Matthew Morrison Wants to Collaborate with Adam Levine

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Gossip, Jazz, Pop,

Matthew Morrison wants a musical collaboration with Adam Levine.

The Glee singer-and-actor was snapped up by the Maroon 5 frontman for his new record label and the pair have discussed joining forces on a song, despite having different musical styles.

While Matthew's new album, Where It All Began, is more jazz and blues inspired, Adam is best known for making thumping pop-rock songs with his band. "We've certainly talked about [a collaboration]. Our styles and sounds are quite different but he loves my album so much and he's a big fan of that type of music. But you wouldn't think it because he's such a rock star," Matthew said.

Although he's used to being in front of the camera after playing glee club teacher Mr. Schuester for four years, Matthew insists filming his first music video was completely "different" to his usual work: "They are so different but I love both. With Glee, you learn lines, you show up and you're good to go. But with a music video, you get involved with everything and it's a lot more personal."

Matthew Morrison, better known to Glee fans as Mr. Schue, will have his own solo album on the shelves this winter.

Mercury has given the CD a February 2011 release date, despite the fact that Morrison isn’t totally finished with it.

“I’m about three-quarters of the way done with the album,” he recently told reporters. “It’s full-time Glee right now. I’m trying to do it on the weekends.”

For now, fans will have to enjoy Matthew’s singing on his hit show. The FOX series will return for Season 2 on September 21.

We may be used to seeing guest stars on Glee, but we’re not quite used to seeing this.

Wednesday night in London, singer Leona Lewis welcomed a surprise guest onstage during her concert at O2 Arena: Matthew Morrison. The actor, who is currently in the area working on his solo CD, joined Lewis for a rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”

Followers of the show know quite well this isn’t the first time Matthew has taken on the classic song. Gleeks recently saw Will Schuester perform it with Puck (Mark Salling) during the season finale. (In the event you missed that cover, you can watch it after the jump.)
