Self Esteem shares new single 'If Not Now, It's Soon', announces UK & Ireland tour

As the release of her third album draws ever closer, Self Esteem has now shared another preview of it in the form of ‘If Not Now, It’s Soon’.

The third cut to be taken from her forthcoming new full-length ‘A Complicated Woman’ - which is set to land on 25th April via Polydor Records - her latest track follows on from her previous releases, the optimism-imbued ‘Focus Is Power’ and sexy and sassy cut ‘69’, and is a quintessential Self Esteem call-to-arms to give yourself some much-needed grace and patience. 

“Personally, you have to wait and one day you’ll get somewhere less painful,” Rebecca Lucy Taylor has commented, of the track, which also features an emboldened spoken word section  by Julie Hesmondalgh aka Corrie’s Hayley Cropper. “But the world will hopefully get somewhere less painful too. It’s about hope, perseverance and patience!”

Alongside the release of her newest single, our former double cover star RLT has also announced details of her biggest UK and Ireland headline tour to date. She’ll be heading out on the road in support of ‘A Complicated Woman’ this September and October for a fourteen-date run that’ll culminate with a huge hometown show at Sheffield’s Utilita Arena. Tickets will go on general sale for the tour from 10am this Friday 28 March.
