Self Esteem

[broken monkey]

Totally agree. We were there on the Friday night, was almost a religious experience. I hope she's able to capture some of that magic for the tour and festival appearances (Glasto especially). Like you said, new material is ace and can't wait for the album to arrive tomorrow.

[Pipine]

Can you explain a bit more about the show? The reviews don’t give that much away..  I’ve always felt her live shows were kind of religious, such an outpouring of emotion.. I can’t really imagine what next level she’s taken it to.  (But the reviews are all amazing so I know she’s pulled something spectacular off).

Where are we thinking she'll place? Although it seems most likely, half way down the Other seems a bit of a waste.

She is great. I expect she will be at Glasto this year.

Remember seeing her in the BBC introducing tent in the boots advantage cards dress for the first album - brilliant stuff.

 

Saw her there as well as we'd got there early to see the act after (Ed The Dog, not heard from him in a while).

 

She absolutely blew me away,great voice, great tunes.  Was my discovery of the festival that year.

High up on the Park maybe?  Though IMO it would feel a better atmosphere in a tent like Woodsies.  More intimate maybe, would suit her songs better.  Played there in the afternoon a couple of years back.

 

Edit:  just seen the Woodsies poster so we know she's not there!

Basically was a high production, more theatrical version of her previous live shows. 10 person backing group, visual humour, choreography, outfit changes and great pop songs. Think David Byrne crossed with the Handmaid's Tale.

Yeah, this is what lead me to ask 😅. Agree it would've been good to see her in there again.

 

I'd definitely prefer to see her on the Park. Keeping my fingers crossed

An excellent synopsis. I've found it difficult to describe to people without sounding like a w*nker (or making it sound sh*t!)

I loved that Madonna turned up to see the show and tweeted about what an amazing artist she was afterwards.. I bet RLT was over the moon about that, she’s made multiple Madonna references over the years in her outfits, choreography and production.

Giving the new album a play this morning in the office

Looking forward to this one. How is it?

[DL50]

Enjoying the new album a lot! Feels like she’ll be Park headliner or sub or maybe low down Other at this point 

[broken monkey]

Friday headliner for the Park Stage would be a dream, we're without a headliner that night (currently without tickets too - come on Sunday!!)

Its a fab album. Her songs have a great way of making me feel empowered. (I guess its all in the name)

[SwedgeAntilles]

Yup, another terrific record. Bit lighter on bangers compared to Prioritise Pressure but maybe stronger on the sing a long choruses. Will be great live.

Pretty sure someone said Anohi are the Park headliner Friday. 

I’m wondering if she might get a slot on The Pyramid you know. 

[Talcroft]

The album is so good. I could do without If Not Now, bit twee, but the rest is wall to wall bangers. 

 

Guest appearance in the NYC Downlow would be a nice treat too, but dunno if she's too mainstream for them.

Someone mentioned in an interview with Jake Shears about guest appearances to replace Ana Matronic this summer. How perfect would Self Esteem with SS on the Saturday Woodsies be!

Interesting. I think she’d be brilliant Park headliner, but if she’s early doors on Pyramid that means she likely wont clash with anyone else I like and hopefully it gets her the exposure that she deserves, so every cloud. 

[itsfomas]

I feel this album deserves a headliner moment.

Just looking at the arena date in Sheffield. Has the top tier not gone on sale yet? Thinking about getting tickets but might be a slow seller and get a bargain nearer the time.

Sod it. Half way through the album and heard enough to buy tickets. Got block 119 so should be a good view.

Aye, top tier not put on sale yet. TONS of tickets left all over the lower bowl and standing, hope it picks up as the year goes on!
