Details

• 'Still Reigning' continues the song 'She Reigns' from Self Esteem's first album 'Compliments Please' (2019).   
  
  
• Taylor is such a big fan of Queen that she designed her logo to look like the signature of Freddie Mercury.
  
  
• The music on 'Prioritise Pleasure' is brash, bold, pulsing, sexual and self-indulgent. It tells a story of a woman realising her lifestyle of late nights and casual sex that aren't bringing her happiness and the narrative thread of one song carries over into the next. 'I Do This All the Time' literally ends mid-verse. By the end of the album, there's a sense of hard-earned personal growth and self-acceptance, made valuable because of the bruises picked up on the way.
