#MusicMonday- Mya.

Just last week I was talking to a few people about how great music was in the 90's/00's and wondering what one of my fav singers, Mya, has been up to. I swear it's like as soon I spoke about her, she graced us with her presence via Youtube!

Mya is celebrating 16 years in the game and, as part of a 'Sole Sessions' series on ThatGrapeJuice.net, she sang acoustic versions of some of her 90's jams ("Moving On" and "Best of Me") and even a new track, "Super Woman". The new song comes from her recent and appropriately titled EP, Sweet XVI.

The singer also sat down for an interview saying, "I feel like I'lm just starting. I have so much that I want to bring to this next phase of my life." I hope the "net phase" includes a new album *insert emoji eyes* and I also hope it includes more acoustic songs, because I love this sound!

I wasn't quite sure which video to include to this post so I added two. Check out the greatness that is Mya below!

#MusicMonday- Ariana Grande.

This past weekend Miss Ariana Grande released a visual for her new song, "Problem". The song features a verse from our favorite Australian bombshell, Iggy Iggs and interestingly enough, some added whispers from rapper Big Sean. According to E! Online, "Problem" (which was released back in April) was already sitting at the No. 2 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 this weekend, so why not drop the visual too?

In the video the Sam and Cat star gives us 1960's realness with her dance moves, white boots, and big hair via Iggy. Grande even spins on a  circular platform all while effortlessly telling her ex boo she's got one less problem without him. 

While I'm still trying to figure out why Big Sean is whispering on the track, you can check it out below.

#MusicMonday- Katy Perry.

In today's 'LOL' news, Katy Perry released her latest music video to "Birthday", the fourth single from her album PRISM. The Dark Horse singer took a page out of the book of Eddie Murphy and went undercover as five different party entertainers. We see everything from car crashes to good old fashioned lap dances in the video (no one was injured during Perry's shenanigans, btw)! I must admit that I chuckled a little too hard in her scenes as "Ace the Animal Trainer". Those poor kids didn't know what to do!

If there was a TV show like this video, I'd definitely watch it! I'd also nominate Miss Perry to have some kind of involvement with the show because she nailed these characters. By the end of the video I guarentee you will either be singing or dancing to the song. The beat itself makes you forget what she's singing about because it's so carefree and fun.

Check out Katy's hilariously funny video below!

#MusicMonday- Mila J.

Guess who’s back like she never left? That’s right, Miss Mila J.

Mila started her career in a girl group with her other sister, Miyoko and  is also the older sister to songstress Jhene Aiko (yes, the Chilombo family is a talented bunch). Hopefully you remember her song from a few years ago called “Good Lookin Out” ft. Marques Houston. Unfortunately, her album got shelved and after rebranding herself as her real name, Japollonia, then back to Mila J, she brings us new music.

Last Friday, Mila released the visual to her new single "Smoke Drink Breakup" from her upcoming album M.I.L.A. (Made In Los Angeles)  and I have to agree with many blogs on the fact that she’s giving us a late 90’s/early 00’s R&B vibe. Ya’ll already know that I’m here for all of that!

Mila even got “Paranoid” singer Ty Dolla $ign to be her leading man in the video. Catch Mila’s visual to “Smoke Drink Breakup” below!
