Interview: Self Esteem - Prioritise This

In the videos for the singles, we see Taylor and her backing band dressed in all-black, a clear and noted tribute to Madonna, particularly her 1990 Blond Ambition tour. “She really put on a show and she worked fucking hard,” Taylor affirms. “And it wasn’t saying nothing; it was so fucking politically radical to be a woman that loved herself, her body, her sex life – and look how much it ruffled people’s feathers. It’s pathetic. I’m endlessly inspired by her because I’m a woman who has been told to shut up her whole life.”

I had the pleasure of writing the cover story of the latest issue of Cene, an interview with the one and only Rebecca Lucy Taylor aka Self Esteem. Unsurprisingly, she was full of fantastic quotes. You can read the interview here, or flick through the digital mag here.
