Jennifer Hudson New Album Set For September
Monday, April 12th, 2010
In between juggling motherhood and a thriving film career, Jennifer Hudson is still finding time to record her sophomore album.
“I am in the recording process, at least 10 songs in,” the 28-year-old singer-actress tells the AP. “It’s between film and music right now, working on the album, but it won’t be out until September.”
The follow-up to her 2008 self-titled debut will be a departure for the Oscar and Grammy winner. “I think it will definitely be a different direction and I’m so excited about that. I want this album to feel good. Just hearing the feedback from the music being heard. … The reaction to it, I love it. So I’m like, wow, I want this album to be good, but I definitely want it to be very much me, and I just hope the fans embrace it.”
Aside from music, the “American Idol” alum is also preparing to take on the role of South African activist Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in a biopic, which begins shooting next month in Africa.

Jennifer Hudson Working Hard On Sophomore Album
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010
In recent months our Dreamgirl Jennifer Hudson has been working hard in the studio prepping the follow up to her Grammy winning debut “Jennifer Hudson”. Jennifer started the process back in October of 09. R&B star Ne-yo then came forward that he would be working with Jennifer and may be executive producing her the project adding that Jennifer wants to give the album a more personal feel than the last one. Ne-yo is responsible for writing Jennifer’s #1 smash R&B hit “Spotlight”. In October Arista head Clive Davis had this to say to HitFix about Jennifer’s new album
“The key is in the material. [Hudson] has only grown as an artist in this past year. She is more soulful. But the real challenge with a ‘pop’ artist is to come up with those songs that are special,” Davis told HitFix. “That is the challenge for every young artist who is still trying to make a lifelong career. They’re still dependent on radio play… You gotta have the hits. So we have several candidates for it.”
