Self Esteem by Olivia Richardson
Prioritise Pleasure, the second album from Self Esteem, is due in October.
Rebecca Taylor has shared her new Self Esteem single How Can I Help You after its premiere during a session with Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music yesterday.
“How Can I Help You is one of the first songs I wrote for the second album,” the one-time member of Slow Club says.
“After touring the first record and most weeks being told that I am underrated or intimidating I just felt very fed up. I guess I’ll be eternally angry for the way as a woman unless you’re sweet, nice, settled and quiet, you’re considered ‘different’ and ‘difficult’.”
“I wanted to play the drums in the video to reclaim how often I used to feel self conscious playing them. The physical act of a woman playing a drum means your tits move – all I ever wanted to do was play but it always came with this fear of being looked at in that way.”
“Now my tits move for me, my song, my video. I’m also aware it’s probs a nice watch if you’re that way inclined, but I’m afraid if you wanna watch it you have to hear what I’ve got to say. Click for the tits, stay for the feminism!”
