Rebecca Black has opened up about some upcoming new music, saying it is “heavier, harder, faster and louder than anything I’ve made before.”
Black spoke to Billboard about new music while playing a DJ set in New York last week (March 27).
Speaking about the new music that follows on from her last album – 2025’s ‘Salvation’ – she explained: “It’s been so fulfilling to intertwine my world of dance into what I do more and more, and see the songs that were already going down that path be the ones to connect with my audience the most.
“‘Sugar Water Cyanide’ was by far the heaviest track off my last project, and seeing it become the one everyone knows was so validating to begin creating from again. This new music is heavier, harder, faster and louder than anything I’ve made before,” she revealed.
Last year, Black reunited with Katy Perry during a live show, and invited the singer to join her for the ‘Lifetimes’ tour.
During the set, Perry performed a rendition of her 2011 hit single ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)’, and brought out Rebecca Black as a surprise guest. It marked a reunion for the two, as they both featured in the music video for that track. Black had starred in the video after going viral with her hit breakout song, ‘Friday’.
In a previous video about the making of the ‘Last Friday Night’ video, Perry spoke about her collaboration with Black and shared a tongue-in-cheek comment. “Rebecca and I both love Fridays. So that’s why I asked her to be in this music video because Friday is like my favourite day of the week, and it’s her favourite day of the week,” Perry said.
Last year, Black also spoke to NME about her time in the music industry and looked back at 14 years of her viral hit.
“I felt this pressure of, like, never being the person to mention it because I didn’t want to be known for just this one thing,” she said.
“I just hope that people can see [my career] for the full journey. I don’t really care whether people think about anything I’ve done in the past, but it’s nice to think they might appreciate the full context.”
