It’s Deeply Dip-Bey...
Beyonce has collaborated with Right Said Fred on her new album.
The duo – famed for their 90s hits I’m Too Sexy and Deeply Dippy – are credited on the singer’s album Renaissance, which comes out on Friday.
They have been sampled on her track Alien Superstar, five years after the pair were credited as songwriters on Taylor Swift ’s Look What You Made Me Do.
Last year, rapper Drake also sampled their 1992 hit for his track, Way 2 Sexy, which topped the US charts.
Brothers Fred and Richard Fairbrass say, somewhat modestly: “It’s nice to get a writing credit on the new Beyonce album.”
But the pair, who spend a lot of time posting anti-vax material on social media, have previously boasted, immodestly: “Due to our royalty streams we never have to work again.”
They will rake in tons more thanks to Beyonce, whose first single from the album, Break My Soul, urges fans to quit the nine-to-five.
So it’s fitting she’s helping them keep their feet up – though they will have more time for conspiracy theories.
Jessie Buckley 'keeping calm' about Mercury Prize nomination
She’s been nominated for an Oscar, BAFTAs, won a Laurence Olivier award for her work on the stage, and now Jessie Buckley is up for the Mercury Prize, for her collaboration with Suede’s Bernard Butler.
But none of that is going her head. She’s keeping her feet firmly on the ground. Or, well, the pedals.
“I just get on my bike and go home and go on with the next thing,” she said as she was named one of the 12 artists on the Album of the Year shortlist.
The others are Harry Styles, Sam Fender – who was “chuffed” – Little Simz, Fergus McCreadie, Gwenno, Joy Crookes, Kojey Radical, Nova Twins, Wet Leg, Yard Act and Self Esteem.
Self Esteem said she had been “manifesting” being shortlisted for over a decade. She added: “I am so glad I don’t have to think of a cute self-aware way to hide my disappointment this time.”
The awards are at the Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith, September 8.
