Self Esteem - Compliments Please (Deluxe) (2019) Hi Res

The full length album from Self Esteem, otherwise known as Rebecca Lucy Taylor. We've been big fans for a long while and she's played in Kingston plenty of times as part of Slow Club - we can't wait to hear how she has transformed her powerhouse songwriting for this solo album.

Since her musical divergence from the band, Rebecca has revelled in unleashing a whole version of herself with no compromises, no reducing herself, no hesitating. She would go on to write the songs that had been rising up inside her all through the years - big songs, that spoke of love and sex and chaos, that brought in huge basslines, gospel choirs, the kind of polished, provocative production she admired on the biggest pop records.

"Compliments, Please is equal parts endlessly-playable to laugh-at-yourself relatable; a perfect pop dynamic which is so rarely struck. Taylor isn’t afraid to show the listener a good time – all the while delivering sparks of a gut-punching honesty. As a musician, she’s taken a bold step out of the shadow of her past musical endeavours and stands proud. Despite it being her debut release, Taylor is no burgeoning star: she’s fully blossomed and ready to take on the world – one self-assured banger at a time." (Madeleine Dunne)
