Welcome to the latest TGJ Roundtable!

Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!

Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes” about the hottest topics.

Now, we give you a front row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ or ‘The Real’, TGJ editors – Sam, David, Rashad, and Joe – get real in a very candid way.

Today’s roundtable topic is the…

TLC made headlines last year when surviving members T-Boz and Chilli launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund their fifth and final album.

Rather than be ridiculed, the group received support from fans – some even of the celebrity persuasion. Indeed, Katy Perry made a much publisized donation of $5,000.

In the time since, news surrounding the project has been noticeably scarce.

However, the ladies haven’t been twiddling their thumbs idly; they’ve been recording.

And now it appears that they’re gearing up to release new material.

Moments ago, Apple Music snippets of two tracks – ‘Joy Ride’ and ‘Haters’ – surfaced.

Are TLC bringing the heat for their final hurrah? Listen below and let us know…

Little Mix sent their millions of Mixers into a frenzy over the weekend when they announced their new single ‘Shout Out To My Ex.’

Perhaps in a bid to pique interest, little has been divulged about the track beyond the fact that it’ll debut synchronously with their performance on The X Factor UK this Sunday.

Still, a tiny teaser won’t spoil the fun.

And that’s exactly what Jade, Jesy, Perrie, and Leigh-Anne have served up.

Want to know what the lead release from the quad’s fourth album is set to sound like? Listen to an official preview after the jump…
