These days, news regarding Glee music is as popular as the show itself.

The Fox comedy's soundtrack hits stores this week, while Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester) has now confirmed that he's preparing a solo album.

"I’ve almost finalized a record deal and am going to be working on an album," the former Broadway hunk told Access Hollywood. "I would consider it a classier Justin Timberlake album."

Morrison compared his sound to "Timberlake meets Michael Buble," saying the CD will include a big orchestra.

Prior to creating nationwide buzz on Glee, Morrison appeared in Broadway productions of Footloose, The Rocky Horror Show, Hairspray, South Pacific and The Light in the Piazza. He was nominated for a Tony Award for the latter.
