That Grape Juice is pleased to announce that we will be interviewing Ciara next week. Originally set to be conducted today (I know, last minute!), our time has been re-scheduled to next week.

Have any questions for the ‘Ride’ singer? As usual, drop them in the ‘comments’ section. Please note, only legitimate questions will be considered!

Thanks!

Dance diva Kelly Rowland features on the cover of the June issue of Musicology magazine. Though a shot from the album / ‘Commander’ single packaging, there’s no doubt Ms. Kelly looks stunning!

Speaking of ‘Commander’, the ‘official’ video for the song has been confirmed to premiere on (Wednesday) June 9th. Indeed both Rowland and her camp have stated that the current video floating around is an early edit (which was illegally leaked).  As many know, music videos are subject to a number of edits / revamps – with essential input from the director, artist, and label. In any case, roll on next Wednesday.

UPDATE: More ‘Musicology’ pics after the jump…

A new Fantasia cut has surfaced in the form of ‘The Worst Part Is Over’. Set to feature on the American Idol alum’s forthcoming third album, the inspirational song was produced by Oak Fielder and penned by hitmaker Claude Kelly.

Interestingly enough I have had this song on replay for a while now after it landed anonymously in my mailbox a few months back. However, it’s not Fantasia’s version, it is another R&B diva who is a regular fixture on the site (won’t say no names). You see, there is a little  drama surrounding the song, and who it was supposed to be meant for. Scratch that….A LOT of drama. (Remember where you read this should the other version ever surface)

In any case, it appears as though Fantasia has it in the bag,which is a great look for the 25 year old, as the soaring ballad is a winner. Take a listen below…

Christina Aguilera has been absent from the music scene for almost 4 years, with her last release being 2006’s ‘Back to Basics’. Now the vocal powerhouse has returned with her new album, ‘Bionic’, equipped with new sounds, thanks to a diverse assembly of some of the industry’s most sought-after producers and songwriters. However, despite the claims by her critics that the LP represents her attempt to emulate Pop sensation Lady GaGa, the record actually showcases a wide variety of musical styles that bear little similarity to her chart counterpart. In fact, on ‘Bionic’, Aguilera finds herself imitating almost everyone except GaGa.

Check out R&B star Trey Songz shouting out your favourite site and mine.

As reported, That Grape Juice caught up with Songz here in London yesterday, prior to his sell-out show at the indig02. Be on the lookout for the…ahem… ‘interesting’ interview any day now.

Typically, we asked the questions you really wanted answers to, whether Mr Songz was pleased with that you’ll have to wait and see. Keep it locked!
