Stormzy, Salt-N-Pepa and Daniel Bedingfield are among the artists to feature in the film’s soundtrack.
South London set romcom Rye Lane – which marks the feature debut of director Raine Allen-Miller – arrived in UK cinemas on Friday off the back of a wealth of rave reviews.
The film tells the story of two single 20-somethings who bond over the course of one day after meeting in an art gallery toilet, and as well as including some memorable scenes and big-name cameos, it is also packed with a vast array of popular hits.
One such song is Salt-N-Pepa’s hip-hop classic Shoop, which is sung by the two lead characters Yas (Vivian Oparah) and Dom (David Jonsson) at a karaoke bar – and speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, the stars revealed they found this performance something of a challenge.
“We love talking about this bit because neither of us knew this song at all,” Jonsson said. “We were like, this is way before our time, why are we singing Salt-N-Pepa? Give us some Skepta, give us some Giggs!
“And Raine, bless her… normally we can change stuff, we can find stuff – this was the one time she was like: ‘It’s Shoop.’ And we did it, and we were like, ‘Okay, fine.’ And then, you know, cut to us being in Sundance and that scene playing, and everyone was like ‘Here I go, here I go’ literally singing the words!”
