Matthew Morrison and Gwyneth Paltrow have already proven they have great onscreen chemistry as lovestruck teachers Will Schuester and Holly Holliday on Glee. (The actress pops up again on the April 19 episode.) Now the pair are hoping that energy translates to the recording studio. EW has learned exclusively that Morrison and the Country Strong star will duet on his self-titled adult-contemporary album, scheduled to drop this May 10. Morrison asked Paltrow to sing on the album during her work on Glee, but admits the conversation was slightly awkward. “The hardest part of doing this album was asking these people favors, like Elton [John] and her,” says the actor. “I’m so not that guy.” Luckily, choosing the song for their collaboration was much easier. The pair will be covering a tune very familiar to Morrison and his Glee fans: the classic “Over the Rainbow.” The actor auditioned for Glee with the song and performed it on the series’ season 1 finale. “People kind of know me for that song now,” says Morrison. “I wanted to do a duet with a female. I thought that was a good song to do, and we really did a different arrangement of it. It’s a lot of strings, and it’s beautiful.”

GLEE’S MATTHEW MORRISON ANNOUNCES DEBUT SINGLE, ALBUM, IRELAND & UK TOUR.

DEBUT SINGLE “SUMMER RAIN” AND SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM FEATURING DUETS WITH ELTON JOHN AND GWYNETH PALTROW, RELEASED IN IRELAND MAY 6th 2011
The much-anticipated debut single “Summer Rain” and self-titled debut album by Matthew Morrison will be released in Ireland by Universal Records on May 6th 2011. Fans will also get to see the ‘Glee’ star in action on his first ever Ireland & UK tour, kicking off on June 6th in Dublin.
Performing at prestigious venues in Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Brighton and London, Matthew will be showcasing tracks from his hotly anticipated self-titled album, plus a variety of ‘mash ups’ from popular ‘Glee’ songs.
The single, “Summer Rain” was co-written by Matthew with Claude Kelly (Bruno Mars, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera) and the Norwegian duo known as Espionage, who produced the track in New York City.
“Summer Rain” is the first track from Morrison’s upcoming debut album, which features duets with the legendary Elton John and Hollywood A-Lister Gwyneth Paltrow. The self-entitled album ‘Matthew Morrison’ is launched following the global success of Glee and Matthew’s role as Glee club leader, Will Schuester.
Californian born Matthew Morrison is best known to millions as the eternally optimistic high school teacher and de facto glee club director, Will Schuester, on the FOX television network’s runaway hit comedy series “Glee.” The show ranks as the #1 entertainment program on broadcast television among Adults 18-34, Teens and Female Teens.
Matthew has been nominated for Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe awards, and shared the 2009 SAG (Screen Actors Guild) Award for Best Performance by an Ensemble in a Television Series - Comedy or Musical, for “Glee.”
Matthew is no stranger to musical theatre, vocal performance and dance, which he studied at New York University’s renowned Tisch School of the Arts. His first big Broadway break came as heartthrob Link Larkin in the hit Hairspray. Matthew was later nominated for a Tony Award for his role in The Light in the Piazza. He received a Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Musical for 10 Million Miles. Morrison also starred in the Tony Award-winning revival of South Pacific at New York’s Lincoln Center Theater.
