Darren Criss' much-anticipated first solo tour kicked off last night, May 29th at The Fillmore in San Francisco. Much to the fans delight, the Glee star treated them to a slate of all-new music which is likely to appear on his upcoming debut album on Columbia Records.

Below, get a first listen to "Any of Those Things," "Picture Perfect Girl," "Words," "Pheromones," and "Once Upon a Time."

Darren Criss has topped the Billboard charts as a performer, solo artist and composer and stars as "Blaine Anderson" on FOX's Emmy and Golden Globe Awardwinning series Glee. Prior to his television career, Criss garnered the attention of millions when he and his University of Michigan friends created "A Very Potter Musical," which became a viral phenomenon.

Thereafter, they started StarKid Productions, writing and producing subsequent online hits like Starship, Me and My Dick and A Very Potter Sequel, with Criss providing the music and lyrics for the latter. In 2009, he dropped his self-released album Human, which landed on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. He makes his film debut this summer in Girl Most Likely, opposite Kristen Wiig, Annette Bening and Matt Dillon.
