Self Esteem released her fourth studio album 'A Complicated Woman'

Self Esteem AKA Rebecca Lucy Taylor today releases her eagerly anticipated and already hugely acclaimed new album A Complicated Woman.

A Complicated Woman is the follow up to the hugely acclaimed BRIT and Mercury Prize-nominated 2021 album Prioritise Pleasure - an album of the year everywhere from the Guardian to the Sunday Times.

A Complicated Woman contains all Taylor’s musical thumbprints – complex thought processes unfolding in real time, an effortless knack of exposing the feelings women are required to labour under – but set on a larger, brighter landscape that is nothing short of exhilarating. Running through the album is a jubilant choir constructed of dozens and dozens of mostly female voices - “a community of people. I want you to hear and feel the connection” - including close friends, her band and collaborators, that includes - but is not limited to - singer-songwriters Nadine Shah, Moonchild Sanelly and Sue Tompkins from Life Without Buildings; Meatball and a bona fide Lancaster legend, the actress Julie Hesmondhalgh.

Her new single - the album’s widescreen closing track - ‘The Deep Blue Okay’ was debuted by Huw Stephens last night on his BBC 6 Music show and is available to stream and download now, alongside a video by regular collaborator Piers Dennis.

Last week Self Esteem completed a seven-show, five-night run of A Complicated Woman Live - a unique and theatrical presentation of her forthcoming new album at the intimate Duke Of York’s Theatre in London. The entire run of shows sold out within minutes of going on sale and was praised in a string of rave reviews, with The London Standard calling it “slick, ambitious and innovative but also bursting with heart, this show… underlines Self Esteem as a true one-of-a-kind” in a five star review, whilst Rolling Stone UK - also awarding the show five stars - simply asked: “Is there anything Rebecca Lucy Taylor can’t do?”

Self Esteem embarks upon her biggest tour to date this autumn, taking in 14 shows across the UK and Ireland, including two nights each at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom, Manchester Academy, Bristol Beacon and London’s O2 Academy Brixton. Tickets are on sale now.
