Mar 5, 2019With Compliments Please, Taylor reclaims the path that the industry had laid out for a pretty girl in an indie band--and she proves, with ample sauciness and class, that strong independent women aren’t just riding trends to cash out. This is metaphorical gold.
-
Mar 1, 2019Her love of hip hop is imbued in the very core of Compliments Please, shirking much of the folkish arrangements of Slow Club for a sound far bolder, and at 16 tracks strong it is clear that Taylor is not short of ideas.
-
Mar 1, 2019This full-frontal approach could become too much, but Taylor balances her forcefulness with elegant and impactful production that veers from bluesy experimentalism to psychedelic soul.
-
Mar 1, 2019Vocally and lyrically charged, Self Esteem’s debut is one that takes several paths in its journey, revealing Taylor as a remarkable vocalist and a powerful lyricist.
-
Mar 4, 2019Even at 16 tracks (including the little spoken word interludes that scatter the album), it never seems too long or self-indulgent.
-
Mar 28, 2019Reinvented and revitalised, rightly Taylor has taken her position as a real pop star and this album is a brilliant opening salvo.
