More about: Self Esteem

Gigwise cover star Self Esteem continues to make the case for the best album campaign of the year with her new single and video for 'How Can I Help You'. It's the third single taken from Prioritise Pleasure, which is out in October.

More blistering synths, cathartic lyrics and pummelling drums—which Rebecca Taylor plays herself in the self-directed video—make up the single.

"Click for the tits, stay for the feminism" said of the video: "I wanted to play the drums in the video to reclaim how often I used to feel self conscious playing them. The physical act of a woman playing a drum means your tits move - all I ever wanted to do was play but it always came with this fear of being looked at in that way. Now my tits move for me, my song, my video."
