After her critically-acclaimed performance in Dreamgirls, Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson makes her long-awaited foray into the music scene with “Spotlight,” her official first single from her self-titled debut album, set for release in September on Arista Records. “Spotlight” impacts radio June 9 and will be digitally available at iTunes on June 10.<br /><br />Written and co-produced by Ne-Yo and produced by Stargate, “Spotlight,” which addresses insecurities within a relationship, is one of many stellar songs which showcases Hudson’s amazing powerhouse vocals. An all-star team of writers and producers have been assembled to contribute their talents to Hudson’s highly-anticipated debut album, including Timbaland, Robin Thicke, The Underdogs, Diane Warren, Tricky Stewart and more. <br /><br />“I’m beyond ecstatic about my new album,” says Hudson. “I think people will be pleasantly surprised, because it shows a side of my work that no one has heard before. This album has a huge variety of sounds and one of my favorite songs is ‘Spotlight’ because it has this great infectious groove. This is completely new territory for me and I can’t wait for people to hear it.”<br /><br />Clive Davis, Chief Creative Officer, SonyBMG Worldwide states: “With Jennifer’s debut album we will be introducing a major new recording star. She takes on every genre of music and makes each her own. She’s pure and simple a great natural talent and her album will very excitingly reflect that.”<br /><br />In addition to her debut album, Hudson continues with her burgeoning acting career in the much-buzzed about New Line Cinema version of the HBO hit series Sex and the City, in theaters May 30. On October 17, Hudson returns to the silver screen in the film adaptation of Sue Monk Kidd’s best-selling novel The Secret Life of Bees. http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson Delta 0 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss <a href="http://links.imeem.com/24cVIrKNe_" title="http://www.jenniferhudsononline.com/news/watch-jennifer-hudsons-superbowl-performance">Click Here</a> to watch Jennifer Hudson's amazing performance of The Star-Spangle Banner at the 2009 Super Bowl. <br /><br /><br><br /><a href="http://links.imeem.com/24rLAsKNe_" title="http://www.jrecords.com/albums/jenniferhudson/nationalanthem">Download</a> Jennifer's performance of <a href="http://links.imeem.com/24rLAsKNe_" title="http://www.jrecords.com/albums/jenniferhudson/nationalanthem">The Star-Spangled Banner</a> from the 2009 Super Bowl at <a href="http://links.imeem.com/24rLAsKNe_" title="http://www.jrecords.com/albums/jenniferhudson/nationalanthem">iTunes</a> now! <br /><br /></br> Jennifer Hudson Performance http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/blogs/2009/02/03/xESZ5oTd/watch-and-download-jennifers-2009-super-bowl-performance Tue, 03 Feb 2009 22:32:52 -0000 dRkWCP4I8G Jennifer Hudson http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/video/qnW--LNH/jennifer-hudson-jennifer-hudson-self-titled-debut-album-musi/ Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:11:57 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/video/qnW--LNH/jennifer-hudson-jennifer-hudson-self-titled-debut-album-musi/"><img width="100" height="75" border="0" src="http://srv0204-05.sjc3.imeem.com/g/v/470e61d9678287a42f47f4858ea1d9a5_00010.jpg" title="Click to play this video"/></a></div> 0d0PVu4FxU Jennifer Hudson Jennifer Hudson http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/playlist/AuiaUDuX/jennifer-hudson-music-playlist/ Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:46:24 -0000 ClH5z7dox8 Jennifer Hudson http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/XmYSxeWa/jennifer-hudson-and-i-am-telling-you-im-not-going/ Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:28:07 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/XmYSxeWa/jennifer-hudson-and-i-am-telling-you-im-not-going/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> eFINj_3ScB Jennifer Hudson http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/Est035I3/jennifer-hudson-jesus-promised-me-a-home-over-there/ Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:28:07 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/Est035I3/jennifer-hudson-jesus-promised-me-a-home-over-there/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> y5iEn3YPIe Jennifer Hudson http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/RabJn2UP/jennifer-hudson-invisible/ Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:28:06 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/RabJn2UP/jennifer-hudson-invisible/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> D5FURPINuQ Jennifer Hudson http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/0tphjw7I/jennifer-hudson-cant-stop-the-rain/ Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:28:06 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/0tphjw7I/jennifer-hudson-cant-stop-the-rain/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> 7ekw3VGTIq Jennifer Hudson http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/WmIn3oS3/jennifer-hudson-we-gon-fight/ Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:28:06 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/WmIn3oS3/jennifer-hudson-we-gon-fight/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> ZRgCiFEw42 Jennifer Hudson http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/Hlt4whBo/jennifer-hudson-spotlight/ Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:28:06 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/Hlt4whBo/jennifer-hudson-spotlight/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> J3b6IxupdM Jennifer Hudson http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/ybMW90fc/jennifer-hudson-you-pulled-me-through/ Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:28:06 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/jenniferhudson/music/ybMW90fc/jennifer-hudson-you-pulled-me-through/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> lBOJOez-qD
