Lady Gaga has become one Pop’s most notable polarizers in recent years – and adds to that narrative with new album ‘Joanne.’

A marked departure from her dancefloor dominant sound of yesteryear, the singer has swapped her EDM rootings for a stripped back, raw offering.

Similarly, her image has experienced an overhaul; the meat dresses are in the freezer and in its place is an aesthetic that is almost…normal.

The switch-up has delighted some, yet worried others used to consuming their “Gaga” with a generous helping of electric eccentricity.

Together with ‘Joanne’s lack of major hit, it naturally has many wondering how this all will impact the commercial performance of the project.

The biggest indicator arrived moments ago in the form of sales predictions for the set.

Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to take our readers on an exciting and informative journey to the past.

Today, after fans of the singer Michel’le tuned in in their millions to learn of the abuse she is said to have suffered at the hands of Dr. Dre via her Lifetime biopic, we return to 1993 to shed fresh light on ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It? (The Tina Turner Story).’

In it, viewers are taken beyond and behind the velvet rope to witness the life Tina Turner lived away from the spotlight.

A life, unbeknownst to the world at the time, was filled to the brim with cruel and sadistic abuse dished out to her by her husband Ike Turner.

Directed by Brian Gibson the movie saw Angela Bassett portray Turner and Lawrence Fishbourne take on Ike who pulled from the singer’s book ‘I, Tina’ to tell her story.

In the United States, the release earned over $40 million at the box office and additional $20 million from movie rental services as it generated £10 million in the United Kingdom despite coming under criticism for fabricating incidents that did not actually occur in real life.

One of these was the now infamous “Eat the Cake Anna Mae” scene in which the abusive Ike forces Tina’s face into a cake.

In reality, according to the star’s book, he forced her to eat the cake (sans slamming her face into it) after it was served to her by a waitress despite the fact that she did not order it.

Azealia Banks former business partner RZA has stepped out to share his side of her Russell Crowe-fronted story.

Banks accused him of doing nothing after Crowe is said to have picked her up, spat at her and called her the N-word.

Quite interestingly, despite blasting Banks behaviour, much of RZA’s position falls in line with Banks….much to Crowe’s horror.

The ‘B’ in actor Michael B. Jordan’s name will now affectionately be deemed ‘booked.’

For the past three years, the 29-year-old actor has become the Hollywood ‘it boy,’ starring in ‘Fruitvale Station’, ‘Fantastic Four,’ and ‘Creed.’ However, after nabbing a role in Marvel’s highly-anticipated ‘Black Panther’ film, Jordan has been flying under the radar in preparation for his villainous role.

Though reclusive from the spotlight, he’s been making some substantial noise behind the scenes; waves that’ll be quite pleasing for fans of the small screen.

Having heard Lady Gaga‘s new album, ‘Joanne,’ we can think of a million reasons (all pun intended) why you should buy it.

A collection of masterfully crafted tunes that sees Gaga finally press pause on the gimmicks and shine a much-deserved spotlight on her oft-praised (and envied) vocals, the songbird takes flight on many of the “stripped” numbers that line this, her fifth album.  Granted, we’re real enough to say the set may disappoint fans expecting a “return to form” of sorts of the ‘Poker Face’ performer who once filled her albums with party-starting dance tracks and thunderous bass-buoyed bops (evidence of this can be found on the project’s official releases to date – ‘A-Yo,’ ‘Million Reasons,’ and, of course, ‘Perfect Illusion’).  However, instead of alienating fans of the original Mother Monster, ‘Joanne’ goes left and simply invites listeners in on yet another peek at her artistic maturity – a rollercoaster of a listen that features highs like ‘Come To Mama,’ ‘Diamond Heart,’ and the Florence Welch-assisted ‘Hey Girl.’

But, if you are the type that isn’t really easily convinced, let That Grape Juice help you out by gifting you a free copy of the highly anticipated project.  All you have to do is…
