Lea Michele liveing in the moment in 'on my way'

Lea Michele is letting loose and showing off her adventurous side in the new music video for her latest pop offering "On My Way," the second cut off "Glee" star's debut album, "Louder." The lyrics to the upbeat, pure pop track about battling with your head and your heart over a guy you shouldn't fall for say it all. Sometimes you just have to tune out those voices inside, follow your heart, and throw a rager in the desert. The 27-year-old singer and actress is set to have a huge week with the release of the video as well as the launch of her brand new book "Brunette Ambition," which hits stores today!
Michele is finding herself in a little bit of a predicament on "On My Way," as she starts off this upbeat track with a pouty vocal slowly building its beat, with her powerful vocals packing a punch as she shows off a more vulnerable side that quickly gives way to another club-oriented track that's about returning to someone who's not right for you. Sobriety and intoxication comparisons to love run rampant throughout, as she belts out about how her "heart's too drunk to drive" and she exists in a "blackout state of mind," but she's still on her way to that special someone.
The "Glee" star is in a battle between her head and her heart, as she falls for a guy she knows is bad news. "I should stay away from you tonight/ But in this blacked out state of mind/ Baby, all I want is you tonight," Michele sings. "When my head tells me 'no'/ My heart tells me 'go'/ So I'm hitting the road tonight/ I know my heart's too drunk to drive/ But I'm on my way to you." And while "On My Way" boasts a powerful bass-heavy beat that's a bit of departure from the recent tracks we've heard from her, the lyrics are just as emotionally-charged as what we've come to expect. This time around, she touches on a battle between her head and her heart (hey, who hasn't been there!)
However, in her new video, compliments the lyrics to the song, Michele was clearly listening to her heart. The lyrics of "On My Way" are all about taking chances, and that's exactly what Michele is doing as she's embracing the opportunity to live in the moment, looks to be having the best time as she gets very flirtatious with her boyfriend as they share some super-steamy scenes in her hotel room, before hitting the dusty road enjoying a hot Spring day with a group of friends, giving us flashbacks of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." The love story comes out loud and clear, but it's definitely more sexual appeal than we've ever seen before.

Lea Michele breaks the barrier in "Cannonball"

The 'Glee' star Lea Michele is getting up close and personal as she channels her inner diva in her first ever solo new music clip for her debut single "Cannonball," the lead single taken from the singer/actress' upcoming debut studio album "Louder," which drops on March 4. The emotional features shots of the 27-year-old belting the powerful, Sia-penned chorus in what appears to be an abandoned room with boarded-up windows.
Michele recently spoke to MTV News about the piano-driven anthem, revealing that it helped her to heal after the sudden and tragic death of her boyfriend and 'Glee' co-star Cory Monteith. Initially, Michele didn't plan on having the song be a part of the album, which she'd finished recording last June; but after Monteith died in July, Michele put her album on hold and took a moment to think if there was anything else she needed to get off her chest. Working with songwriters Sia Furler and Benny Blanco, she recorded the track and the single became a mantra of survival.
The uplifting ballad finds Michele reaffirming her newfound inner strength. The lyrics about finding inner strength after a difficult experience mirror Michele's own life: "The minute I heard the song, I had a physical reaction to it. For me, it's been my strength," she said of the track. "I listen to it every day. I know it was brought into my life for a reason. It's really been so helpful for me and I hope it's the same for other people as it's been for me." The track is instantly memorable, but still, it's Michele's powerhouse vocals that take center stage on "Cannonball" as she deftly switches from her Broadway-trained belting and 'Glee'-honed pop chops: "...I'll fly like a cannonball."
The clip, directed by Robert Hales, finds a vulnerable looking Michele cold and lonely in what looks like an abandoned mansion with a broken piano, singing about losing her mind. Sun streaks through the windows as the 'Glee' star dressed in a flowing black dress, slowly finds her strength as the song crescendos. As Michele's confidence builds, the room she's singing in slowly starts to shift to something brighter and, finally, letting the light into her life as she sings about her vow to "start living today." By the end, Michele is smiling brilliantly amid a sea of colorful, electrifying lights, all ready for her "new beginning." She certainly has come a long way, and The simplistic but visually stunning video is totally uplifting an inspiring!
