Rihanna is lending her voice to… “The Voice.”
The international pop star will serve as key advisor to all four coaches on the upcoming ninth season of the NBC singing competition series, NBC exec Bob Greenblatt announced on Thursday morning at the Television Critics’ Assocation press tour in Beverly Hills.
Coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Pharrell and Gwen Stefani will all have Riri’s guidance at their disposal this season, besides their own team advisors.
It was previously announced Brad Paisley would serve as a mentor to Team Blake, and classic rocker John Fogerty would advise Team Adam. The mentors for Team Gwen and Team Pharrell have yet to be released.
It’s not the first time the show has called on a superstar to assist all four teams – past key advisors include Chris Martin, Taylor Swift and Nate Ruess.
Season 9 of “The Voice” debuts September 21 on NBC.
