Becky Hill ft Self Esteem – True Colours

As the May 31st release of her new album Believe Me Now? approaches, the two-time BRIT Award winner Becky Hill shares her most personal song to date in the shape of “True Colours,” which features Self Esteem, out now via Astralwerks.

Lyrically, “True Colours” is a first-hand account of experiencing a sexual assault by somebody you trust and your friends not believing you. Becky has translated that into a song which simmers with empowerment, defiance, and self-care. But this isn’t a song of being a victim: it’s an uplifting anthem that Becky hopes will encourage other women to speak out against sexual assault.

Becky invited Self Esteem to perform on the track, as the two women share similar beliefs and agendas, and are fans of each other’s work.

Becky says, “I didn’t want it to be emotional and I didn’t want it to be angry – I’ve had years of therapy to examine that anger and not allow it to inform me, who I am. Self Esteem is an artist I’ve been a huge fan of for the longest time so I’m super excited to have her on the track as I think the song resonates for both of us. It’s also the first track on the album so you really get a taste of what is to come. I hope everyone loves it as much as we do.”

Self Esteem adds, “As a huge fan of Becky it was an honour to hop on such an important track. We share a desire to turn these negative experiences into one of teaching and catharsis. ‘True Colours’ is another opportunity for both.”
