Jennifer Hudson Album Info
Ugh! This scoop is so tiny that it’s painful but for those of us who are waiting, so patiently waiting, for news about Jennifer Hudson’s upcoming album, there is a bit of info. Here’s the 411:
Among the perks of being Arista founder Clive Davis: Awards luncheons are held in your honor; you get to show up looking dashing with a royal blue handkerchief and uber-cool shades (indoors might I add); and you get to arrive with such arm candy as the lovely Jennifer Hudson (pictured), who sings two ballads at the luncheon as your thank-you.
More interesting than a local awards ceremony would have been dish about Hudson’s upcoming album, due this fall. Details about the album have remained under wraps, and it seems like her people want to keep it that way. Publicists whisked J-Hud away when they got within earshot of the word “album,” and we reporters were told to stick to questions about Thursday morning’s event. Right. (For the record, the occasion saw Davis named this year’s Music Visionary at a ceremony hosted by the UJA-Federation of New York, which benefits impoverished peoples in New York’s Jewish communities.)
What we did gather about Hudson’s CD was that “it’s quite universal, it has something for everyone, it has a lot of soul, it definitely comes from the heart.” Uh, okay, that explains everything.
But I can’t get down on someone with such an amazing voice. She certainly brought down the house with Barry Manilow’s “Weekend in New England” (just as she did when she was on American Idol) and Whitney Houston’s “One Moment in Time.” Speaking of Whitney, if you’re curious about where the “crack-is-wack” chanteuse has gone, Davis said he’s back in the studio with Houston. He didn’t divulge any details, but imagine the number of go-to-hell-Bobby ballads. Oh, the possibilities!
ARGH!!!! Please, please, please – I need more! Anyway, at least there is confirmation that an album is, indeed, underway. Can’t wait, Ms. Hudson!
