The idea of spitting in the face of the expectations of life seems sexy, right? But what does that actually look like? What does it take to live that out? Northern English musician Rebecca Lucy Taylor lives that truth throughout Self Esteem, a subversive pop project that goes there. The songs of her second album, Prioritise Pleasure, highlights why trying to live up to societal expectations will always be unfulfilling and instead, we should aim to warmly embrace our “flaws.” A unique quality about Rebecca is how she both doesn’t give a shit and deeply gives a shit about what you think, and that duality beautifully comes across on this episode. We recorded this onsite at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn, and together we chat about women’s liberation, the slog of dating apps, periods and we even get into some word association (no really). If you’re in the UK, be sure to catch Self Esteem on tour, visit selfesteem.love for all tour dates.
