Up is the debut album by English pop group Right Said Fred, released in 1992 on Charisma Records and Tug Recordings. The album contains the group's only United States Top 40 hit, " I'm Too Sexy", which was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in February 1992, and their only UK number-one hit " Deeply Dippy", which stayed in that position for three weeks from April to May 1992.
Up is Right Said Fred's only US album release to date, peaking at number 46 on the Billboard 200. It reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.
In addition to " I'm Too Sexy", Arion Berger from Entertainment Weekly stated that the Up album has "relentless hooks, more goofy catchphrases, and camp sensibility coming out of its ears." He highlighted ”No One on Earth”, ”Do Ya Feel” and ” Deeply Dippy”, adding, "If Martians tried to approximate Earth music by channeling frivolous Top 40 like ABBA’s, overwrought cabaret like Liza Minnelli’s, and smart disco like the Pet Shop Boys’, the result might sound like Up. How all this would go over on Mars is hard to say; down here, it’s good-bad disposable pop." [3]
All tracks are written by Richard Fairbrass, Fred Fairbrass and Rob Manzoli
