Rebecca Black sings onstage.

Ironically, neither of Rebecca Black’s upcoming 2023 concerts are taking place on a Friday.

The pop singer is slated to perform at Vancouver’s Fortune Sound Club on Thursday, July 20 and Portland, OR’s Hawthorne Theatre on Saturday, July 22 as part of her ongoing ‘Let Her Burn Tour.’

And if you wanna “get down” with Black and special guest Devon Again, it isn’t too late to scoop up last-minute tickets to see them on their brief Pacific Northwest run.

Prices start at $97 USD before fees on Vivid Seats for the Vancouver gig.

Her Portland show is much cheaper —  $18 tickets will get you in the door at the Hawthorne Theatre.

At both shows, expect to hear cuts from Black’s 2023 album “Let Her Burn.”

According to Black , her goal is to “push boundaries and live outside of what someone would think pop would be.”

If you want to see exactly what that means, you can pick up tickets for both shows here .

All prices are subject to fluctuation.

Rebecca Black new music

In February, Black released her debut album.

NME hailed the record, claiming Black “redefined herself to be a budding pop distributor for the foreseen future.”

For our money, there’s quite a bit to like here.

Black shows off her range over ten polished pop songs — this is no joke.

If you want to listen for yourself, you can find “Let It Burn” here .

Rebecca Black set list

For a closer look at what to expect, here’s what Black played at a recent show courtesy of Set List FM :

01.) “Crumbs” 02.) “What Am I Gonna Do with You” 03.) “Misery Loves Company” 04.) “Read My Mind” 05.) “Destroy Me” 06.) “Sick to My Stomach” 07.) “Personal” 08.) “A Thousand Miles” (Vanessa Carlton cover) 09.) “Worth It for the Feeling” 10.) “Doe Eyed” 11.) “Better in My Memory” 12.) “NGL” 13.) “Erase You” 14.) “Cry Hard Enough” 15.) “Look at You” 16.) “Performer” Encore:

17.) “Friday” (Remix) 18.) “Girlfriend”

Rebecca Black special guest

At both shows, Black will be joined by Devon Again.

The 21-year-old singer-songwriter is known for her dreamy pop bops — we currently can’t get enough of the ultra-catchy “HEAD,” “Burn Down” and “gum v 9.1.”

You can dig deeper into her catalog here .

Although Black has just two shows remaining on her schedule, many artists have quite a few gigs lined up the rest of this year.

Rebecca Black: ruining Fridays for everyone since March 14, 2011. Quite possibly the most mocked artist in the 21st century, if not ever. She burst onto the scene with her 'hit' single 'Friday' alongside a music video that reached over 70 and a half million views on youtube, only the second highest 'disliked' video on youtube, coming only second to Justin Bieber's single: 'baby'. At only 13 when she wrote it, Rebecca Black didn't know what lay infront of her after the music video became an overnight sensation.

Since the growth of the song however there has been numerous remixes and parodies, however Rebecca Black's 'masterpiece' still remains second on NME's '50 worst music videos ever' and was described as "the equivalent of repeatedly getting bitten on the ankles".

Music + concerts, music + concerts | 11 years after viral hit ‘friday,’ singer rebecca black has new music and sold-out shows.

rebecca black friday tour

When Rebecca Black pops onto a Zoom call, the 24-year-old singer cheerfully announces she can hardly wait for this new year to get underway.

“This is definitely the biggest thing that I’ve ever, ever done,” Black says of plans that include a U.S. and European club tour behind her mini-album “Rebecca Black Was Here.” She comes to the Troubadour in West Hollywood for a sold-out show on Friday, Jan. 21.

“It’s the thing that I feel like I have waited the longest for, which is the opportunity to present the show that I’ve always wanted,” she says.

Rebecca Black was 13 when she gave her first-ever interview...

Black, of course, was the 13-year-old kid who famously went viral with the song “Friday” in 2011. She was an Orange County middle schooler when she released a music video for the song, which got a few thousand views in its first month on YouTube.

That should have been that, but as the video bubbled into the online zeitgeist a month later it went from 4,000 to 13 million views in a week, and a tidal wave of online abuse crashed over Black, as commenters tore into not just the quality of the song and its video but the girl who sang it, too.

Most kids would have crawled under the covers and not come out. Black, despite her parents’ concerns, leaned in to the weird kind of fame that “Friday” provided . She appeared on TV and radio, appeared in a Katy Perry music video, too. A music manager signed her, career plans were made.

After high school she moved to Los Angeles , releasing a single or a video now and then, and occasionally playing a showcase here and there, none of which really shifted the world’s perception of who she was.

Then around the time the pandemic shut everything down, Black took stock of who she was and what she wanted to do.

“I didn’t really expect anything out of that time,” she says of those early months of lockdown. “I moved back to Orange County, well, half moved back, and was definitely dealing with some things in my personal life.

“It was also about the time I came out as queer, and so there was a lot in my personal world shifting,” Black says. “I think that, strangely, the alone time and the ability to just be in my space where I felt most comfortable, with the people I felt most comfortable with, allowed me to drown out a lot of the voices of what I should and shouldn’t be doing.

“And that just allowed for really honest music,” Black says. “I really did it with a lot of concern for what other people would think, and without the idea of like, ‘Now I’m going to create this project,’ or, ‘I’m going to create my first project as a queer person.’

“I just started to write, and that allowed me to really understand what I was feeling.”

The Restoration of Rebecca Black started in public on Feb. 10, 2020, the ninth anniversary of “Friday,” when Black relaunched her Instagram page with a pair of photographs — one of her in knee-high red boots, a black minidress, and a blunt-cut bob in her Silver Lake home that day and another from the “Friday” music video.

