Actress Lea Michele feels the presence of Cory Monteith in her life now more than ever.
The 'Glee' actress, who lost her partner six months ago, is preparing to release her debut album, Louder, which is rich with reminders of the couple's insane love for each other, reported Us magazine.
"During Glee, I felt like I was scratching that itch of being an artist. I was at a great place in my life and I was so unbelievably happy -- my relationship with Cory made me feel like I could reach for the stars and more. So I was like, 'I'm going to challenge myself and do this record now'," she said.
Michele, 27, said he was "such a fan" of the album while she was recording it.
"He would be like, 'You're going to be a pop star! What are we going to do? Are we going to, like, go on the road?' He would say, 'This is going to be big! And I'd be like, 'I don't know'.
"I somehow feel the insane love Cory and I had for each other morphed into this strength that I have right now. There's just something about knowing he's watching everything I'm doing and feeling like I have to do everything now not just for me but for him.
