About this event
Rebecca Lucy Taylor AKA Self Esteem is one of the most exciting voices of her generation. Emerging from cult favourite to mainstream hero in the space of five whirlwind years, she enters 2026 as a bona fide triple threat in music, literature and acting. 2025 saw the release of her hugely acclaimed third album and debut book, both titled A Complicated Woman. Her second album Prioritise Pleasure received Mercury Prize, BRIT Award, Sky Arts and NME Award nominations and was crowned The Guardian and Sunday Times Culture’s Album of the Year, with the song ‘I Do This All The Time’ named The Guardian’s number one song of 2021. Gathering a passionate and vast legion of fans ever since, Taylor has appeared on The Graham Norton Show, Celebrity Gogglebox, Friday Night Live, performed three times on Jools Holland including the NYE Hootenanny, graced the covers of magazines from Grazia to NME to Sunday Times Style, and is one of a handful of artists to have been playlisted across BBC Radio 1, 2 and 6 Music simultaneously.
