QUEER QUEEN REBECCA BLACK RELEASES NEW TRACK “SICK TO MY STOMACH”
“This has been Rebecca Black’s year. She came, she saw, she slayed. The Mexican-American queer creator is re-writing her narrative, and reclaiming her life as her own – each step takes her closer to her goal, and there’s a colossal online audience urging her forwards.” - Clash Magazine
Beloved internet queen, singer and songwriter Rebecca Black (@msrebeccablack) will officially release her debut album “Let Her Burn” on February 9th (pre-save).
The third offering from the studio-album arrives today, “Sick To My Stomach” which sees the Mexican-American queer creator delve into the complexity of moving on. The heartfelt track highlights the familiar tinge of sickening jealousy when seeing an ex with someone new, even when you’re the one to encourage the action – WATCH HERE
“I wrote “Sick To My Stomach” days after running into my ex for the first time in months and finding out she was seeing someone new” Rebecca shares the inspiration for writing the track. “The punch in the gut that comes with the revelation that you’re no longer the center of someone’s universe is forever one of the most painful blows, so this song is as petty as it is devastating.”
Earlier offerings from “Let Her Burn,” tracks "Crumbs" and "Look At You," showcase Rebecca Black’s versatility as an artist and of the project. "Crumbs" is a hypnotic, electro-pop track, which stole attention from the fans and tastemakers alike, including MTV who called it a “cherry, yet chaotic taste of her upcoming debut studio album” and PAPER who acknowledged Rebecca Black’s journey from “victim of meme culture to master of virality.” "Look At You" highlights a more intimate, vulnerable side, described by Billboard as “equal parts confessional and rallying, the electric riffs help Black’s delicate, airy vocals hit home.”
Off the heels of her first headline tour in North America, selling out rooms across major markets, and taking the ‘Rebecca Black Was Here’ tour overseas to sell out the press proclaimed, internet “sweetheart”/“dream queen”/“mainstay”’s first European headline tour kicks off her “Let Her Burn” UK/Ireland Tour on February 4th in Dublin and tours Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, London and Bristol ((more info and tickets here))!
In 2021, the 10 year anniversary of RIAA Gold- “Friday” saw the release of the internet-breaking “Friday” remix with friends Dorian Electra, Big Freedia, and 3OH!3 and Rebecca Black was officially reborn as an underground pop icon. “Let’s say you want to rewrite your past. Write it over, like an old hard drive. Take a thing that made you well know, and reclaim it,” noted Jon Caramanica from The New York Times, who called the fan offering a “...a chaotic, loopy, joyful, meta-hyperpop remix…” which it is!
Rebecca Black released her first project ((‘Rebecca Black Was Here)) 10 years after her viral debut, which sent fans into a frenzy, followed by high level acknowledgements.
