A Complicated Woman

A Complicated Woman is the third studio album by British singer-songwriter Self Esteem (Rebecca Lucy Taylor), released on April 25, 2025, through Polydor Records. Following the huge success of her 2021 breakthrough album Prioritise Pleasure, Taylor returns with a fearless, genre-bending pop record that dives deep into themes of empowerment, vulnerability, self-doubt, and desire. With her signature theatrical flair and raw honesty, A Complicated Woman feels both intensely personal and universally relatable.

The album features 12 tracks, including powerful standouts like “Mother,” “The Curse,” and “Focus Is Power,” the latter featuring a stirring collaboration with the House Gospel Choir. Taylor also brings in fresh energy with guest appearances from Moonchild Sanelly, Nadine Shah, and Sue Tompkins, enriching the album’s exploration of identity, resilience, and the messy beauty of being human.

To mark the album’s release, Self Esteem staged an ambitious four-night residency at London’s Duke of York’s Theatre, where she combined live performance with theatrical storytelling, bringing the record’s bold themes to life in an unforgettable way. Fans can grab A Complicated Woman on all major streaming platforms, as well as in physical formats like CD, digital download, and a striking limited-edition black-and-white vinyl LP.

With this project, Rebecca Lucy Taylor cements her place as one of pop’s most important and unapologetic voices, delivering a body of work that’s as complex, vibrant, and fearless as the title suggests.
