Right Said Fred – Up

Right Said Fred – Up

Right Said Fred – Up is the debut 1991 studio album from the British pop duo, best known for the worldwide smash "I'm Too Sexy". Combining catchy dance-pop, funk, house influences and tongue-in-cheek songwriting, the album captures the playful, irreverent spirit of early-1990s British pop.

The album opens with "Love For All Seasons", followed by the melodic "No One On Earth", before launching into the instantly recognisable "I'm Too Sexy". Built around a minimalist dance groove and Richard Fairbrass's unmistakable vocal delivery, the track became a huge international hit and reached No. 2 in the UK.

"Do Ya Feel" and "Is It True" continue the album's blend of pop hooks and club-oriented rhythms, while side two begins with "Deeply Dippy", another major hit that reached No. 1 in the UK. The track's relaxed groove and infectious chorus provide a strong contrast to the deliberately outrageous character of "I'm Too Sexy".

The second half of the album continues through "Swan", "Don't Talk Just Kiss", "Upon My Heart" and "Those Simple Things", showcasing the duo's ability to move between playful dance-pop and more melodic material.

Released in 1992, Up established Right Said Fred as one of the most recognisable British pop acts of the early 1990s. The album's combination of humour, catchy songwriting and dancefloor-friendly production helped it stand apart from more conventional pop releases of the period.

For collectors of Right Said Fred, I'm Too Sexy, 1990s pop, British dance-pop, house, funk and nostalgic early-90s vinyl, Up is an entertaining snapshot of one of the decade's most instantly recognisable pop acts.
