Few artists are as revered and respected as R&B icon Maxwell.

As such, we were elated to catch up with the crooner at the BET American Black Film Festival Honors in Los Angeles this week.

In attendance to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the movie ‘Love Jones’ (the soundtrack for which housed his song ‘Sumthin’ Sumthin’), the singer stopped to chat EXCLUSIVELY with That Grape Juice; dishing on the film and its significance and and his upcoming new album.

The latter will serve as the final instalment of his ‘BLACKsummer’snight’ trilogy.

Last year brought with it the second part, which arrived after a seven year hiatus.

This go round, Maxwell says he won’t be leaving his fans waiting as long. Watch his chat with TGJ’s Ques above to find out why.

After a slightly longer than anticipated spell off-air, the ‘Real Housewives Of Potomac’ are officially back!

Received well in its first season, RHOP’s sophomore run sees Gizelle, Karen, and all but one of the original Housewives return, with newcomer Monique Samuels joining the mix.

Grammy nominated R&B songbird Keyshia Cole is undoubtedly at a crossroad in her career.

A celebrated songstress often branded “this generation’s Mary J. Blige” for her soulful tales of love gone wrong and undeviating appeals to the heartbroken, Cole once held a unique place among her rhythmic contemporaries as her releases – even in the genre’s initial decline – consistently topped charts and defied sales odds.

Yet, as R&B began to succumb to the wiles of fusions (see: trap, pop, etc.), it appeared to threaten the holds of even its heaviest hitmakers, Cole included.  By the time her 2014 release, the critically polarizing ‘Point of No Return,’ hit the shelves, some fans feared she’d reach just that.

Determined to prove the naysayers wrong, Keyshia is back – and as she tells That Grape Juice – better than ever.  Tuck in below to read what she shared exclusively with TGJ about her return to music, reality TV, and even plans to venture into movies:
