Rebecca Taylor of Self Esteem chats to 6 Music DJ and psychotherapist Nemone

Self Esteem's Rebecca Lucy Taylor shares the songs that have sound-tracked the ups and downs of her life, and how she expresses emotions through her own music and lyrics.

Self Esteem's Rebecca Lucy Taylor opens up about the songs that have sound-tracked the ups and downs of her life, and how she expresses thoughts, feelings and emotions through her own music and lyrics. Talking to Nemone, who combines her roles of DJ and integrative psychotherapist, Rebecca dives deep and shares the discoveries she has made about herself along the way. The inspiration for her Self Esteem stage name comes from the evolution of her confidence during her 20s.

Rebecca was previously a member of indie folk-pop duo Slow Club, which formed in Sheffield in 2006 and split in 2017. That same year Rebecca released 'Your Wife', her first single under the Self Esteem moniker. Her debut album under the name Compliments Please was released in 2019.

2021 has been a turning point for the multi-instrumentalist. In April Rebecca released the stunningly honest single "I Do This All The Time", a warts-and-all anthem that was released to wide-spread critical acclaim. Her forthcoming album 'Prioritise Pleasure鈥�, is set for release later this month and is an experimental-pop album which tackles topics such as toxic relationships and the insidious effects of the patriarchy. It's also danceable and infectiously fun.

In this programme Rebecca talks to Nemone about how it felt not "fitting in" as a child, her experiences of being a woman, discovering her bi-sexuality, and what therapy has taught her, and features music from Alanis Morissette, Queen, Peter Gabriel, Kanye West, Katy Perry, Richard Hawley and a 'self-care' track from Van Morrison.
