NEWS: Self Esteem returns with uplifting new single and new tour dates

Alt-pop hit-maker Self Esteem has released a new single ‘I do this all the time‘ that takes a new route from her usual stylings of catchy as heck, sing-a-long goodness, a spoken word track that sounds a little bit like an alternate reality in which Kate Tempest was part of All Saints in the early noughties.

In ‘I do this all the time‘ Self Esteem reinforces how it’s ok to not conform to societal norms.  The self directed video, shot at the Almeida Theatre in London, features Rebecca Lucy Taylor (aka Self Esteem) speaking candidly to the camera and hugging someone before dancing passionately.

Speaking about her new music Taylor says:

All my upcoming work is exploring how complicated it is to just be a human.  I’m wonderful and I’m terrible. I hurt people and people hurt me. I feel everything and nothing.  It’s a shit laugh but then it can be quite jolly can’t it.  The video is the first chance to spot one of the many easter eggs for Self Esteem purists as well as the rather on the nose metaphor of me hugging myself – much like Elton John in the movie rocket man does. enjoy!”

 

She has also announced an array of UK tour dates, the majority of which are scheduled for November this year:
