Self Esteem
Self Esteem, the bold solo alias of Rebecca Lucy Taylor, fuses indie grit with maximalist pop, evolving from Slow Club's folk-tinged indie into a riotous, confessional force.
Her sound channels Devo's quirky energy, Elbow's anthemic swells, Taylor Swift's razor-sharp introspection, and First Aid Kit's harmonious depth, all laced with theatrical flair honed in her West End Cabaret stint as Sally Bowles. Debuting with 2019's Compliments Please and peaking on 2021's Mercury-nominated Prioritise Pleasure (a feminist manifesto of snarling beats, spoken-word therapy, and self-love anthems like "I Do This All The Time") she prioritises raw vulnerability over polish. Her 2025 follow-up, A Complicated Woman, dials up choral spectacle and witty takedowns of toxic men, blending campy sex raps with stadium-ready catharsis. Distinct for her unfiltered humour, genre-defying weirdness, and galvanising sorority, Self Esteem redefines alt-pop as empowering rebellion in a youth-obsessed industry.
