Product Information

Rebecca has sold out tours in ever-growing venues across the UK, and been nominated for Best New Artist at the BRIT Awards and Best Album at the prestigious Mercury Awards. with Jools Holland, [95] the Graham Norton Show, [96] Jools' Annual Hootenanny [97] and The Late Late Show with James Corden. But I also think it is too late, there’s no going back: my USP is that it’s me and this is unfortunately what I am.

Some of these slogans derive from Self Esteem lyrics and others make related political and artistic statements. Her main interests as a child were music, dance [3] and cricket [5] [6] and she has described herself as a "choir nerd" while at school. In the video for her single I Do This All The Time, she is seen hugging herself while reciting the words: " Don't be intimidated by all the babies they have / Don't be embarrassed that all you've had is fun / Prioritise pleasure. In a comedy sketch that was released to promote her 2019 debut Compliments Please, Rebecca Lucy Taylor is grilled about the imagined impact of the album 20 years on (it was so great, it “destroyed music as we know it”). The tracks were arranged for the Royal Northern Sinfonia by Robert Ames, who also served as conductor, and Matt Rogers.

Self Esteem's radical guide to self-love: 'I stopped equating "being good" with being "what men wanted"' ". On 21 July, Taylor performed at the opening night of the BBC Proms festival in Sage Gateshead, the BBC's first outside of London. She rails against snobbery in music, gushes about the power of drag, happily discusses whether or not she’d shag a certain early Noughties crooner (she would) and talks about trying to seduce a pre-mega stardom Calvin Harris to get back at an ex-boyfriend.

Please take this tenner off me so you don’t dislike me’” – but it’s a trait Self Esteem has helped her come to terms with. Shears and Taylor will take over their roles from Mason Alexander Park and Maude Apatow respectively. Taylor has been a supporter of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club since a child, a club that her great-grandfather played for. Taylor recorded one of the tracks, "How Can I Help You" in 2019, before the 2020 coronavirus pandemic lockdown.Not with Logan though – the reason he succeeds in constantly being in charge is maybe because he’s the only one who isn’t cowardly. Jessie Atkinson of Gigwise concluded that Prioritise Pleasure "represents Rebecca Taylor reaching her well-deserved pinnacle, as a modern popstar with the whole package: voice, humour, choreography, honesty, looks and the uncanny ability to pen a banger". Taylor, meanwhile, left her first band, the indie-folk duo Slow Club, to begin a solo career as Self Esteem, producing ambitious, experimental pop that has drawn comparisons with Fiona Apple. I was so scared of pissing [Watson] off – not because he inspired that in me; that’s just what I’m like.

Taylor is a solo female whose flag of reckless good sense waves so high and so proud, you would strongly consider following her into battle. Praised for its fearless ability to tackle important issues around female autonomy, comparison culture and self-love, its intimate, confessional and witty lyricism and anthemic maximalist pop rhythms, the album was a catalyst for an unprecedented few years for Taylor. It’s hard being from Rotherham and saying this but I’m an artist, I wake up every day and want to make art. When Taylor realised she’d turned up to an awards show without her shoes, she wondered: does Rita ever have to consider going on stage in Crocs? Knowing that some of these people with whom she sweated and stayed sane (well, sort of) will be in the audience of her shows is also pretty magical: “I just want it to feel like a big, loving party.She has also been recognised with a photographic portrait hung in the National Portrait Gallery in London. Back then, it was widespread consensus the next time we'd see her in 0121 would be in a far larger venue. The venues may have grown, the costume changes multiplied, but her DIY approach to stardom proves you don’t need an enormous budget and corporate production sheen to create stadium-sized energy and emotion. At the end of the track is a voice recording of young women discussing strategies for staying safe on the streets, a recording made by Taylor at a National Youth Theatre drama school that she worked on.
