Self Esteem, whose real name is Rebecca Lucy Taylor, is a 35-year-old English singer-songwriter who you need to have on your radar. Previously dedicated to her band Slow Club, Taylor went solo and released her first single, "Your Wife" as Self Esteem in 2017.
After a couple of UK tours and three albums later, Self Esteem started to gain traction in 2021 when her album "Prioritise Pleasure" was ranked the best album of 2021 by The Guardian, The Sunday Times, and Gigwise. Taylor was nominated for best British Breakthrough Act at the Brit Awards in 2022, and her fan base has grown rapidly since.
This isn't the first time Self Esteem has performed at BST Hyde Park. She supported Florence + The Machine back in 2019, so is a dab hand at the big event.
Never heard her music? Start with "I Do This All The Time", "You Forever" and "Prioritise Pleasure". You won't regret it.