“I’m trying to remind myself more and more that every day is a new opportunity to shift your reality and lift your spirit,” she wrote in part. “You are not defined by any one choice or thing. Time heals and nothing is finite.”

Two months later, Black came out as queer, a moment that today she credits with freeing her not only to be the person she is but also unlock the songs she’s since written, too.

“It was the only way that I could keep going,” she says of coming out. “Because I know that I’m only 24, but at the same time, I’ve been in this industry for 10-and-a-half years now. And that time, especially over the course of growing up and being a teenager and really figuring out how to form any sense of self, can feel very exhausting.”

There were times, Black says, when she felt like she’d had it, that the dream she’d fought for no longer was worth the toll it took.

“I found myself at times so afraid of failure and so afraid of anything, really,” she says. “And that drained any joy out of what I was able to do, and it drained a lot of my motivation.”

Embracing herself also led to breakthroughs musically, Black says. Where once she felt she needed to take the advice of managers and producers to fulfill their vision of what a Rebecca Black song should be, now she wrote and sang and recorded the things that made her happiest.

“I had to figure out how to think my own thoughts for lack of a better phrase,” she says.” That is the only reason why I’ve been able to still do it after a decade.”

Rebecca Black is here

“Girlfriend,” the first single off “Rebecca Black Was Here,” arrived in January 2021. A sparkling pop anthem you can imagine Robyn or Carly Rae Jepsen singing, its lyrics portray a young queer woman longing to get back together with her ex. (Billboard magazine highlighted her live performance of it at the GLAAD Media Awards as one of the top five musical moments of the show.)

A few weeks later, on the 10th anniversary of “Friday,” Black released a hyperpop remix and futuristic video in collaboration with Dorian Electra, Big Freedia and 3OH!3, produced by Dylan Brady of 100 Gecs (who really should bring out Black to do the song with them at Coachella in April).

The rest of “Rebecca Black Was Here” incorporated those styles as well as a good deal of electropop for a thoroughly modern, hip collection of songs, many of which now have received equally edgy music videos.

“It’s fun to tackle concepts that feel impossible,” Black says of the videos that followed, many of them directed by friend and frequent collaborator Weston Allen. “Especially being an independent artist, a lot of what we’ve created this year at the start felt very impossible, because everything is very expensive.”

The video for “Personal” portrays her alternately as an increasingly unhinged Girlboss character and an “American Psycho”-like serial killer armed with a bedazzled chainsaw. The clip for the sultry ballad “Worth It For The Feeling” sees her as a blonde-wigged seductress in a red bustier and fishnet stockings.

These are grown-up looks for Black, but not that far from the theater kid she was when she made “Friday,” Black says.

“It’s just fun not to try to be taken so seriously,” she says of the videos. “And what’s funny is that this is probably the most seriously anybody has ever taken me in my life.”

Anticipating the future

The Rebecca Black Was Here tour kicked off on Jan. 13 before heading to New York City, Chicago, San Francisco and West Hollywood. In May, she heads to Paris, Amsterdam, London and Manchester. (The Troubadour requires masks and proof of full vaccination. For details and updates go to Troubadour.com .)

The tour, as with the EP and each single, delivers a fresh set of anxieties, Black says.

“Anticipation, no matter what, is always going to take years off my life,” she says. “At the end of the day, no matter how many people tell you they feel really excited about something, the anticipation and self-doubt never really goes away.”

But this round, Black adds, there’s also a lot of excitement, too.

“I find so much more joy and fun in taking risks rather than playing it too safe,” she says. “I feel like what I get nervous about now more than anything is, ‘Have I done enough? Have I challenged myself enough?’

“I try to just enjoy and feel OK with what we’ve done.”

And now, looking back the 11 years to “Friday,” there’s more a feeling of pride – for surviving the online bullies, using the experience as motivation, and sticking to it until reaching this point – than regret.

“I think I’m just glad that I never gave up,” Black says. “I get that question a lot: ‘How, like, why do you still do it?’”

She laughs at that and admits it has often been difficult to carry on.

“I have come close to feeling so lost and not understanding how to get myself back on my feet,” Black says. “I’m just glad that I was able to find the same love that I had that weirdly got me to ‘Friday.’

“The love I had performing and creating as a kid, I’m really glad that I found that again. And I’m proud of myself for that.”

Rebecca Black Talks Hyperpop-Infused New Project, Celebrating Being Queer and What ‘Friday’ Taught Her

Rebecca Black

A decade after the release of “Friday” — the ode to the start of the weekend that catapulted a then-13-year-old Rebecca Black to fame — the singer-songwriter finally feels like she is in control.

With her new project, “Rebecca Black Was Here,” out today, Black transforms herself from one-hit wonder to a bonafide pop star. But that’s not to say that Black sticks to just one lane; the six-track collection boomerangs from hyperpop to ’80s synthwave to sultry ballads, giving Black an experimental edge.

“I think this is the first time that I have things a little bit more under my control,” Black tells Variety  of the project. “My audience has been really patient with me as I’ve tried to make this the best it can be, and a lot of things have changed over the course of the last year.”

Black’s last project, “RE/BL,” was released in September 2017, and she has spent the years since writing and “trying to understand my own point of view,” as she puts it. A big part of that, Black says, was coming out. She publicly came out as queer in April 2020 on the Dating Straight podcast , hosted by her friends Amy Ordman and Jack Dodge.

“To me, the word queer feels really nice,” Black said on the podcast. “I have dated a lot of different types of people, and I just don’t really know what the future holds. Some days, I feel a little bit more on the gay side than others.”

