It all started with a viral music video back in 2011. Now, after the internet’s love-hate relationship with her earworm and a lot of cyberbullying later, Rebecca Black’s latest release, Let Her Burn, shows her growth since “Friday.” The work reflects on everything from lessons learned from friends to embracing her sexuality.

Black discusses the latest album, how her DJ sets differ from her studio experience, and the women topping the charts in the industry today.

GUEST: Rebecca Black, pop artist and DJ
