Rebecca Black

3 upcoming festivals

'Friday' survivor turned genuinely credible hyperpop artist — a reinvention the internet actually respects.

Rebecca Black is an American pop singer who first became widely known as a teenager in 2011 through "Friday," a song that spread online largely as an object of mockery. She continued releasing music independently in the years that followed, and a hyperpop-leaning remix of that early single, featuring producers and artists from that scene, marked a shift in how her work was received. Her later material sits in the club-adjacent, maximalist end of pop, with dense production and vocal processing, and she has been open about her queerness in both her music and interviews.