Coming out has certainly informed Black’s songwriting, exemplified by the first single from her new project: “Girlfriend.” Reminiscent of 2010s pop anthems by Katy Perry and Carly Rae Jepsen, the song, which is the final track on “Rebecca Black Was Here,” recalls the euphoric feeling of deciding to get back with an ex. “Girlfriend” marked the first time Black had talked about her sexuality in her songwriting, which she found extremely liberating.

“Just the fact that the way we wrote it was so unabashedly queer was important to me, and I knew it would be important to a lot of people in my audience as well, because so many of them are incredible queer people themselves,” Black says. “It felt like the right reintroduction in a lot of ways. I naturally tend to lean darker in what I write about, but for some reason when I started writing from a queer perspective, I finally felt so much freedom in being able to talk about the joys of life and that was really refreshing for me.”

Though “Girlfriend” leans more toward the cookie-cutter side of pop, the project’s three opening tracks — “Better in My Memory,” “Personal” and “NGL” — are all-out industrial hyperpop. Spurred on by the success of artists like 100 Gecs and Dorian Electra, hyperpop became one of the defining genres of the last year, shaking up the pop scene. Black befriended Electra and even released a collaborative track with them, “Edgelord,” but says her interest in experimental genres far preceded the friendship.

“I think it happened pretty naturally just as I challenged myself and challenged the other people around me to take bigger risks,” Black says. “The ‘Edgelord’ collab with Dorian came right in the middle of writing this project, and songs like ‘Personal’ already existed. I was so excited about ‘Edgelord’ and it made me even more stoked about what was already there and what would come out in the future, because it would feel like such a surprise to so many people, whereas I’ve kind of been heading into this direction in my own way.”

Black says that it took stepping outside of her comfort zone musically to finally write songs that she felt genuinely proud of.

“As a young, female pop artist, I can’t speak for everyone’s experience, but I’ve certainly heard way too many times that you have to have a hit,” Black says. “And I think as I finally broke away from that idea, I started making songs that I felt like I could really stand behind for a long, long time. It’s been so cool to see the reaction to that only emphasize how important it is to me to keep challenging myself and stepping further outside my box.”

Electra and Black collaborated once again on the iconic “Friday” remix, which came out on Feb. 10, the 10-year anniversary of the song’s original release. Produced by Dylan Brady of 100 Gecs and also featuring 3OH!3 and Big Freedia, the remix turned “Friday” on its head with bubbly synths, heavy bass and an extra dose of autotune, cementing its status in pop culture history in the process. The release and its accompanying futuristic, meme-filled music video stunned fans and Black alike, who admits she would have never given a “Friday” remix a second thought just a few years ago.

“As I started to build on my own identity as the artist I wanted to become, I really wanted to do ‘Friday’ kind of in my own words or my own way. It brought such a sense of fun to me that it felt like I was finally taking back for myself after the harder parts of ‘Friday,'” Black says. “That was really cathartic, and I think by the time the video and everything was finished, I just felt so thrilled that it did all I hoped it would for me. And of course I was excited to see what other people would think, but I didn’t even really care what other people’s opinions would be about it. It was just finally something that I felt like was for me.”

Indeed, Black went through the wringer with “Friday”; with over 150 million views on YouTube came relentless online bullying and a meme insisting it was “the worst song ever made.” But now the song has achieved cult status, a phenomenon that Black has been pleasantly surprised to witness.

“It’s still so crazy to hear how people perceive that song now, and especially when people use phrases like ‘it was a cultural moment.’ It’s insane for me to even think about,” Black says. “Obviously it was a big deal in my life at the time and it changed my life in a lot of ways — but I’ve been through so many ups and downs with that song and in my own mental state.”

Now finally launching the career she wants to have with music she is truly proud of, Black admits that “Friday” taught her a few lessons that have been helpful when it comes to advocating for herself.

“I think it really forced me to learn how to fight for myself and to teach myself how to take matters into my own hands for my own life,” Black says. “It’s just taught me a lot about strength, and how important that is in your art. Because as an artist, one of the biggest parts is having your own point of view and knowing why you do it. And [‘Friday’] taught me a lot about my why.”

Black is following up the release of “Rebecca Black Was Here” with her first-ever headline tour, beginning in January in Washington, D.C. Having worked on the project all through quarantine, Black is eager to add the art of live performance to her artist persona — and to prove that she has what it takes to be a pop star.

“I think this year has really been the first time that I’ve felt like not only I can prove to myself, but to other people, that I can and really deserve to be here and compete in the main pop world,” Black says. “That’s what I’m here to do. I love music, I love what I create and I love this world so much. I love to perform so much and that is such a huge, huge part of myself.”

Though Black understands that there may be some people who will only ever associate her with “Friday,” she hopes that fans will get a better sense of who she is as an artist with “Rebecca Black Was Here.”

“I hope that they feel like they can get to know not only myself, but feel heard in some of these songs. It’s a lot of music about queer love and experiences in that world, and I just feel so proud to be able to share that,” Black says. “In regards to other people, I’ve made so much peace with knowing that there is probably forever going to be a group of people that always sees me as the ‘Friday’ girl and nothing else. And that’s OK. I have redefined that for myself.”

‘Friday’ singer Rebecca Black is all grown up

rebecca black friday tour

In her new music video for “ Read My Mind ,” Rebecca Black and collaborator Slayyyter portray bored convenience store employees with bad dye-jobs and worse attitudes who serve a parade of juggalos and rednecks before a chance encounter with a motocross star leaves them “ yassified ” — a 2021 trend that turned regular objects into extremely beautiful and queer-coded ones — into cartoonish dolls with big blonde wigs and too-big, muppet-like breasts.

The video’s grotesque-but-make-it-cute vibe matches the song, an irresistible pop jam that does the opposite of Coco Chanel’s most quoted wisdom and keeps adding one more thing: saccharine synths on top of pop-punk riffs on top of double-time breakbeats on top of an undeniable pop melody.

