Overview
- The album was announced Tuesday and is a 14-track collection drawing from The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, The Muppets Take Manhattan, The Muppet Show, and Sesame Street with pre-orders now open.
- MacFarlane released the lead single “Bein’ Green” alongside the announcement to preview his mid-20th-century pop and jazz reinterpretation of the songbook.
- Production credits name Joel McNeely as producer, Andrew Cottee as arranger, John Wilson as conductor, and sessions held at Skywalker Ranch with musicians from London and Los Angeles.
- The track list includes classics such as “Rainbow Connection” and a duet with Liz Gillies on “Movin’ Right Along,” reflecting a mix of ballads, showtunes, and standards-style arrangements.
- The project builds on MacFarlane’s established traditional-pop career and arrives timed with the 50th anniversary of The Muppet Show as an effort to reframe the Muppet catalog as enduring standards.
