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 J Balvin, Pia Mia, Addison Rae, and FINNEAS.
Join us inside…

Kylie Minogue has unlocked the video for her brand new single ‘My Oh My.’
The Pop legend teams with Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo on the dancefloor cut, which serves as her first leading release of the year.
‘My Oh My’ struts onto airwaves on the heels of the momentum of Minogue’s ‘Tension’ album era, which birthed her GRAMMY Award-winning smash ‘Padam Padam.’
Lighting a fresh match under the track, the diva has unlocked the video for the catchy cut.

Jade Thirlwall is proving to be the gift that keeps giving as she continues the rollout of her debut solo single, ‘Angel of My Dreams.’
Already a top 10 hit, the Little Mix star is pressing on with the push for the track and has today unwrapped the ‘S.A.D. Version’ of the high-octane track.
An acronym for ‘Slow. Angelic. Dramatic,’ the re-worked version of the dancefloor jam places Thirlwall’s powerful vocals front and center.
The singer has paired the track with an all-new visual too.

With his first new album (‘The Force‘) in over a decade loading, Hip Hop legend LL Cool J is giving amped music lovers yet another reason to keep their eyes peeled for the September 6-due set by dropping a new single from its tracklist: ‘Proclivities.’
Featuring GRAMMY-nominated femcee Saweetie, the Q-Tip-produced bop sees the two rappers exchange verses about how they can make the bedroom boom.
“‘Proclivities’ is a fun song about the inner secrets we all have,” LL said. “It’s one of my favorites on the album.”

After soaring to his highest solo mark yet (as a song leader) on the Hot 100 with the Lana Del Rey-assisted ‘Tough,’ rapper Quavo is hoping to fly even higher on the hitlist with the Lenny Kravitz-assisted ‘Fly.’
Produced by Watt & Cirkut, the new tune comes as an updated take on Lenny’s 1998 smash ‘Fly Away.’
“Flyest in the room, who Flyer than you? / Flyest in the room, you just past the moon?,” the Head Huncho spits ahead of fresh vocals from the 4x GRAMMY-winning Rock legend.

Just a year after storming digital shelves with her latest body of work, the ‘CiCi‘ EP, Ciara is already looking to run back to music lovers’ playlists with a new song: the anthemic ‘Run It Up.’
Announced earlier this week, ‘Run’ was produced by JR Rotem – the mastermind behind her megahit single ‘Level Up.’
“No matter how many points I put up on the board / Just believe me, you know they gon’ hate / I’m in a league of my own, I’m a wife and a mom I go pick up my kids in a Wraith,” she croons on the new cut.

Stars like Cardi B, Flo Milli, Hunxho, and more may have aligned for Latto‘s new album, ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea,’ but two of the set’s most anticipated numbers certainly courtesy of guest appearances from GRAMMY winners Ciara and Megan Thee Stallion.
No stranger to riding beats with Stallion as the two previously collaborated on the hit singles ‘Sunday Service‘ and ‘Budget,’ now the femcees have reunited for the fiery ‘Squeeze.’
“Watch me make it squeeze / Tropical and fruity / Bless you like a sneeze / I can make it juicy / Watch me make it squeeze / Walk up in the function,” Latto spits over The Stereotypes-blessed beat.
Elsewhere, the rapstress (born Alyssa Stephens) joined forces with her fellow hometown girl – Atlanta’s own CiCi – for the dancefloor-ready ‘Good 2 You‘ produced by Pooh Beatz and Go Grizzly.

Yet, the LP’s tracklist – loaded with stars like Anderson. Paak, Ty Dolla $ign, YG Marley, and others – sent buzz for the project into overdrive, especially once music lovers got confirmation the R&B diva was set to reunite with her singer-actress sister Halle Bailey.
Ample teasing for the reunion – their first joint recorded effort since 2020’s ‘Ungodly Hour‘ – came to fruition via the ‘Paradise’ song ‘Want Me,’ a slow-burning track about unrequited love.
“Why is it the ones wе don’t want that want us? / Why is it the ones that we lovе and we trust, they just get up and leave? / Why is it the ones we don’t want that want us? / The harder I want you, the less you don’t want me,” Chloe croons on the Bongo & Subrosa-produced song.

Two years after soaring to her highest Billboard 200 height yet with her sophomore album ‘777,’ rapper Latto quenches the new music thirst of her dedicated fans (affectionately called #Lucky7s) with its follow-up: ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea.’
A star-studded affair lined with contributions from Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, Ciara, Flo Milli, Coco Jones, Hunxho, and more, the 21-track effort is led to chart battle by hit singles ‘Sunday Service,’ ‘Put It On Da Floor,’ and ‘Big Mama.’
