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 Avril Lavigne, Mitski, NOTD, and Townsend.

After all these days, it’s finally here.

For, Taylor Swift has shared the video for her fan and critic favorite song ‘All Too Well.’

The video stars ‘Stranger Things’ actress Sadie Sink and ‘Teen Wolf’ actor Dylan O’Brien. In it, the clip features some of the key things the song references, such as: “autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place” and the scarf that now lives in infamy among #Swifties.

‘All Too Well’ appears on Swift’s most recent release, the re-recorded of her 2012 album, ‘RED.’ Having been rebranded as ‘RED (Taylor’s Version),’ the set features some new tunes and collaborations.

Ample excitement surrounds the release of Disney‘s new animated adventure, ‘Encanto.’ And with good reason.

The eagerly anticipated film tells the tale of a young Colombian girl named Mirabel (played by Stephanie Beatriz).

Unlike her loved ones, she is the only member of her family who doesn’t possess magical powers – a fact that frustrates her in earnest.

However, in a unique turn of events, Mirabel may be the only one able to help when their magic comes under threat.

Beyond performances from the cast, music is at the heart of ‘Encanto’ thanks to world-renowned star Lin-Manuel Miranda – who crafted the film’s resonating soundtrack.

Ahead of the movie’s theatrical release on November 24, That Grape Juice‘s Chet Kincaid sat down with Miranda, lead Beatriz, and Diane Guerrero – who all dished on the importance of ‘Encanto’ and the magic of its music.

Check out the EXCLUSIVE interview above.
