Leslie Odom Jr And Nicolette Robinson SMASH Stay By Rihanna

The youtube video description says “Leslie Odom, Jr. (Red Tails, House of Lies, Supernatural, SMASH, Grey’s Anatomy, CSI: Miami) and Nicolette Robinson (Perfect Couples, Cold Case, Unforgettable) cover Rihanna’s “Stay.”

But this doesn’t even prepare you for what this dynamic couple serves you in this cover video. The happily married couple just happened to be enjoying each others company and decided to press record as they sang Stay by Rihanna featuring Mikky Ekko. Their voices blend so well together you can actually hear the love. This is real and raw talent. We are hoping this sparks a fire for them to do a duet album together.

What do you guys think???

Drew Shade is a visionary creative force at the intersection of Black theatre, media, and culture. As the Founder and Creative Director of Broadway Black, Off-Book: The Podcast, and The Antonyo Awards, he champions artistic excellence and amplifies the voices of Black theatre artists with intention, heart, and unapologetic pride. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Playbill, Deadline, The Observer, and Apple TV’s Dear…, and he's collaborated with brands and institutions such as NBC, BET, Audible, Universal Pictures, SheaMoisture, The Public Theater, Signature Theatre, National Black Theatre, and more. He has also served as a cultural consultant and curator for countless Broadway productions for over a decade — establishing himself as a trusted voice and tastemaker in theatre and media. In addition to his work behind the scenes, Shade is a performer and creative artist in his own right, with credits including Classical Theatre of Harlem’s The First Noel at The Apollo, The Preacher’s Wife musical at The Alliance Theatre, and a Sondheim tribute concert at Carnegie Hall led by Tituss Burgess. He’s also lent his voice to campaigns for Google and continues to explore visual storytelling through photography — from red carpets to press coverage. Rooted in joy, justice, and the belief that Black theatre is both legacy and revolution, Shade continues to build platforms and shine light where it’s long been overdue — so Black artists are seen, heard, and celebrated on their own terms. “Have a belief in yourself that is bigger than anyone’s disbelief.” – August Wilson
