Queens sort of speaks to the resurgence of all things '90s. I love that we're kind of rewriting history in that way and placing ourselves in the '90s as a legendary hip-hop group that never was in the '90s. The closest would be Salt-N-Pepa, but never like four women where it's a group-group. What I love about our group is that there has never been a hip-hop girls group. The group comes from this bond and chemistry and they make this great music together and every single one of them has different personalities. I think because you get so many different types of people. What do you think it is about girl groups that make them so popular? I'm just so blown away by these women and they really helped me step my game up, and I love being around a cast that makes you shine even brighter. It's what makes the 18 hour days not bad, because we're around people that we love and admire. I think that's what makes coming to work so much fun. Our bond and our energy together, we lift each other up. What's it like working with the likes of Eve, Naturi and Nadine? Reading the script, I was like, this is different. I went through so many different emotions. When I read this script, it was a page-turner. And then I got to know the characters and how layered these women are, I was just blown away. So when I learned this was a musical about rappers and I got a chance to sing on the show, dance and act all at the same time! I mean, it's such a dream! Also a dream cast.

With her sitcom Moesha being added to Netflix and the 1997 live-action TV film Cinderella streaming on Disney+, Brandy is having her own '90s resurgence: 'It's just great that a new generation gets to feel the magic.' 'I think seeing four Black women on television leading a show, it's a beautiful thing,' Norwood says. It's like a real group.' But fundamentally the show serves as a statement for something that is desperately lacking on television: diversity. Eve, Naturi Naughton and Nadine Velazquez fill out the rest of the cast: 'Our bond and our energy together, we lift each other up. The show follows a fictional hip-hop girl group getting back together in modern-day to rekindle the magic. 'If you're not from the '90s, you want to either be from the '90s, or you wish you could have witnessed a lot of the things,' she says.
