Colin Donnell ("Irreverent," "Chicago Med") and Patti Murin's (In Merry Measure, Frozen) first joint album, Something Stupid is now available on all platforms worldwide via Broadway Records. The album name is derived from a famous duet, previously performed by Frank and Nancy Sinatra, which is featured on the album.

Conceived during lockdown, Murin and Donnell engineered their own vocals for the record from their newly formed home studio. The album goes far beyond the couple's well-known musical roots to include a variety of genres and beloved songs by Bruce Springsteen, Sara Bareilles, Jason Robert Brown, Paul Simon, and more. The eclectic selection of songs, comprised of solos and duets, touches upon the themes of searching, longing, and finding love.

Donnell and Murin said of the album, "We are so thrilled to release this album to the world. Robbie Rozelle and the entire team at Broadway Records have worked so
hard and surpassed what we even thought was possible, resulting in a collaboration that perfectly represents both of us as musicians, and as individuals. We hope you love it as much as we do."

The pair worked with producer Robbie Rozelle and co-producer Yasuhiko Fukuoka, and Luke Williams on subsequent arrangements and orchestrations to bring the new album to life.
