Gay Science’s Rob Anderson On How He Approaches Music And Comedy – Exclusive – The List

Comedy and music are quite different, but for Rob Anderson, they deserve and need the same amount of attention to detail. In fact, on his approach to the two, he told The List, “It’s a very similar approach where I am focused on committing to something as hard as I can — having great details and production quality.”

“I want something to be as good as it can be,” Anderson explained. “With my music, I plan on doing the same thing with this new song and future songs, taking concepts that really shouldn’t be songs. Someone really shouldn’t be singing about this — why would it ever deserve a song? — and then making the production quality amazing.” Naturally, Anderson is referencing his children’s book, “The Fergamerican National Anthem: A Civics Story,” here. This book is a funny spin on Fergie’s “National Anthem” performance from 2018.

With Anderson’s ability to take anything and make it hilarious or a summertime hit, we have no doubt that his music career will only soar from here. This is also evidenced by the effort he put into the “Nothing for You” music video. “[Also], there’s the music video having great sets, costumes, great dancers. ‘Nothing for You’ has amazing choreography and dancers,” he added. “And then when you listen to the music, it sounds so good. And when you listen to the lyrics, you’re like, ‘Wait, what? They’re really saying that?’ That’s the kind of vibe that I want to have with my music.”

Ultimately, Anderson’s music is zany, but it receives the same details that his comedy does.
