Friday singer Rebecca Black promises new music is ‘heavier’ than ever

Rebecca Black has promised her new music is “heavier, harder, faster and louder” than anything else she’s done.

The Friday hitmaker is working on the follow-up to last year’s SALVATION, and she has teased the way she wants to continue building on the way her sound developed with Sugar Water Cyanide from her 2025 album.

She told Billboard: “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.”

Rebecca, 28, has also expanded into DJing more recently, and she does her best to keep the crowds on their toes.

She added: “I always want a track in there that people won’t be expecting to hear that night.

“But one that’ll bring so much joy and surprise that they did, whether it’s some deranged Crazy Frog reggaeton mix or a Friday mashup or anything else I come across.”

Rebecca previously admitted she was “overstimulated” during her arena tour supporting Katy Perry last year as she stepped out in venues with over 10,000 capacity every night.

She previously told PEOPLE magazine: “I was so overstimulated the first night and so scared, and by the end it felt so like redeeming to be able to get on and be like, ‘This is just another show’.

“It was so much fun. But it was crazy.”

Rebecca was suddenly thrust into the spotlight all around the world in 2011 with her track Friday – which her mother had paid the now-defunct ARK Music Factory $4,000 to write and also film an accompanying music video.

She previously recalled her parents having to step in to “protect” her as she struggled with teenage fame.

However, she refused to have the song taken down and decided to just “live with” it as it went viral.

She told The Times newspaper: “That was definitely not a decision with a ton of thought. I was a girl who learnt from my mom to trust her instincts.

“In my 13-year-old brain it felt way less embarrassing to just live with whatever was happening.”
