Album Review: Self Esteem – A Complicated Woman
How could Rebecca Lucy Taylor, aka Self Esteem, possibly follow up on the sheer barnstorming odyssey of pop honesty of 2021’s Prioritise Pleasure?
The answer is with abundant ease upon the release of her third album, A Complicated Woman, on Polydor Records that summons the themes and styles that pushed the Self Esteem cream to the top - a blend of spoken word mantras, and alt-dance pop.

Interview: bilk
With their second album scheduled for release on the 24th of January 2025, indie rock trio Bilk are ready to get back on the road and the stage.
