Self Esteem has performed a soulful cover of Fontaines D.C.‘s ‘Starburster’ – watch the new rendition below.

The Rotherham singer unveiled her cover for BBC Radio 1’s New Music Show, where she was accompanied by a full choir.

Beginning with the choir cooing in the background, Self Esteem (real name Rebecca Lucy Taylor) delivered the sing-rapped verse in a quiet, steady tone.

More instruments were introduced as the song slowly progressed, with Taylor’s voice slowly getting louder and louder. The stirring cover culminated in a final breakdown as the drums came in by the last chorus.

Speaking about the cover, Taylor said: “I’m a big Fontaines D.C. fan, and I just love this song. I thought that it would be interesting to try make a Self Esteem version of it.”

Taylor recently dropped her new album ‘A Complicated Woman‘ on April 25 via Polydor Records.

To celebrate the release, Taylor performed a one-woman show of the album at Duke Of York’s Theatre. Created by Taylor and Tony award-winning designer Tom Scutt, the “unique” performance is described as “an ambitious quasi-theatrical experience that harnesses the power and energy of a gig but presents it through a theatrical format”.

The show was hailed by Madonna, who watched Self Esteem perform and called her an “incredible artist”.
