Ciara is back and blazing in the video for her brand new single ‘Jump.’

The high-octane cut, which features Hip-Hop collective Coast Contra, has been paired with an equally energetic music video – directed by the great Dave Myers.

Heading into this album cycle, CiCi made clear that she’s on a mission to make the world move and she certainly delivers on her mandate with this dance-driven visual.

Boasting a whopping 14 looks, the video sees the 36-year-old stage blazer live up to her billing. Indeed, almost every frame is an action-packed choreography-fest.

Readers of That Grape Juice know how passionate we are about music – whether that be past or present.

However, unlike our other segments – Retro Rewind, TGJ Replay, and From The Vault – The Pop Stop is the most in-depth look at Pop songs that may have flown under the radar over the last week that you should know, rather they be from music’s biggest stars or those on the rise.

This week, we want to highlight cuts from The 1975, Keith Urban, Arden Jones, and Garrett Nash.

Macy Gray, who is hot on the promo trail in support of her August 10-due studio album ‘The Reset,’ has experienced a reset of sorts herself after landing in hot water for controversial comments she made about gender identity.

Statements perceived by many as ‘transphobic,’ Gray braved quite the backlash earlier this week after she took to ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored’ to say she believes that “just because you go change your parts, doesn’t make you a woman.”

Later defending her words as taken out of context and ‘grossly misunderstood,’ Macy moseyed to ‘The Today Show’ Thursday (July 7) to double down on her true intention and reaffirm her support for the LGBTQ+ community.

Three years after leaving her mark on R&B charts with her seventh studio album ‘Beauty Marks,’ our girl Ciara is ready to jump back to the top of charts with her new single, ‘Jump.’

Chris Brown fans, affectionately called #TeamBreezy, who felt his last studio effort didn’t give them enough content will be pleased to know he’s expanded the set to include 9 more songs.

Just a week after his 10th studio album ‘Breezy’ landed in the top 5 of the Billboard 200 (as we reported here), Brown is hoping to take the joint to higher chart heights with the unveiling of its deluxe edition.

Upping its total track count to 33, the already star-studded opus – which featured appearances from the likes of Ella Mai, H.E.R., Jack Harlow, WizKid, Lil Wayne, and more – is now packed with even more features including Anderson .Paak (‘Inner Peace’), Davido (‘Nobody Has To Know’), and more.

Having already expressed displeasure at the commercial performance of the original version of ‘Breezy,’ here’s hoping the deluxe version helps render numbers he’ll be prouder of.  Stream it inside courtesy of Apple Music and Spotify.
