EMMY, TONY, and Golden Globe-nominated star Matthew Morrison is to release a new studio album, Where It All Began, on June 4, 2013.
Featuring a collection of classic standards, many of which were first made famous in Broadway musicals. Morrison turned to legendary producer Phil Ramone (Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett), along with GRAMMY Award-winning producer Gregg Field, to create the 12 songs featured on the album. The collection marks the first release from 222 Records, the newly formed label from Adam Levine.
"I enjoyed the journey back to my roots on this new album," said Morrison. "This is the album I've always wanted to make, and I am looking forward to sharing the experience with everyone."
"I am thrilled to be working with Matthew Morrison," said Adam Levine. "I am excited for everyone to hear the album because he has so much talent and am so proud to have this release produced by the legendary Phil Ramone."
Morrison's new album of standards is a salute to the music that means the most to him and follows on the release of his 2011 self-titled solo pop album.
Matthew has also announced four additional live concert dates. The artist will perform on May 28th and 29th with the Boston Pops at Symphony Hall in Massachusetts and on November 29th and 30th with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.
