Self Esteem - A Complicated Woman

On A Complicated Woman, Self Esteem sharpens her voice into something fearless and unflinchingly direct. Rebecca Lucy Taylor’s latest is a bold, genre-fluid pop record that threads together empowerment, doubt, and desire with theatrical flair and emotional precision. Rich with layered vocals, sharp hooks, and biting lyrical turns, it builds on the confessional power of her breakthrough while pushing into even more expansive territory. As ever, the personal is political, and Taylor’s songwriting strikes a careful balance between vulnerability and command. It’s loud, clever, messy, and true — a portrait of modern womanhood in all its contradictions.
