Rebecca Black has welcomed the return of "unhinged pop star energy".

The 29-year-old singer - who rose to fame in 2011, when her debut single Friday went viral on YouTube and various social media sites - believes the pop industry is stood on the brink of a new era, and Rebecca has welcomed the change.

The pop star - who has filmed a new music video for Speakerphone, her single - explained to Bustle: "Fergalicious is one of my favourite songs in the world. There's a scene in the video where they're dressed as Girl Scouts and dancing in tandem, and that was one of my influences for the Speakerphone video.

"I just love Fergie. I think the world deserves a big Fergie renaissance soon. No one was doing it like she was back in the day.

"There was this unhinged pop star energy there that we're starting to get back to. So that feels like one of the best music videos of all time. It's so wild and bombastic, and very clearly conceptualised at the same time."

Rebecca has admitted to feeling inspired by the likes of Fergie and Gwen Stefani.

The singer loves the "performance art element" of pop stardom.

She shared: "Fergie and Gwen Stefani are definitely both huge north poles, just in terms of how they approached their pop stardom and their artistic choices.

"This performance art element of being a pop star is really what excites me as a pop fan, and it's something I'm wondering about my own relationship to as an artist. I remember talking a lot about Fergie even with someone like my dad. He's a 70-year-old white guy from Iowa who lives in Orange County, but he likes to think of himself as a pop music aficionado -- he did introduce me to Lana Del Rey in 2011, so we'll give him that.

"I remember telling him how I felt so connected to the mess that Fergie was. The mess was a very specific kind of mess. It felt very feral, like she just had these creative urges to do something so intensely. And she would just do it!"
