Rita Ora: Brandy Is “The Queen” & “The GOAT” [Video]

Rita Ora has never been shy about sharing her admiration of R&B icon Brandy, but she recently served a glowing reminder in case some forgot that she’s a certified, card-carrying member of the diva’s fan group (affectionately called #STARZ).

While hot on the promo trail for her new music (namely her latest single ‘All Natural‘), Ora dropped by the ‘Zach Sang Show‘ to dish about the tune and her future endeavors.

Digressing to chat about Bran (born Brandy Norwood), Rita reflected on her visit to ‘The Boy Is Mine Tour‘ and her overall reverence for the R&B diva.

“She’s the GOAT [greatest of all time],” Ora said to Sang and co-hosts. “There’s no one that can do runs and layer the vocals like her…she’s the Queen.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, Rita shared lessons she’s learned from Norwood while the two filmed Disney’s ‘Descendants‘ films and even claims she has voice notes from the Vocal Bible saved in her phone teaching her how to improve her melisma (aka “riffs and runs”).

At writing, however, there’s no word on if the two ever plan to join forces in the studio as previously teased.
