ALBUM

Before he became a TV star as Glee’s lovable but indecisive Mr. Schuester, Matthew Morrison was a Broadway star. His self-titled debut album -- the first official one from the Glee cast -- tries to make him into a bona fide pop star as well. The album trades in feel-good pop that’s sexy but not too sexy, such as the album-opening “Summer Rain,” and passionate but not overwhelmingly so, like “Still Got Tonight.” “Hey”'s affable strum falls somewhere in between Jack Johnson and Israel Kamakawiwo’ole, whose version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” is the template for Morrison's version of it with Gwyneth Paltrow. This song is a highlight, not just because it’s the lone crossover from Morrison's Glee material, but because its melody shows off more of Morrison's range than some other songs here. Matthew Morrison's success depends largely on where his collaborators take him. Morrison helped write several songs here, including “Don’t Stop Dancing,” a grown-up boy band song co-written by JC Chasez that feels like the album’s most blatant bid for a younger audience, and the torchy closer “It’s Over,” which he wrote with Broadway lyricist/composer Marc Shaiman (whose music Morrison sang in Hairspray) and is one of the truest expressions of his talent. Though it's more scattered and less fresh-feeling than the fare he sings week in and week out on TV, most Gleeks won't be disappointed by Matthew Morrison. ~ Heather Phares
