Donating the proceeds of her debut pop song to LGBTQ+ charities, Not a Phase and The Trevor Project in support of Pride Month, singer/actress Bridgerton Nicola Coughlan has released “Shoes, More Shoes.”
In an interview with Hits Radio UK, the thespian turned chanteuse admitted that she was desperate to release a tongue-in-cheek tune, stating:
“You know, when the Real Housewives release pop songs just exclusively for gay men? That’s like my dream job,” joked Coughlan “‘Cause they don’t even really sing, they just list things. They’re like, ‘Shoes, private yachts, caviar – more shoes.”
Following the British interview, music producer Ellis Miah sampled her comment and turned it into a viral remix on TikTok and the duo subsequently teamed up to make the track official.
Taking to her social media accounts on Friday (6.28,) Nicola announced the track writing:
“Like Lennon & McCartney, Dylan and the other great lyricists, I too wrote my first song by improvising some voice notes to @ellismiah in the 30 minutes I had before getting ready to go to Mighty Hoopla” referencing her trip to the UK music festival, and adding “Thank you to all the Queer Icons and Real Housewives who served as inspiration, I live for you. Most importantly this song (now streaming everywhere you listen to music) is raising funds for two incredible charities @notaphaseorg & @trevorproject. Happy Pride.”
