“Renee is a HUGE inspiration,” SZA said
Reneé Rapp 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‘s “Good Days.” Rapp was backed by a pair of soothing acoustic guitars and a harp player.
SZA later shared a clip of Rapp’s performance 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 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, which she dropped on Aug. 1. She spoke to Rolling Stone 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,” SZA reposted her and wrote, “She got her friggin mind right.”
Rapp is currently on her fall arena tour 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.
