With a striking voice and look to match, Cherri V has understandably drummed up quite the industry buzz. One which looks set to intensify, as her promotional push picks up steam.

A former member of Sony Music group Trinity Stone (with the Sugababes’ Jade Ewen), V has struck out on her own – boasting a sound which could easily see her as a fixture on charts of the Urban and Pop persuasions.

With many a live show on the horizon and a recording stint in the US forthcoming, you’ll, no doubt, be seeing and hearing a lot more from this bright new. For now,  you can and hear her soar on this, the latest episode of The Splash!

Her new mixtape, ‘Shades of Red’, is available to download by clicking here.

As previously reported, sassy Jennifer Lopez shot the video for her latest single ‘Papi’ over the weekend.

The singer, who’ll soon be lacking a papi of her own once her divorce clears, was filmed dancing in the streets as she dodged paparazzi. Definitely an interesting take on what is ultimately a club track.

Check out the footage after the jump…

One week after a snippet of Nicki Minaj’s latest collaboration with producer David Guetta was published here, the complete version of their sonic lovechild has finally made its way online.

Titled ‘Turn Me On’, the upbeat dance number sees Ms.Minaj land on Euro-Pop ground, armed with her now trademark style of singing and Guetta’s ever attention grabbing production wizardry.

The release features on the producer’ LP ‘Nothing But The Beat‘.

Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts makes a bid for solo stardom with her debut album ‘Cinderella’s Eyes’.

Before it was the name of a successful talent show, ‘The Voice’ has been and still is a certain diva’s moniker – of course we’re talking about the one and only Mariah Carey. Whether on top of the charts or not, Mariah’s status as one of the greatest power-vocalist to ever grace the face of earth has never been questioned.

Mimi’s live showing of her hit ballad ‘My All’ at 1998’s Divas Live will make the object of this week’s From The Vault.

A Lamb-favorite, this live showing showcases Mrs Carey-Canon’s then new voice: a raspier, huskier one, and although a tad less powerful than before, it boasted a compelling rawness.

By the end of the performance, the soulful songbird channels her inner Dance-diva, parading on stage to the David Morales remix of the track. A refreshing flirtation with Dance we wouldn’t mind seeing her revisit with future efforts.

Speaking of what’s to come, a degree of realism is imperative. The mother-of-two’s voice had been through a lot – from the mire and back higher. Indeed, her vocals have been the subject of many heated conversations. Yet, although we highly doubt she’ll recapture the youthful horsepower she possessed during her vocal hey-day (which is only fair), we at That Grape Juice are still rooting for ol’ Mimi and anticipate more greatness from her before the curtain call.

Your thoughts?

They may be posted at opposite ends of the musical spectrum, however Jennifer Hudson and David Guetta have joined forces.

The unlikely duo fuse Urban and Dance on ‘Night of Your Life’ – a cut lifted from the French DJ’s latest LP ‘Nothing But The Beat’.

A snippet hit the net earlier this month, however you can listen to the track in its entirety after the jump.