Black’s Auto-Tuned vocals and lyrics about riding into the night play like a knowing nod to the song that accidentally made her famous over a decade ago: “ Friday ,” the one-off project that went viral, was widely derided as one of the worst songs ever and eventually proved traumatic for the then 13-year-old.

“I was really trying so hard to run away from that part of my life for so long, and I was so afraid of anybody even bringing up that [“Friday”] existed, because to me it represented a part of myself that was a character and not real,” Black says.

A decade after ‘Friday,’ singer Rebecca Black hopes her 13-year-old self would look up to her now

Processing the reaction to the song and the viral infamy it caused took time, but Black eventually figured out how to reclaim something that was never intended to be seen millions of times on YouTube. Since then, she’s spoofed “Friday” for a Dunkin’ ad and — in a move more indicative of her musical tastes — remixed it into a frazzled, hyperpop confection alongside Big Freedia and Dylan Brady of 100 Gecs.

That remix, the “Read My Mind” video and the club-ready pop of her latest album “ Rebecca Black Was Here ” might be surprising if seen as Point B to the Point A of the original “Friday,” but to Black, it’s the natural progression of an artist who grew up and started answering familiar questions: Who am I? What do I want to say? What do I have to give?

“Enough time has passed and I’ve had enough time to really understand what that [experience] really was like and finally feel comfortable,” she says. “I learned how to step away from all of that because if I never did, I would probably be miserable forever.”

Instead of being miserable, Black is ready to kick off her first headlining tour at Union Stage in D.C., while still concerned about how to safely perform live shows as the pandemic rages. But if all goes according to plan, she’s hoping to bring the outsize visual style of her recent output to life.

“We’ve built diamond chain saws and I have the big b---s [from the “Read My Mind” video] sitting in my closet,” she notes. “I don’t want to leave them in my home while I’m on tour.”

Jan. 13 at 8 p.m. at Union Stage, 740 Water St. SW. unionstage.com . $18. Proof of vaccination is required for admission.

Queer, wise and ‘making up for lost time’: How Rebecca Black grew up after ‘Friday’

Many know her from her catchy internet song from 2011, but the viral teenager is now a sage pop performer — and she has advice to share.

Rebecca Black is a philosopher. And it makes sense for somebody tethered to the internet in such an enduring way — there’s no choice but to peer inward.

“It’s important to be able to develop a trust within yourself that, even if it is just a moment, it can be true for a moment,” she tells TODAY.com. “That was something that I really lacked for a long time. And all that did was make me look outward.” 

Twelve years have passed since Black, now 26, became a sensation when her song “Friday” went viral and subsequently captivated a generation of fellow internet dwellers like herself. At first, “Friday” — and its lyrics “It’s Friday, Friday / Gotta get down on Friday” — seemed easy to poke fun at. Now, it’s a pop earworm that never needs reintroduction, and lambasting it has become rightfully passé .

But in the timeline of Black’s career, it’s Sunday, if you will — the proverbial beginning of it all.

Rebecca Black Performs At Heaven

These days, she DJs at Coachella , headlines Pride festivals and has joined the lineup this summer at BST Hyde Park with Blackpink , one of the biggest acts in K-pop. In February, Black dropped a debut studio album, “Let Her Burn,” and went on tour soon after, making stops in Montreal, New York City, Los Angeles and other major cities. 

While her bops are indeed bopping, her authentic and forthright relationship with the LGBTQ+ community is equally resonant. Black, who came out as queer in 2020 , has a playful term to describe her experience of sharing her queer identity: “practicing gayness.”

She also recognizes the responsibility of her platform. She’s been vocal about trans rights , gun control legislation in the wake of the Colorado Springs shooting and championing the LGBTQ+ community.

“The climate around queerness and especially what’s happening within our government here in the States right now … we do (need to) stand up for queer people, whether it be those around us or the ones in our lives,” she says.

After attending Pride at age 21, Black says she “came to terms” with her identity that summer and then “spent every night in gay bars and gay clubs … not even drinking.” One of her first experiences in an LGBTQ+ space — a “core memory,” she says — was making out with a girl for the first time at LA Pride, when either Kim Petras or Kehlani were performing. (Either options are queer canon, let’s be real.)

“I was making up for a lot of lost time that I had as a teenager,” she says, “because my sexuality was something that I kind of came into later on in life.” 

Black grew up on sites like Pinterest and Tumblr. (She still uses Pinterest, she admits.) During those early social media days, she found her “first subcultures of the internet” that really spoke to her. She also says that as a queer person, spending time on these platforms could be “trivialized” by older folks, or deemed “as meaningless and superficial,” but disagrees with that sentiment.

As someone who was homeschooled, Black found other artists, communities and even some of her “closest friends” online, and that really struck a chord with her as a teenager.

“I wish I could go back and just witness myself,” Black says. “Understanding that kind of fantasy that we build of who we want to be in our own heads.” 

Black has an enviable capacity for introspection. As she unpacks the differences between writing and performing — which may seem obvious to some — Black reveals the stage can feel just as solitary.

“There are so many moments on stage where you feel like you’re (facing a) double-sided mirror type of thing. And it can feel really lonely. I mean, I think one thing that people don’t really talk about is sometimes how quiet it can be onstage and how vulnerable that can make you feel.” 

She seems to push through those feelings, though, and says she has relearned her relationship with the audience: “I can just be myself, you know, and talk to an audience the way that I would talk to anybody.” 

In July, she’ll perform alongside Blackpink at BST Hyde Park, London’s popular concert series. So how does she deal with pressure to prepare for a stage like that?

“A big part of performing, especially as you’re trying to build your own confidence — and this has helped me — is it’s OK to live in your own delusion a little bit.”

