Iconic singer-songwriter delivers biggest UK shows to date

Mark O'Donnell

Self Esteem hits the road this month for a huge UK headline tour in support of her album A Complicated Woman, including a show at the Brighton Centre on Fri 17 Oct.

The alter ego of Rebecca Lucy Taylor, Self Esteem is enjoying 2025 after her new album cemented her place as one of the UK’s most vital and visionary pop voices. A bold, dazzling follow-up to her Mercury and BRIT-nominated breakthrough Prioritise Pleasure (2021), the record has been praised for its expansive soundscapes and its unflinching, relatable explorations of womanhood. Built around a jubilant choir of collaborators and friends, from Nadine Shah and Moonchild Sanelly to drag star Meatball and actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, A Complicated Woman carries the intimacy of Self Esteem’s songwriting into a more communal, celebratory space.
 

Since its release, A Complicated Woman has been embraced by fans and critics alike, with Taylor continuing to expand her reach far beyond music. In 2024 she showcased her acting chops in Sky’s Smothered before making a star turn as Sally Bowles in the West End production of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, sharing the stage with Jake Shears. Already a fixture on magazine covers and national TV, Self Esteem’s cultural impact now spans music, theatre, and screen, while her live performances, from intimate venues to festival stages, continue to offer audiences a sense of power, community, and catharsis. With A Complicated Woman marking yet another high point in a career built on fearlessly telling the truth, Taylor has firmly established herself as one of Britain’s most exciting and uncompromising stars.
