Rebecca Black is back with a vengeance. The pop provocateur and queer cult icon has unveiled her sophomore album, SALVATION, set for release on January 17, 2025. Leading the charge is her hypnotic new single, “Sugar Water Cyanide,” a club-ready anthem blending pulsating basslines with hedonistic, sensory-driven lyrics that demand the volume be cranked to the max.
“‘Sugar Water Cyanide’ is like if my drug of choice were a person,” Black shares. “This is one of those songs that feels as though it’s been inside of me my whole life and was waiting for the right day and time to pour out.” The track captures a chaotic, seductive energy, with Black’s addictive chant, “Hit, hit, pop it, pop it, pop it, pop it, pop it, ride,” making it a must-listen for any party playlist.
The single follows “TRUST!,” another edgy banger teasing the album’s bold, evolved sound. These releases showcase a more daring Rebecca, building on the reinvention that began with her 2023 debut album, Let Her Burn.
A fixture in both underground and mainstream music scenes, the Mexican-American singer-songwriter has dominated stages at festivals like Portola and Coachella, while her DJ sets have solidified her as a force on the club circuit. She’s collaborated with artists like Slayyyter and MØ, earning praise for her unapologetic artistry and boundary-pushing sound.
Black’s career began with the viral phenomenon “Friday,” but she’s since transformed into a multidimensional pop star celebrated for her authenticity and advocacy. Her commitment to mental health, LGBTQ+ rights, and anti-bullying initiatives continues to inspire a generation of fans.
With Salvation and its addictive lead single, Rebecca Black proves she’s not just riding the wave of pop culture—she’s shaping it.
