While appearing on The Tamron Hall Show earlier this month, the “Like This” singer spoke about the impact Summer had on her life and music.

“Can we just talk about the fact that this woman single-handedly breathed life into disco?,” Rowland explained. “I feel like the world knows that and I feel like her daughter Brooklyn, like, definitely talked about it in her [HBO] documentary, Love to Love You which is out right now. It’s just a sweet love letter to her.”

Hall then interjected, “If this woman doesn’t play Donna Summer in a biopic and win an Oscar…”

Rowland then spoke on the similarities she shares with Summer.

“Every detail matters. I feel like my DC [Destiny’s Child] days taught me that,” she said. “So when it came to the lighting and the expression and the writing, like I learned so much from Bey and Michelle and just what I’ve gained on my own, I feel like a lot of her story [Donna Summer] and my story kind of line up in strange ways. It’s kind of wild.”