She adds, “There will never be a perfect show. And at the same time, every night is a perfect show.” 

It’s a freeing thought. And this tenet shouldn’t only be applicable to pop artists. In fact, as open she is to wisdom, both receiving it and sharing her own, she does subscribe to a person having “intuition and trust within yourself first.” 

“Whatever happens afterwards, you’ll pick up the pieces,” she says, “but at least you have information on yourself.”

Rebecca Black is ready to re-introduce herself

It’s been a decade since Rebecca Black became an instant viral meme at just 13 years old with her video for “Friday.” After teasing a new era of her music in 2020 with singles like “Self Sabotage/Closer” and her collaboration with Dorian Electra, “Edgelord,” Black released Rebecca Black Was Here this past June. It’s a collection of tracks unlike anything the singer had released before , exploring hyperpop territory, among other genres. The artist we meet in Rebecca Black Was Here is confident and witty; she fully sheds her former persona as “the ‘Friday’ girl.” Black, who came out as queer last year, takes listeners through the ups and downs of a past relationship, culminating with “Girlfriend,” an extremely catchy song about wanting to get back together with her former partner. The album has turned the singer into a queer icon of sorts—a career path on which her campy beginnings can be embraced. During Pride weekend, we caught up with Black over ice cream to talk about being in control of her narrative, the emergence of this new era, and her upcoming tour.

The A.V. Club : Rebecca Black Was Here marks a big shift in your music. What was the catalyst for entering the hyperpop realm?

Rebecca Black: It was kind of natural. I’ve been continuously writing music for the last—I don’t even know—four or five years, just trying to keep figuring out what felt right, and what I liked, and what made sense. When I listened back, I felt like it was really my sound and my song and all of that. I’ve been really inspired always by artists like Grimes, Robyn, Madonna, SOPHIE, just really amazing artists for me… that will always kind of find its way through. I don’t know if I would say I’m a hyperpop artist. But I definitely love pop and I want to keep trying to make pop that fucking pushes boundaries, and lives outside of what someone would think pop would be.

AVC: You’d been very adamant about Rebecca Black Was Here not being an EP; it’s a project. Why’s that?

RB: It was always what it was called, and from the get-go I had no idea whether it would be an album, whether it would be an EP, whether it would be anything. It was always an ever-evolving project considering how much more I have planned for this year. That’s just what made sense. It was this collection of six songs that I really wanted to be together on its own in order to put out, to have its moment. And make room also for more stuff. I definitely want to make a full-length album and I’m going to be doing that now.

AVC: How long was the writing process for the project?

RB: I started writing it in March of 2020, essentially. The last time I had released more than just a single was in 2017. So it’s been really ever since then that I’ve been trying to do something. I just was waiting until the time was right.

AVC: It felt like you had disappeared for a few years before emerging now with a new era.

RB: Well, I’ve been here. I guess that’s part of the name of the project. It just takes time. Especially, I think in my case, I really had to work backwards after “Friday,” whereas normally people that have something that reaches that caliber of attention, they would be working for years. And I was a kid who did one thing that was not supposed to be “it.” So, I’ve been continuously trying to work and do the work to figure out the artist that I want to be. And sometimes that takes time. I definitely spent a lot of time during these past few years trying to find that.

AVC: It does seem like you finally have full control of creating the music you envisioned yourself working on, and now the result is gaining critical acclaim. I’m sure that feels very rewarding.

RB: Definitely. That is what I was excited about for this project and this part of my life. It was something I struggled with, for sure. Now I do feel like I have that. I think that’s what really makes me believe in this project so much more. I’ve had a lot of help to get it, but at the same time it’s really a vision that I wanted for it.

AVC: One thing I love about Rebecca Black Was Here is that it feels like an introduction to who you actually are, rather than the internet’s perception of who you were during the “Friday” days.

RB: I feel like I was always asking myself, “If I was allowed to, what would I do?” And then I just realized, it is up to me. This project is about being able to hone that. Which is obviously an extremely important part of an artist project: understanding what you want to do and doing it your way and being cognizant of the people who are part of it. This project would be nothing if it wasn’t a collaboration. But yeah, I feel like I can really look at these songs and say, “Yes, this is extremely resonant of a time in my life that I’ll always remember.”

AVC: Do you think that “Friday” was holding you back from fully being able to make music in the way you wanted to?

RB: I don’t know where I would be without that song, on one hand. But I think it was really just my own insecurities that held me back. Those were definitely a result of what happened with “Friday,” for sure. I think I was getting in my own way with conversations I had with other music people. Yeah, that was probably the main hindrance over anything else.

AVC: It was surprising to hear that you were intensely bullied for such an innocuous music video. I remember watching it as a teen and being a bit jealous that you had the freedom to make your own music video as a fun thing to do with your friends.

RB: It was awful. I tried to make comments about that because hopefully that would be helpful to be transparent. But yeah, it was a really difficult time, being that young and just having so many people be so opinionated about who you are, and to not know who you are. It was tough. Looking back, I can definitely see that a lot more than when I was going through it.

AVC: There was a time in between “Friday” and your various single releases that you weren’t working on music. What were you doing during that time? Were you still writing music without recording it?

RB: I was only thinking about what I would do because I didn’t know. And I was so scared of the thought of not knowing what I was going to do. But I was also just trying to be a 16-, 17-year-old, 18-year-old, 19-year-old. And trying to just write. I really wanted to write and write and write until I was finding a place where I felt really solid about what I was making. And I wasn’t really able to do that for the first few years of even being out here, out in L.A. But, with time, things changed.

AVC: There’s unfortunately still a big lack of pop hits that are about women singing about their relationships with women, and your project being focused on a queer relationship surely makes tons of young women feel seen. It must feel impactful to know that you’re now playing that role for queer fans.  

