Die gefeierte britische Pop-Künstlerin Self Esteem aka Rebecca Lucy Taylor hat vor kurzem die neue Single „Big Man“ inkl. Video veröffentlicht – eine Zusammenarbeit mit der bahnbrechenden südafrikanischen Musikerin Moonchild Sanelly. „Big Man“ wurde als „Hottest Record In The World“ von BBC Radio 1 uraufgeführt und erscheint zusammen mit Self Esteems bisher schillerndstem und kühnstem Musikvideo, das von Piers Dennis gedreht und von Ayomide Alli und Precious Mahaga produziert wurde. Das Video beginnt mit einer Anspielung auf das ikonische „I Want To Break Free“-Video von Queen und zeigt, wie das Duo die Hausarbeit, die traditionell als „Frauenarbeit“ gilt, mit Stil erledigt.
Self Esteem erzählt: “Me and Moon wrote a song from the perspective of a good boyfriend. The ones that are just chill and secure so they just leave you to it. The ones that don’t want a medal for doing the bins. The ones that see that you’re working your tits off so they go and get yet another thing you’ve ordered and missed the delivery of from the post office. The ones that don’t take your success as a direct threat to their existence. To me this is real masculinity. We have both collaborated with Johan Karlberg on our records and I’m so grateful to him for introducing us, it was a joy to make this song together. In my head the video always needed to be an inverse ‘I Want To Break Free’ – Piers Dennis executed this gorgeously cos he’s a fucking Big Man. Self Esteem 3 lez go.”
Moonchild Sanelly fügt hinzu: “We were in the studio bonding HARD, having the deepest conversation about relationships and how it’s hard to be bold, loud female artists in a relationship. How you can be the baddest bitch on any stage, but if you have an insecure man he can’t support your success as a woman. Instead of celebrating and supporting you, he sees your success as a personal attack and uses it to pull you down and make you feel bad. And we thought… what would it feel like… to be ourselves, doing what we do, and have a man who properly supported all that we are. So Rebecca and I wrote from the perspective of our ideal partner. The song is from the hypothetical perspective of a man who supports their partner and is happy for their woman. A man that is fully secure. A big man.”
