"Assured and unapologetic, it's charged with a dark, smirking wit that's impossible to turn away from, and achieves an incredibly impressive feat: not only does Self Esteem detail the fear, uneasiness and anger of being a woman - keys clutched between our fists - but also manages to make us laugh at the sheer absurdity of being forced to navigate a world that has, quite unbelievably, normalised misogyny".

"The sound of an artist coming into her own, Rebecca Taylor's remarkable second album as Self Esteem mixes the intimate and conversational with the unabashedly dramatics".

"Prioritise Pleasure. It's quite the album title, but don't shrug it off as a "Live, Love, Laugh" for millennials. Rebecca Lucy Taylor, aka Self Esteem, knows what she's doing. For nearly five years, she's performed under a name often stripped of substance in wellbeing culture's more sanitised highways and byways. She doesn't care. She fills that phrase up with blood, dirt and grit, uses it as a way to lead people into her world before she confronts them with their more shambolic, truer selves".