RB: There’s definitely a lot of representation to be had. And I can only provide one specific experience, but I’m happy to do so. And also, it makes writing so much easier for me, because it’s honest. And that’s always the most fulfilling part of music, when you make something that feels true to yourself. I just know how many people in my audience are queer, and I see them online talking about how much representation still needs to be had. And I completely agree. I also want to encourage any other queer people or artists who are making things to make queer art.

AVC: Every song in Rebecca Black Was Here feels like a chapter in a love story as it traces its ups and downs. It’s a breakup record in a way, but it still captures the nuances of looking at the positive moments of that relationship.

RB: The feelings in a breakup are really complex. It’s not often in a breakup that you’re just solely mad at a person or solely happy with them. And I think a lot of those songs, like “Not Gonna Lie,” “Personal” as well, even “Blue,” talk about the interconnectedness of loving someone and wanting them to be happy and wanting them to move on, along with also feeling really upset. Or dealing with them being upset and learning how to move on yourself. It’s not straightforward all the time.

AVC: You excel at writing about relationship dynamics, so is that something you’re planning to explore further in your next project?

RB: A little bit. I started to take things a little bit broader. I haven’t always written about romance and I don’t intend to only make love songs or breakup songs, so I’m really enjoying talking a lot more about my relationship with my mental health, and myself, and the internet, and as a young person what that’s like, and as someone who’s online all the time what that’s like. That entire universe—[but] definitely still some breakup-y songs, because I had a lot to say about that.

AVC: Are there any songs you wrote while working on the project that didn’t make it on the record?

RB: So many. Maybe they’ll make it one day, but there had to have been 50 songs that we wrote as a whole, at least. A lot of them are just ideas that could be fleshed out better and then they turn into another song.

AVC: You’re also embarking on your first major tour next year. What do you have planned for it?

RB: I definitely want to turn it the fuck out. We’re still like six months out, so we’re working on getting it together. But it’s my first time doing a headline show. I want everything—I want all the bells, whistles, all of that. I’m so excited for people to see all these songs come to life because that’s where I can share all of them, on a stage.

Rebecca Black Isn’t Here to Redeem Herself

rebecca black friday tour

By Juan Velasquez

It’s been 12 years since the release of  “Friday,” the accidentally viral hit sung by pop performer  Rebecca Black . At the time, Black was 13 years old and completely overwhelmed by the public response. The music video received 1.2 million downvotes on YouTube, surpassing Justin Bieber’s “Baby” as the most disliked video on the platform. Combined with a maelstrom of internet trolling, the backlash made Black feel, as she stated in a heartbreaking  2020 tweet , “ashamed of herself and afraid of the world.” But even then, the queer community had her back. 

“The only people I would see fight for me or even just empathize with me were people who were queer and who really understood my experience,” Black tells me from the plush vinyl booth of the Clark Street Diner near the 101 freeway, a smoggy tributary cutting through the heart of Hollywood. “That was really helpful for me as a kid, to be like, ‘Okay, this isn’t that bad. I can figure this out. I’m not alone.’”

It’s painful to imagine the warm and confident Black ever feeling cut off from the world. Now 25 years old, the singer has come into her own, reinventing herself as an artist on her incendiary debut album  Let Her Burn  after coming out as queer in 2020. Her disarming smile makes frequent appearances between bites of chocolate chip pancakes and sips of Diet Coke, which Black loves, especially if it’s poured from a soda fountain. But far from wanting to disavow her past, Black hopes her fans can learn something from the judgment she endured in her teenage years.

“Defining anybody by what they created as a child is horrible. But I got through it. If my story can help people with something that is traumatic or anything that is really difficult, great,” she says, with genuine compassion in her voice.

For Black, everyone deserves the chance to tell their own story on their own terms — and from that perspective,  Let Her Burn is a hell of an opening chapter. Tracks like the Oscar Scheller produced “Doe-Eyed” finds Black exploring her sexuality and queerness front and center. Through bass-heavy 808 beats and Oneohtrix Point Never-inspired synths, Black sings, “Get down, my turn, scream my name / Handcuff me to the bed frame.” The musician says writing a seductive track that was so “explicit and unserious” felt empowering, especially after coming out. And with lyrics like, “Got a little kitty with a big dream / Come and lick it up like it’s strawberry cream,” it’s easy to see why. This album isn’t just a debut; it’s a ceremonial burning of her past persona, finding the artist taking back her own narrative.

“My intention is like, here I am as a pop star, take it or leave it,” Black tells me. “No matter what happened to me before this, I am here to make music that is just as good and exciting as everybody else out here. And if you don’t see it and don’t want to take it, that’s fine, but just know that that’s why I'm here. I’m not here just to redeem myself.”

The title of the album,  Let Her Burn , evokes the Salem witch trials , but perhaps a more fitting image might be a phoenix rising from ashes. On “Destroy Me,” Black dives headfirst into her past trauma, disarming her haters by exposing her own insecurity. “[The song] is about trying to find a way to let that go in a way where it feels like I have power over it, like,  ‘Yes. Go ahead and destroy me. Everyone does it,’” she tells me. “The reality is we're all trying to find empowerment from really dark places in our lives.”

But although Black has clearly matured and healed through making this album, she still sees herself as being in an ever-evolving chrysalis stage of her career. “I’m not necessarily coming to you with this album of ‘I am a finished, perfectly confident person,’” she says.

That continuous evolution includes aspects of Black’s own identity that the singer is still working to understand and communicate to the outside world. For one, news of her queerness has apparently not yet spread to every corner of her following. “Well, I just apparently came out again two weeks ago on Twitter when I talked about having a girlfriend,” Black jokes. “Everyone was like, ‘Oh my God, congrats on coming out.’ And I was like, ‘I thought we did this two years ago.’”

