Description
Self Esteem returns with her third studio album, A Complicated Woman her first album since the BRIT & Mercury-nominated Prioritise Pleasure, which was previously been crowned The Guardian & Sunday Times Cultures Album of the Year.
One of the UKs most exciting breakout stars of the past decade, Rebecca Lucy Taylor AKA Self Esteem emerged from cult favourite status to mainstream hero following the huge success of her empowering, truth-telling 2021 single I Do This All The Time. The song resonated intensely as a perfect example of Taylors affectionately termed trojan horse or salad and chips approach, fearlessly packing important, emotive messages into witty, resonant pop music.
Self Esteems wildly acclaimed second album ‘Prioritise Pleasure’ quickly followed, tackling the hypocrisies and joys found in her experiences of modern day womanhood across dating, friendship, comparison culture, self love, womens safety and sexual assault and much more. ‘Prioritise Pleasure’ received Mercury Prize, BRIT Award, Sky Arts and NME Award nominations, was crowned The Guardian and Sunday Times Cultures Album of the Year, and I Do This All The Time was also named The Guardians #1 song of 2021.
Quite the opposite of an overnight success, Taylor spent a decade as one half of indie duo Slow Club before adopting the pop star persona shed always dreamed of. She released her first Self Esteem album ‘Compliments Please’ in 2019, featuring fan favourite singles The Best, Girl Crush and more.
Gathering a passionate and vast legion of fans ever since, Taylor has appeared on The Graham Norton Show, Celebrity Gogglebox, Friday Night Live & Taskmaster, performed three times on Jools Holland including the NYE Hootenanny, graced the covers of magazines from Grazia to NME to Sunday Times Style, and is one of a handful of artists to have been playlisted across BBC Radio 1, 2 and 6 Music simultaneously.
