Andy Samberg Makes Music
Saturday Night Live star Andy Samberg is about to add a new profession to his resume – serious musician. His debut album ‘Incredibad’ is from his Lonely Island project, the 3-man musical groups consisting of Andy, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer. The album is set to drop on February 10th and will have star cameos from celebrities like Justin Timberlake, T-Pain, Norah Jones and Jack Black. It will include some songs featured on SNL, such as ‘Dick in a Box’. Andy said “We definitely wanted it to be a classic comedy album, but also one you put on more than once. We’ve gone out of our way to make it musically pleasing. We started on a few songs that were not funny enough, for us, but they sounded pretty cool. And the bottom line for the project was, ‘Is it going to be funny first and music second?’ I think it’s 95 percent music, and we hope people would throw it on and bump it.When we did ‘Dick in a Box’ — and that’s what most people know us for — it’s an uphill battle from there.â€
