Happy Christmas to all our That Grape Juice readers. We hope the holidays are treating you oh so well.

In embracing the the festive spirit, our From The Vault pick this week is Destiny’s Child‘s ‘8 Days Of Christmas’.

Released as the first single of their holiday album of the same name, the cut – which was released in Winter 2001) is a fan favourite and a R&B classic.

The track amazingly blends traditional hooks (the core of the song is an interpolation of the carol ‘Twelve Days Of Christmas’) and modern Urban beats. It also doesn’t hurt that their world-renown 3-part harmonies are on full display – showcased at its most stellar with the choir-like breakdown.

The accompanying video sees the three diva’s dressed in sexy Santa outfits, parading around a Christmas-themed toy store, complete with a carousel and all. All very standard-festive-fare. Yet, we love it all the same.

So, as you stuff your belly with all that fierce food, hit ‘PLAY’ and let DC3 take you back!

Merry Christmas!

Myself (Sam), and all of us here at That Grape Juice, take this opportunity to wish you all very Merry Christmas and a fruitful New Year.

The last 12 months have particularly great months for That Grape Juice, yet none of that would have been possible without all of YOUR support. And for that, we are so very thankful.

So here’s hoping you eat, drink, and be merry with your nearest and dearest.

Merry Christmas!

 

With the X Factor finally over, many a contestant are on their 14th minute of fame. However, one act we’ll sure be seeing more of is a certain Misha B.

A sure-fire shoo-in for the final, the 19 year old’s dreams were dashed when tactical judging turned her into one of the show’s most controversial acts.

Yet, while the party responsible for that likely won’t be relevant in a year down the line, Misha continues to prove herself worthy of the attention heaped on her since exiting the ITV show (4th place). Attention which reportedly includes a label bidding war; and attention which could see her pocket a contract worth more than actual the winning act.

Wonder what the hype’s about? Well, our friends over at SBTV snagged Misha for a festive acoustic session. Watch Ms. B soar with ‘Silent Night’ after the jump…

Japanese shoppers got a little more they had bargained for recently when ‘Black Jesus‘ songbird Lady GaGa stopped by to do a spot of shopping.

Accompanied by a team of minders, the performer was spotted at  the  Ginza district’s Matsuzakaya department store, reportedly splashing out  at Louis Vuitton before making her way to Narita airport hours ago to catch a flight back to her home town of New York City in time for Christmas.

Having exploded onto the scene in the early 00’s, Ashanti‘s “star” status boasted a “super” prefix. Indeed, under the Murder INC umbrella, the sultry stunner served up hit after undeniable hit – leading many to believe she was R&B’s head female force. And for a time, she was.

However, a plethora of problems would then plague her positioning; from the fall of her fellow INC cohorts, to legal and label drama. And, of course, there’s hurricane Beyonce.

Now, almost 4 years after her last try, Ms. Douglas is back – and with a difference. Ditching the politics and overheads of a major label, the 30 year old has gone the independent route for her new album, which is ushered in by lead single The Woman You Love’. How will she fare this go round?

Hit ‘PLAY’ to watch us assess Ashanti’s comeback.
