14 DAY TRIAL // Get ready for some “fun fun fun.” After the release of her second single and, admittedly, proving to the entire world that she too can carry a tune, Rebecca Black is getting ready to release her debut album. It drops in stores in August.
In an interview with MTV News, the YouTube sensation says that she was extremely nervous about “My Moment,” her second single, thinking that it could never top the song she became famous with, “Friday.”
She also wanted to prove that she wasn’t just some teen girl auto-tuned into sounding like a singer: she really has the chomps to try and make it big in the industry.
Her debut album, which is yet to receive a name, will hopefully prove that for once and for all.
“The song was written for me,” she says of “My Moment,” which is officially the lead single off her debut album, out in stores next month.
“And it really fit what was going on and all of the bully and hate topic is in right now with songs, and so it fit that as well. It’s a very inspiring song,” Black adds.
After “Friday,” which was dubbed by major music publications the best worst song ever put out, Rebecca had a lot to prove, including that she was a genuine singer and not just a YouTube chick everybody could make fun of.
“Again, I wanted people to able to take me seriously because I felt like this would be the right thing to do. I wanted to start building what could be a really great career, but this industry, it’s so unpredictable,” Rebecca says in the same interview.
“You could be the big thing for a month or four months, and then kind of fall off the face of the planet. And I felt my whole team kind of felt like it was a great way to put me here for an amount of time,” she adds.
