ saw its singles take big bites out of history books while its parent album barely made a bark. So tell us: Are you willing to help its successor sing a different tune?
* Thinking Of You
* Die Young
* Supernatural
* Dirty Love (ft. Iggy Pop)
* All That Matters
* Only Wanna Dance With You
Conclusion: ‘Warrior’ has a clear agenda to mature a sound and artist many assumed was “seasonal” – and manages to achieve this to a satisfying degree.
Still, Ke$ha excels most when being unapologetically Ke$ha. Rebellious, edgy, and dripping with jaw-dropping metaphors.
