Music show: Self Esteem is witty and wise on ‘A Complicated Woman’

In this edition of our arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim chats with Rebecca Lucy Taylor, aka Self Esteem. She’s one of the UK’s most exciting breakout stars of the last decade, with Grammy and Mercury nominations under her belt. Her music is a mix of bold, genre-blending pop and razor-sharp lyrics. She’s also an actress, with roles including Sally Bowles in the West End production of “Cabaret”. Self Esteem’s third album “A Complicated Woman” is her most theatrical and truthful record to date, exploring the complexities of womanhood – from burnouts to depression to sexuality. She’s currently on a European tour, with a stop at Paris’s Pitchfork festival.
