Self Esteem releases new single ‘Big Man’ with Moonchild Sanelly

Self Esteem has unveiled her new single ‘Big Man’, in collaboration with South African musician Moonchild Sanelly.

The track marks the singer-songwriter’s first music video release since her BRIT and Mercury Prize-nominated 2021 album Prioritise Pleasure.

The release follows a collaboration with Becky Hill on the track ‘True Colours’ last month. Next week, Self Esteem will also be a special guest at Young Fathers’ outdoor hometown show in Stirling City Park, alongside Noname and Petite Noir.

With a music video directed by Piers Dennis, best known for his visual effects work on films such as The Out-Laws and Blindspotting, ‘Big Man’ opens with a nod to Queen’s iconic ‘I Want To Break Free’ visual, and explores the nuances of modern masculinity and gender roles.

Taylor’s widely acclaimed second album Prioritise Pleasure quickly followed, earning her Mercury Prize, BRIT Awards, Sky Arts and NME Award nominations.

Taylor has also branched out into the world of acting, starring in a regular role in the recent Sky series SMOTHERED before completing a run playing Sally Bowles in the multiple Olivier Award-winning production of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club in London's West End.
