Matthew Morrison, Elton John Mix ‘Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters’ With ‘Rocket Man’
We told you almost two months ago that Matthew Morrison and Elton John would be collaborating on 'Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters' and 'Rocket Man' for the 'Glee' star's self-titled new album, but we had no idea the duet would be a blend of the songs!
Both tunes appeared originally on John's classic 1972 record, 'Honky Château,' and have found a similar home together almost 40 years later -- only this time as one track. The vocal pairing is like the ultimate peanut butter and jelly, meaning to say Morrison and John are a musical match made in duet heaven.
When Mr. Schuester gave us a peek at his premiere single, 'Summer Rain,' we knew he was on to something good. Then came round two -- the 'Wizard of Oz' classic 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' with Gwyneth Paltrow's accompaniment -- and we were just over the moon. Now, with this mashup of classics, we're certain Morrison's forthcoming album will be a hit and a half.
'Matthew Morrison,' the debut record, hits stores May 10, but you can grab 'Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters / Rocket Man' on Amazon now.
