“I wrote ‘Donald Glover’ a while ago and just felt like it had to be released in the summer. I made the beat for it and wrote the lyrics on the same day. I call the song, ‘Donald Glover’ because he is one of my main inspirations. He’s one of the reasons why I started making music and acting, and I felt it made sense to include his name in the song.”

RELEASES NEW SINGLE & VIDEO 'MOTORCYCLE'
HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SOPHOMORE ALBUM BIG IDEAS OUT JULY 12TH VIA EMI RECORDS
Self Esteem returns with her first new music since the release of her wildly acclaimed BRIT and Mercury Prize-nominated 2021 album Prioritise Pleasure. Her new single ‘Big Man’ is a collaboration with South African trailblazer Moonchild Sanelly and explores the nuances of modern masculinity and gender roles. ‘Big Man’ was premiered as Hottest Record In The World on BBC Radio 1 and arrives with Self Esteem’s brightest and boldest music video yet; concept by Self Esteem, directed by Piers Dennis and produced by Ayomide Alli and Precious Mahaga. Opening with a nod to Queen’s iconic ‘I Want To Break Free’ visuals, it sees the duo take on household chores historically regarded as ‘women's work’ in style.
One of the UK’s most exciting breakout stars of the past decade, Rebecca Lucy Taylor, AKA Self Esteem emerged from cult favourite status to mainstream hero across a whirlwind year following the huge success of her empowering, truth-telling 2021 single ‘I Do This All The Time’. The song resonated intensely as a perfect example of Taylor’s affectionately termed ‘trojan horse’ or ‘salad and chips’ approach, fearlessly packing important, emotive messages into witty, resonant pop music.
Self Esteem’s wildly acclaimed second album Prioritise Pleasure quickly followed, tackling the hypocrisies and joys found in her experiences of modern day womanhood across dating, friendship, comparison culture, self love, women’s safety and sexual assault and much more. Prioritise Pleasure received Mercury Prize, BRIT Award, Sky Arts and NME Award nominations, was crowned The Guardian and Sunday Times Culture’s Album of the Year, and ‘I Do This All The Time’ was also named The Guardian’s #1 song of 2021.

Having seen them play a few times in the past, once back in the heyday of Britpop where they supported an even bigger band from the Britpop camp, in Bristol on their 2022 tour where they celebrated 25 years of ‘The IT Girl’ and last year at the ‘SHIIINE ON’ festival in Minehead (Butlins has never looked so alive in mid November!) The thought of watching them play a paired back set containing many of their classics that had been pushed through the re-work sonic sausage machine was enticing, so much so, I trudged up to The Phoenix in the heart of Exeter city to have a gander.
