Self Esteem shares new single, "If Not Now, It’s Soon"
Self Esteem – AKA Rebecca Lucy Taylor – has shared "If Not Now, It’s Soon" as the latest preview of her forthcoming album, A Complicated Woman.
"If Not Now, It’s Soon" was partly inspired by Taylor’s years before her rise to fame – a time of hypersexuality, booze and self-destruction that precipitated the creation of Self Esteem. “You wonder who it was who made the choices in that town”, she sings, questioning her treatment of herself, while actress Julie Hesmondalgh gives a call to arms: “Something will happen because it’s got to - it’s not just perseverance we need, it’s patience.”
It is about marrying the two things, Taylor explains: “Personally, you have to wait and one day you’ll get somewhere less painful. But the world will hopefully get somewhere less painful too. It’s about hope, perseverance and patience!”
Self Esteem has also announced her biggest tour to date, taking in 14 shows across the UK and Ireland this autumn, including two nights each at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom, Manchester Academy, Bristol Beacon and London’s O2 Academy Brixton.
A Complicated Woman, is set for release on 25 April via Polydor Records, and is available to pre-order now.
