Rejoice! Self Esteem’s breakout sophomore album Prioritise Pleasure is finally back in stock after much demand, and available to pre-order before its release on March 25th. One of the most remarkable aspects of Self Esteem – AKA Rebecca Lucy Taylor – is her unflinching honesty, which stems from her realisation that to break a personal cycle of trauma-suppression, a laying out instances of her personal experience is required, among them: self-doubt, heartbreak, sexual assault, the urge to compare. For all the gravity of the subject matter, however, Taylor also imbues Prioritise Pleasure with infectious joy.
Taylor time and again reminds her listeners – and herself – that true success begins and ends with self-acceptance, telling your story in the way that only you can, in the process creating an important, vital record that both looks for healing and inspiration – and not many records can lay claim to that.
