Glee’s Matthew Morrison to Record A Solo Album

Glee’s Matthew Morrison will be recording a solo album, Access Hollywood reports.

Matt, 31, said he’s nearly finalized a record deal and will be recording an album.

“I would consider it a classier Justin Timberlake album,” he said. “It’s going to be me and a big orchestra, but also with beats.”

The Glee star also shared that he wants to do a little bit of everything in the business. “I want to be like the next Gene Kelly,” Matt said. “I want to kind of do it all.” He’s already gotten a Tony nomination for his work on The Light in the Piazza and appeared on Broadway’s Hairspray and South Pacific.

As for the forthcoming Glee tour, though, don’t expect to see Matthew joining the glee club kids on their trip around the country.

“I don’t think I’m going to be involved in that,” Matthew said. “Mr. Schuester likes to take his summer break.”

@Bella:

He’s been on Broadway, and he CAN sing! You’re probably just used to the crap that the music industry keeps pushing out. REAL talent finds itself usually live onstage in New York or LA!

He use to be in the boy band LMNT. They were made up of a bunch of guys who didn’t “Make the Band” when O-Town came out.

who does this guy think he is? Start your music career by dissing one of the most successful artists out there? I bet he won’t even have one song go on the top 40.

Sorry Courtney, you’re right. I didn’t know he was replaced early on. I just knew the final four members.
