Lea Michele has given her fans a taste of her new song, Cannonball, that is listed on her upcoming album titled, Louder. The first 90 seconds of the song have recently been made available for fans to hear (included below); however, the full version of the song will not debut until December 12, 2013. This Thursday, Michele will perform the entire song through a special appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show as part of Ellen’s 12 days of Christmas.

According to the website for the show, “LEA MICHELE is here! Strong, beautiful and courageous, the Glee star and singer, who got her start in Les Misérables on Broadway, brings her positive energy and outstanding voice to grace the stage again. This time, she’ll not only talk with Ellen, but also perform a track from her upcoming solo debut CD, Louder! It will also mark her first sit-down interview since the tragic passing of Cory Monteith.”

In a recent interview with Elle, Michele spoke about wanting to include a tribute on the album for her late boyfriend, Cory Monteith. The song, You’re Mine honors the memory of Monteith. “The album was done, and the label said, ‘Do you want to add anything?’ I was like, ‘I might regret it if I don’t.’ It makes me so happy, this song. It makes me think so much of Cory. It was ours. When I think of him, I play this,” Michele said.
