Swiftologist x Rebecca Black Interview: I Have Total Control And It Cost Everything

Rebecca Black sits down with me to talk about her new album Age of the Exhibitionist, surviving "Friday" to become a cult DJ, and staying independent without a label — this is Proto Pop.

We get into making the album with zero major label backing, opening for Katy Perry's arena tour, why DJing funds her music videos, and the meaning behind "Anaheim Star," "Visions Again," and "Corsetry." We also talk stan culture, post-truth internet discourse, and her pop star Mount Rushmore (Fergie made the cut).

Proto Pop is co-produced by Zachary Hourihane & FWB Talent, edited by Tyler Murphy, and styled by Michael Kirreh, with research by Bianca Brock.