While on the  Dating Straight  podcast in April of 2020, Black spoke about a breakup with a girlfriend, subsequently coming out as queer . Black’s current partner, Veronika Wyman, seems to be her astrological match. Black is a Cancer surrounded by earth signs and Wyman is a Libra with lots of Scorpio in her chart. “I think what we have in common is that she’s deeply emotional and really sensitive, but not in a way that’s chaotic,” Black says. “We’re just really here to listen to each other.”

Although she’s playful about all of this, Black clearly doesn’t take being an out LGBTQ+ musician lightly, and she is continually processing what it means to have the platform she does. “Not only am I a queer musician, I’m now a spokesperson whether or not I want to be. And that carries responsibilities. I just try to not speak for the entire community, I speak from my own experience,” she says.

Black is also thinking deeply about her relationship to her Hispanic heritage and her own family’s history. Black’s mother is from Mexico City but growing up in Orange County, a bastion of white affluent conservatism, she felt removed from her Latinx roots. 

“It felt like this part of myself that I honestly had no connection with and was kind of told, ‘You’re Mexican, but you’re not.’” It wasn’t something to talk about or explore within myself,” Black recalls. “I know that my mom really struggled with that as a Mexican immigrant. I think she maybe regrets not letting Spanish become a part of our upbringing.”

The singer is empathetic to her mother’s struggles, acknowledging that assimilation is a complex issue influenced by the politics of the time. But after realizing how common her experience is, especially in places like Orange County, she has come to believe that speaking openly and transparently about her own journey can help other people navigate similar circumstances. 

“I don't want to come out here and say, ‘I’ve been a proud Mexican American my whole life.’ because I unfortunately wasn’t brought up that way,” she says. “But now it’s such a beautiful piece of my family and of my relationship with my mother. I know that a lot of Hispanic people in my same realm have really struggled with that as well. I’m just trying to be honest about it.”

That commitment to honesty and authenticity is evident both from Black’s new album, and in the enthusiasm with which she discusses its craft. Pop was once a source of pain for Black; now it seems to spark pure joy. She uses words like “tinsely” and “synthetic” to describe the record’s myriad and variegated sounds. She delights in sharing technical factoids about the record that only a real music nerd like myself would appreciate. In between coffees, we get lost on philosophical tangents, waxing poetic about the power of pop music. She talks about her fantasy of collaboration with Prince, wanting to work with Skrillex, and her unabashed love of Katy Perry’s  Teenage Dream .

“I love making pop in this current time. It is such an exciting moment for pop music,” Black says, citing artists like  SOPHIE and Charli XCX as inspirations. “The horizon has just broadened. And I think that has allowed for people like me to come in and say, ‘I’m here and I can make something that is serious and really good and fun and insane.’”

If that was her mission, Black has succeeded.  Let Her Burn is an unbridled and confident debut. It’s a bold genre-melding patchwork whose vibes zig-zag at breakneck speed, from the sexed-up club anthem “Crumbs” to the Y2K flavored nu-metal pop of “Destroy Me” to the ’80s-inspired single “Sick to My Stomach,” which gives Carly Rae Jepson a run for her money. But what unifies the genre-hopping journey are the echoes of her 2011 hit: cranked out auto-tune, harsh compressed synth sounds, and feverishly saccharine vibes. In many ways, “Friday” has boomeranged back into music production, influencing hyperpop artists like  100 gecs and Slayyter.

Black shares with me that in conversations with album producer, A.G. Cook, she learned not just about his love for “Friday,” but for ARK Music Factory, the team which wrote the 2011 single and many others of that era. This only deepens my theory that “Friday” was the origin of hyperpop — and with a knowing smirk, Black tells me, “I’ve seen the conspiracies on the internet for sure.”

Other artists might be tempted to put “Friday” in the rearview, but Black has realized that she can both reclaim her roots and present a bold new direction. By this point, she has fully recontextualized and embraced the iconic but once triggering hit, folding it seamlessly into her setlists. While on her first headlining tour last year the singer realized the power that “Friday” has over a crowd. “People die for that song,” she says, “It was so exciting and healing for me to have this song be a moment I know people are going to gag for. That’s super sick.”

As the tides of popular opinion turn, and in an era where there really are no guilty pleasures, it would appear that 2023 is Rebecca Black’s year — and she knows it.  Let Her Burn is at its core an album about freedom. For Black, it’s about freedom from the past, the freedom to move forward, and the freedom, at last, to be a pop star.

Let Her Burn is available February 9. Rebecca Black will tour North America this spring.

Rebecca Black: “I’m a Lana Del Rey hoe”

rebecca black friday tour

By Jessie Atkinson

Rebecca Black “Im a Lana Del Rey hoe”

The ten-year anniversary remix of the much-streamed, much-memed single “Friday” — achieved with the help of 3OH!3, Big Freedia, Dorian Electra and Dylan Brady of 100 gecs — gave us one of the most ingenious image transformations in pop history. With just one drop, Rebecca Black was relaunched as a serious player on the hyper-pop scene. Two years on and the singer has finally released debut album  Let Her Burn , a collection of new music that immortalises the heartbreak, isolation and self-love she has experienced since. 

Spanning from electronica to drum'n'bass and the pure pop that has long been her calling card, Black's album is a testament to hard work, talent and truly excellent therapy. As  Let Her Burn blazes gloriously on her international tour, we met Rebecca Black to find out more about her formative experiences.

The first time you felt pride in your work?

The summer of 2021. It was the first time I really felt like I had a beautiful and solid community backing me who really understood my music. 

