Right Said Fred

High-camp baritone vocals meet polished mid-90s synth-pop. A theatrical, satirical take on disco and ego that remains unapologetically upbeat.

It's like a disco party in a very expensive, very ironic mirror maze.

A high-energy, satirical celebration of ego and pop artifice.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The absurdly confident delivery of the hook in Everybody Loves Me that blurs the line between ego and parody.
The unexpected synth-pop transformation of the country classic Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town.
The six-minute sprawling groove of Brick by Brick that shows a more ambitious side of their production.
