“It’s Friday, it’s Friday. We have to get off on Friday.” The lyrics to Rebecca Black’s 2011 breakout single “Friday” are still playing in our heads as we reach the end of the work celebration. 14 years later, the track is still a hit, so it’s no surprise that this month Bombay Sapphire officially received the brand partnership treatment, continuing to taste like a Friday campaign featuring black and its sparkling lemon cocktail. In addition to the nostalgic hit remixed version, the bright, citrus drink fully encapsulates the lighthearted weekend that California natives feel they’ve sang years ago.
Yes, “Friday” has returned in a big way, but so has blacks thanks to her new EP Salvation. With this release, the artist is her authentic self. It’s not suppressed and is finally ready to share all your versions of yourself with pop anthems like the title tracks “Salvation” and “Sugar Water Cyanide.” Black is the one who is most confident in its bold lyrics, impressive visualizers, and equally gorgeous fashion aesthetics. The weekend playlists have improved.

Congratulations on the release of Salvation! How does this EP reflect who you are now, as an artist and personally, and where?
