Thanks for visiting! Welcome to my conversation with Rebecca Lucy Taylor, recorded on 9th December 2020.
[Content warning: some friendly swears.]
In this conversation, we discuss:
- how becoming a solo artist and making exactly the work she wanted drastically changed Rebecca’s mental health
- how dancing brought RLT back to her body, bridging the gap between Slow Club and Self Esteem and bringing her joy
- becoming a badge entrepreneur – how designing badges and fulfulling her own merch during lockdown has helped Rebecca feel useful (despite having the handwriting of a little naughty boy”!)
- the pros and cons of relentless touring, and how that changes as you grow older and wiser
- leaving no surface unstatemented – how RLT is making up for lost time after years of not being able to say what she meant
Explore Rebecca’s work:
- Listen to “In Time” (from the album “Compliments Please”)
- Listen to “In Waves” by Slow Club
- Listen to “Favourite Problem” (from the “Cuddles Please” EP)
