Rebecca Black Seeks Justice on ‘TRUST!’
Rebecca Black’s “TRUST!” music videos opens in court, as influencers take the stand talking about what they love, hate and admire about the pop star.
In the Mean Girls-style opening monologue, one person says, “Boiler rooms used to be cool, then Rebecca Black ruined them,” while another claims she slept with Elon Musk. The hilarious testimonies break away to show Black masked up, flashing lights and bodies surrounding her, as an intense dance beat grows behind the pop star and DJ, eventually breaking into a full-on choreographed dance routine in front of the judge.
“It felt only right to kick off the next project with the loudest and brashest track I’ve put out yet,” Black tells PAPER, “and ‘TRUST!’ embodies the essence of the fearlessness in this project better than anything.”
To bring the spicy dance video to life, Black worked with Director Olivia De Camps, telling PAPER that it was “so seamless from the jump because she really understood the vision I had, not only for this song, but for the entire project.” Black also says that the heart of her upcoming project is about “tapping into this essence of delusion of grandeur and glamour that led the writing process for me. Everything I breathe is laced with camp these days and this concept felt like turning a narrative on its head in a fierce and unapologetic way.”
“TRUST!” follows Black’s viral Boiler Room performance. The star has come a long way since her hit “Friday” more than a decade ago, and, judging by this club-ready track and recent exploits, she’s gearing up to share a project that’s sure to get people talking (and dancing).
