Rebecca Black scored a much-maligned hit at the age of 13 with 'Friday.' Now 25, she is finally releasing her debut album. We talked with her about what happened in between.
: Yeah. That's almost exactly half my life ago, strangely.What happened? I mean... I had to become a fully realized person. I was a teenager when that song came out, and that song was one of those strange, weird experiences that I got to have, that somehow I convinced my parents to do ... then that became this obviously much bigger moment than any of us anticipated. So it felt almost like working backwards to this moment that I'm in right now.
It's been a layered experience for me. I mean, trying to understand what happened to me when I was a 13-year-old, and then how the relationship I had with that experience changed as I got older, has been the thing that has probably defined methan the experience itself.
Yeah... I mean, I would hope so. And that was something that I remember talking to my mom about quite a lot, a couple of years after the fact. My mom just wished that she had some sort of a handbook to look at to try to steer me through that. Or someone she could talk to. I hope that exists now.. I know you have been releasing singles, in between"Friday" and now.
So as much as I would have loved to say I was ready to do this, the last few years have been the most important creative years of my life. Because I finally believed that IRebecca Black Was Here When I wrote that song, I was really struggling with how I viewed myself. That song is really about the insecurity that you have with yourself, about giving permission for other people to come in and destroy you or kind of shake up your own view of yourself.Well, we've been dating for about a year, and she's a producer. We didn't work together on this.
