Self Esteem is Rebecca Lucy Taylor, and a project which began with painting and prints and video alongside her day job writing and performing as one half of Slow Club. Since her musical divergence from the band, Rebecca has revelled in unleashing a whole version of herself with no compromises, no reducing herself, no hesitating. She would go on to write the songs that had been rising up inside her all through the years — big songs, that spoke of love and sex and chaos, that brought in huge basslines, gospel choirs, the kind of polished, provocative production she admired on the biggest pop records.

2019 was a stellar year for Self Esteem, a sold out headline tour in the Autumn, and performances all across the UK throughout the year, including shows at Glastonbury, All Points East and Latitude festivals to name a few, as well as support slots with Florence and the Machine in London and Edinburgh, culminating with a tour of intimate piano shows.

Self Esteem’s highly regarded debut album, Compliments Please, was released in March to a raft of glowing reviews from the likes of The Guardian (“sly, covetous pop”), Financial Times (“lithe electronic pop”), Uncut (“a heady emotional brew of pain, thwarted lust and giddy pride”), Drowned In Sound, Clash, The Line of Best Fit, DIY, Dork and more. Compliments Please (Deluxe) is out now via Fiction Records.
