Nicola Coughlan is living out her Real Housewives fantasies in a big, fabulous way by releasing a song just for her gay fans!
The beloved Bridgerton actress has teamed up with DJ and producer Ellis Miah to create the brand new track “Shoes… More Shoes.” The song is a delightful ode to all things glamorous, inspired by Nicola’s deep admiration for the campy, over-the-top world of the Real Housewives franchise.
The inspiration for the song came from a light-hearted interview where Nicola shared her dream of making a song akin to those released by Real Housewives stars like LuAnn De Lesseps and Erika Jayne. “You know when the Real Housewives release pop songs exclusively for gay men? That’s my dream job! Because they don’t really sing, they just list things… like shoes, private yachts, caviar, more shoes!” Nicola’s playful quote is even recited in the song, adding an extra layer of authenticity and humor.
In a statement about the song, Nicola expressed her excitement, saying, “I’m so thrilled that my encyclopaedic knowledge of Real Housewives and Drag Race has resulted in one of the silliest, funniest things I’ve ever gotten to do. As a fan of Ellis since ‘Read U Wrote U,’ I’m honored he took a random interview quote from me and turned it into a brilliant way to raise money for two very worthy charities; Not A Phase and The Trevor Project.”
“Shoes… More Shoes” is not just a fun and catchy tune; it’s also a heartfelt celebration of Pride Month. The song aims to spread joy and laughter while supporting important causes. The proceeds from the track will go towards Not A Phase, an organization dedicated to supporting the lives of transgender and gender non-conforming people, and The Trevor Project, which provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ+ youth.
The collaboration between Nicola and Ellis Miah is a match made in pop culture heaven. Ellis, known for his work on hits like “Read U Wrote U,” brings his signature style and flair to the track, creating a song that is as catchy as it is comical. Nicola’s infectious enthusiasm and genuine love for the Real Housewives shine through, making “Shoes… More Shoes” an instant Pride anthem.
