Love Each Other
“Renee is a HUGE inspiration,” SZA said
Reneé Rapp[1] knows how to let her voice loose with an R&B song. On Friday, the singer joined the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge and continued the spot’s tradition of surprise covers with a rendition of SZA[2]‘s “Good Days[3].” Rapp was backed by a pair of soothing acoustic guitars and a harp player.
SZA later shared a clip of Rapp’s performance[4] on Instagram Stories, lauding her fellow artist. “Renee is a HUGE inspiration, energy, voice spirit,” SZA wrote in the caption. Rapp also shared clips from the performance on her own Instagram[5] and from her visit to London.
During her visit with the Live Lounge, Rapp also performed a rendition of “I Think I Like You Better When You’re Gone” from her album Bite Me,[6] which she dropped on Aug. 1. She spoke to Rolling Stone[7] about making the record over the summer.
“I make music for myself, but I don’t put out music for myself,” she said at the time. “I don’t promote things for myself. If I was just going to do [it all] for myself, I wouldn’t put shit out in the first place. I’d have a different career.”
Rapp and SZA have shared sweet moments in the past. When Rapp said in an interview that people who don’t like Beyoncé “have no taste[8],” SZA reposted her and wrote, “She got her friggin mind right.”
Rapp is currently on her fall arena tour[9] celebrating the album, and is scheduled to perform a show Friday night in Los Angeles, before shows in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina through the end of October.
