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 Zara Larsson, Carrie Underwood, Florence + the Machine, The Chainsmokers, Sigrid, ARO, and Ofenbach.

Ed Sheeran continues his promotional streak.

For, the GRAMMY-winner has just unleashed his collaboration with Lil Baby called ‘2Step.’ Moreover, he has now shared the video for the song as well.

The clip was filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine last year before the war broke out with Russia. In the music video, people can be seen dancing in the street with Sheeran in the center of all of them.

‘2Step’ is the fifth single from Sheeran’s most recent album, ‘= (Equals).’ It follows the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hits ‘Shivers’ and ‘Bad Habits’ as well as the top 30 hit ‘The Joker and The Queen’ with Taylor Swift, and finally, the top 50 hit ‘Overpass Graffiti .’

After much anticipation, it has finally arrived.

Pusha T has finally let his ‘It’s Almost Dry’ album into the world. The release of the project comes just mere days after the music superstar announced the album.

‘It’s Almost Dry’ features some of the biggest names in music, especially in hip-hop. Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, and many more all grace the guest list.

Notably, the project contains the final collaboration between Kid Cudi and West after Cudi shared that he would not be working with Ye in the future (as we reported here).

Previewed at Meg’s inaugural Coachella performance last weekend, now her beloved fans – affectionately called #Hotties – can hear the sizzling tune in full.

Cupcakke is back with new music.

Case in point, she has just unleashed her remix to Nicki Minaj and Fivio Foreign‘s collaboration ‘We Go Up.’

Across the tune, she raps about running the game and how far she has come since the start of her career.

“Went from a shampoo girl / Now washin’ these hoes / That’s one hell of a glow up (You know) / Let me go to the gym and just get my head straight / Stomp a b**ch out when I skip leg day.”

Her remix to ‘We Go Up’ is the second song she has released this year. She previously teamed up with Tay Money and ShantiiP for their collaboration, ‘PTPOM (Shemix).’

‘Take It To the House’ hitmaker Trick Daddy has taken to TMZ to set the record straight on his thoughts about Beyoncé.

As we reported last year, the 47-year-old sent the diva’s fans – affectionately called the #Beyhive – swarming after he said she doesn’t ‘write her own songs’ and ‘can barely sing.’

Just last week, he doubled down on the notion by asserting her vocal ability paled in comparison to the likes of Whitney Houston, Stephanie Mills, Adele, and Jennifer Hudson.

With the reiteration causing his once-cooled backlash to reheat, Daddy – hot on the promo trail in support of his FOX SOUL cooking show ‘B*tch I Got My Pots’ – is stirring up the pot with a direct address to some of Bey’s fans.
