Right Said Fred Mash-Up Taylor Swift’s ‘Look What You Made Me Do’!
Right Said Fred recently spent a weekend in the studio having fun with I’m Too Sexy and Taylor Swift’s Look What You Made Me Do, the first track taken from Swift's forthcoming album Reputation.
The track interpolated Right Said Fred’s iconic 90s hit, and Right Said Fred's live studio mash-up features the guys having fun with both tracks.
The video for the live mash-up premiered on Billboard and is available to watch now via the Right Said Fred's YouTube channel.
When Swift dropped Look What You Made Me Do, it re-ignited the love for Right Said Fred’s US chart topping debut. Press around the globe were keen to chat to brothers Richard and Fred Fairbrass about the track and the interpolation, including BBC News, Buzzfeed, Rolling Stone, Evening Standard, Washington Post, NME, People, Billboard and The Telegraph.
Swift and her team reached out to brothers, Richard and Fred, to let them know about the interpolation not long before the single dropped but the sound of the track itself remained shrouded in mystery, and the pair first heard it on the morning of Friday 25th August 2017 along with the rest of the world.
“We’re really happy with Taylor’s take,” says frontman Richard. “Her track is broody and slightly dark - we love it."
In celebration of the track, the band released the I'm Too Sexy EP in September, which featured three tracks, a re-recording of the original single along with an electro swing and deep house remix.
Earlier this year, Right Said Fred released their 9th studio album Exactly! and are currently preparing for a string of live dates in 2018.
Right Said Fred’s I’m Too Sexy EP is available to buy now via their official site, Spotify and all good online outlets.
