How Rebecca Black Is Putting Her Own Stamp on Pop Music 12 Years After “Friday” – E! Online

It may not be Friday, but Rebecca Black is ready to have some fun, fun, fun. 

No, she’s not hoping her 2011 viral single gets stuck in your head again. Rather, the 25-year-old is ready to show how far she has come with the Feb. 9 release of her debut album Let Her Burn.

“This is the album you want to hear,” Rebecca shared with E! News in an exclusive interview. “It took 12 years of discovering myself after an accidental launch into this world to really figure out what I had to say and figure out who I am.”

So, who exactly is the woman who first went viral for simply singing about her favorite day of the week? For starters, she’s older, wiser and stronger than the young 13-year-old you first met on YouTube.

For many years, Rebecca says she suffered online abuse that took a toll on her mental health. The noise left her wondering if her dreams in the music industry could ever be accomplished.