The first time you blew your pay cheque frivolously?

When I bought myself a designer bag for the first time when I was 19. That’s a very young age to be able to do something like that but I had just started living on my own for the first time and for some reason I bought some Chloé bag . I was like ‘I’m going to have this for the rest of my life, it’s gonna be an investment piece’. Sure enough, being a stupid 19 year-old, spilled lipstick all over it a couple of months later. 

The first time you got silly drunk?

There used to be these parties that happened every Wednesday that this boy band would hold at their house and we would always try to get in and go. I think I’d always been a bit scared to actually drink enough to experience or feel it when I was younger but I was probably 17 or 18.

The first time you heard the word Rebesties?

I think it came up around the time that “Girlfriend” came out, the first single I’d released in quite a while in January 2021. I forget whether that was a joke somebody had said online or if I’d said it somewhere.

The first time you got a tattoo?

I got these little dots on my fingers like two days after I turned 18. My parents are very anti-tattoo, and my mum was like, ‘Well you’re 18, you’re going to do what you’re going to do.’ Now I’ve convinced my family to get matching tattoos with me.

The first time you kissed a girl?

At L.A. Pride in June of 2018. It was in the middle of a Kim Petras concert.

The first time you got bangs?

I had bangs as a little kid. I think my abuela was home with me one day and cut my hair without telling my mum when I was two. This is probably one of the longest times I’ve actually had them and I don’t know who I am without them anymore.

The first record you ever bought?

The first one I remember owning was either  In The Zone  by Britney Spears or  Metamorphosis by Hilary Duff. Amazing album cover: just face and wind.

The first time you heard a Charli XCX song?

It was 2013 when True Romance came out — I was watching some YouTube video, and this girl was like: ‘I’m going to do a Charli XCX make-up tutorial’ and I remember hearing the song play — “You (Ha Ha Ha)”. I had never heard of her before. I became obsessed with that album and I’ve been a Charli XCX fan ever since. 

The first time you felt euphoria on stage?

I definitely lost that feeling for a really long time and it wouldn’t have been until this last year when I toured for the first time on my own [that I felt it again]. That was probably the first time I experienced the same feeling that I felt when I was small.

Your first celebrity crush was…

Orlando Bloom. I had a poster of him on my wall and I would kiss it with lipstick. Very specifically, him in  Pirates of the Caribbean , I think the second one.

By Jack King

The first song you put on when you feel sad.

Right now it’s a Mitski song, “American Girl”. It’s a pretty rageful song. I love the way her voice sounds against really heavy guitar. Otherwise I’m a Lana Del Rey hoe. 

The first time you had therapy.

I was pretty young. It probably had to do with my parent’s divorce when I was seven or eight.

The first karaoke song you go to.

I hate karaoke to be honest, but it would depend on how much I was drinking. Right now I’m feeling “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey, I think because it was the first actual thing I had to perform when I was in school.

The first piece of fake news you read about yourself.

I was 13 and some article came out that I was pregnant with this actor Nat Wolff’s baby. I’d never met this man in my life, and I was fully a child. They photoshopped some fake thing of me holding up a sign saying ‘I’m pregnant’. I remember being like, ‘What is happening and why are people believing this?’. I’ve never had the chance to talk to Nat about that.

The first time you were given really excellent advice?

A few months after “Friday” had done its thing, I was working with Katy Perry through her “Last Friday Night” video and she brought me up on stage at her L.A. show and we sang “Friday” together which was really silly and cute. She pulled me aside for quite a long time and gave me so much good advice on what to prioritise and how to stay sane amidst so much craziness. I was so young so it was also so scary to even be talking to her but that was really special.

The first person you call when you’re in real trouble.

My girlfriend. Or my mum.

The first time you had a rider and what was on it?

It was for a college show I did a few years ago. I think I put a bedazzled cowboy hat on there, and scented pens. Also, I love an after-show pizza because it’s hard to eat before a show, so afterwards, girl, I will be munching on Domino’s. 

Let Her Burn is out now.

What’s the black tape Scottie Scheffler is wearing on his neck at The Players?

Scottie Scheffler is looking to make a final-round charge at The Players Championship 2024, but he's been playing most of the week with a bad neck that got tweaked on Friday morning in the second round.

Now the defending champion is playing the final day at TPC Sawgrass with black tape on his neck that is sticking out from his white shirt. What is that tape, and why is Scheffler wearing it?

Scheffler is wearing a special kind of tape used to create stability within the muscles around his neck.

The product is called kinesio tape. Kinesio tape is essentially a really strong tape that, when applied correctly, can support muscles, joints and tendons like a brace would, yet without restricting motion in the same way braces, compression bands or wraps might. Made of cotton, it doesn't cause the rashing a latex-based material could cause.

One of the more popular makes, KT Tape can be worn for up to five days when applied, including in the shower and pool. It comes in a roll that can be cut -- kind of like gauze -- for up to 20 applications. It retails for $12-13, depending on where you shop.

It's become a popular product for athletes to use when their muscles are bothering them or have been tweaked, but the injury isn't bad enough to keep them sidelined.

For Scheffler, kinesio tape allows his neck to feel tolerable and allows him to continue playing golf without having to withdraw from the tournament.

"I don't know if y'all could hear many of our conversations out there today, but basically when I get the club to about halfway back I start feeling a lot of pain in my neck," Scheffler said Saturday. "So, from here to there it's very difficult to get the club back."

Scheffler is looking to become the first player to ever successfully defend The Players Championship title, so he will stop at nothing in an effort to stay in a tournament where he is right on the cusp of being in contention late on Sunday at TPC Sawgrass.

This story, What’s the black tape Scottie Scheffler is wearing on his neck at The Players? , first appeared on Golf News Net.
