Self Esteem recruits drag queen Meatball for new single, "69"

“I always wanted to write a song that lists sex positions and rates them,” explains Taylor. “A lot of my music is saying the things I struggle to say in real life. I like the idea of clearly communicating your needs in one quick, three-minute house song. It is also political – women still are expected to cater to others sexually; I can’t hear another discussion about ‘faking it’, it upsets me too much! There’s enough inequality in the male/ female dynamic as it is. Our bodies go through so much more pain and suffering, please god let us get the pleasure where we can!”

The song features a guest appearance from legendary drag queen, Meatball. “I’d already written the song and then months later my all-time favourite drag queen Meatball said pretty much the same on her podcast Sloppy Seconds, and I knew it had to make the album!” says Taylor.

The forthcoming album is the follow up to the BRIT and Mercury Prize-nominated 2021 album, Prioritise Pleasure.
