Description

Right Said Fred return with their 9th studio album Exactly. The album was two years in the making featuring an array of special guests and Fred and Richard Fairbrass signature mix of tongue-in-cheek observational pop.

Half of the album was recorded with Paul Statham (Simple Minds, Kylie, Dido) and the other half with Gordon Davis and Jason Glover (who was part of the James Taylor Quartet). The albums opener Me And You is an upbeat pop anthem featuring Jodie Scantlebury who has previously worked with Bryan Ferry. The albums themes range from simple and fun observations like single Sweet Treats inspired by a British Airways dessert, to the more serious. Save Me, which touches upon depression whilst Raining In England is a melancholic song about everything in the world around us is changing but the one thing that can be relied upon the rain in England.

The album arrives after the Fairbrass brothers spent 2016 celebrating the 25th Anniversary of their 1991 hit Im Too Sexy. They are one of the UKs most enduring pop acts and in the 25 years since Im Too Sexys release, the brothers have reached fans all across the globe, selling in excess of 7 million copies of their debut album Up worldwide, receiving two Ivor Novellos for Im Too Sexy and Deeply Dippy as well as a Brit Award nomination for Best British Act. Fred and Richard have also played The Royal Variety Performance, met the Queen, released a track for Comic Relief (Stick It Out) and, most importantly, Richard was voted Rear of the Year by Smash Hits Magazine.

Right Said Fred continue to appear at various special events and TV shows all over the world performing in front of 200,000 people at the 2006 World Cup opening ceremony and 300 million people for the Bollywood Awards plus guest appearances on Good Morning America, Big Brothers Bit On The Side,The Wright Stuff, Lorraine, Ant and Decs Saturday Night Takeaway, Pointless and John Olivers Last Week Tonight.

However, after 25 years, the brothers remain true to their spirit they dont follow trends, they follow their instincts and have fun along the way. Doing music the Right Said Fred way has always been the right way and their track record and continued success is testament to that. Long live Right Said Fred!
