An internet icon like Rebecca Black doesn’t need an introduction. However, we would love to know how you would introduce yourself to someone who isn’t familiar with you.
(laughs) I’m Rebecca Black. I’m an artist; I’m queer. I’m quite passionate about performance, and I am definitely enamored with the worlds that can be created through darkness and fantasy in pop culture, pop music, and everything in between.
What’s the funniest rumor or conspiracy theory you’ve ever heard about yourself? You can either deny or confirm.
Once I heard that I hooked up with Angelina Jolie. I will neither deny nor confirm.
A debut is always a big moment in someone’s career, and it took you a while. How would you summarize the road toward Let Her Burn?
I felt its bigness throughout the process—sometimes for better and sometimes, probably, for worse. I’ve cast a lot of pressure on myself over the years, of course, in a way to prove myself. But the best moments in the album, I believe, came from the times I forgot anyone would ever hear it but myself. “Let Her Burn” is definitely an intentional statement to mark who I am. The more I sit with it, the more I can feel it as a very bold message to myself about how proud I am of who I’ve become and a marker of where to go next.
