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 stars of the last decade, with Grammy and Mercury nominations under her belt. Her music is a blend of bold, genre-crossing pop and sharp lyrics. She is also an actress, with roles such as 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 burnout to depression to sexuality. She is currently on a European tour, with a stop at the Pitchfork festival in Paris.
