A warm and inclusive community is essential to the entity that is Self Esteem. “We’re all very obsessed with each other,” she says of her band. “It was always gonna be session musicians – but these people I’ve found, it’s magical.” SE: I just have a laugh with it.

[108] The Albert Hall was an Irish-themed bar in the Nineties/Noughties, a beautiful cavernous place built as a Methodist church in the 1910s. The architecture, with its stained-glass windows and stone seating, gives the gigs here a grandiosity that other venues cannot hope to match. This gives the right acts an opportunity to testify with style and be met with adoration. Murphy, John (18 October 2021). "Self Esteem – Prioritise Pleasure". musicOMH . Retrieved 29 October 2021.

Due to the vagaries of Mancunian public transport in wet weather, the first few minutes of the set by MEGA will remain a mystery, but if its anything like the remainder then she will soon be as big as Self Esteem herself. Relaxed, self-assured, accompanied by a single guitar player, its modern RnB by way of the giants of the Nineties, Badu, Scott, Indie Arie, though the subsonic bass suggested a wider range of influences, a little Burial, a little Afro Funk. A dictionary definition of One to Watch.

She is a star mind you. Commands the stage with an expression of private amusement, vocals drifting through octaves and ranges seemingly without effort, eyes closed to the memories of her own pain, managed by the knowledge that in turning it into art, it’s a least shared with those who need it, who might need to find it. The shared compassion, the ecstatic release, the adoration, this is how you imagine southern gothic churches raising the roof, raising the dead. This was in the end, the happiest of places, a celebration for us all. Taylor has emphasised the importance of her collaborators on Self Esteem, saying "I like to think of [Self Esteem] as a sort of collective of people...I've got this real, like, family which is something I've always dreamed of". [19] Current live band [ edit ] Rebecca Lucy Taylor is better known for her stage moniker Self Esteem. She has been a professional musician for much of her life, and started building the foundations of her solo project, Self Esteem, around 2014. The first Self Esteem single, ‘Your Wife’, was released in 2017, and was followed by the debut album Compliments Please (2019). With the release of spoken-word anthem ‘I Do This All The Time’ in early 2021, Rebecca continued her meteoric rise as Self Esteem; her second solo album, Prioritise Pleasure, followed later in 2021 to critical acclaim, and charted at #11 on the UK Official Albums Chart Top 100. SELF ESTEEM is Rebecca’s first book.Listening to Self Esteem songs, it does feel as though Taylor has the answers that a lot of people are searching for, particularly as we question what we prioritise in a post-Covid world. It is hard-won knowledge, though. As a child of the 80s, a woman and a pretty solid Libra, she “learned to survive by putting everyone else’s needs before mine”, which led to a lot of anger and frustration. “That caused quite a lot of difficult mental health journeys.” The two have a lot in common: both felt stifled and repressed in the heteronormative indie world. “It’s so funny. We were both in indie bands. We both hadn’t come out. Now we’re just like, ‘Wow. How did we ever do that?’” Taylor appeared in series two of I Hate Suzie in 2022, which starred Billie Piper as the title character. [105] She has been announced to be appearing in a new comedy Smothered to be aired in 2023. [106]
