Rebecca Black – Friday. Single
Thought Justin Bieber was the antichrist? Clearly you’ve haven’t heard thirteen year old Rebecca Black’s latest single “Friday”. Currently a Youtube sensation (topping nine million views to date), Black has taken taste to a new low, utilising every appalling production technique in pop’s vast arsenal to create her opus. Containing lyrical gems such as “Tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes after...wards” and “Oo-ooh-ooh, hoo yeah, yeah” sung in a grating autotuned-to-shit prepubescent tone, Rebecca Black is the current chart equivalent of nails on a blackboard. With her video featuring pre-teens adorned with braces and school bags and wanting to party (seriously, how do thirteen year olds party?), not enough can be said about the horrors of this track. However things hit their real high (low) when an unnamed, un-credited MC enters the fray to attempt to give the track “street cred”. THE FUCK? Listen at your own peril.
