Vocal powerhouse Jennifer Hudson is working on a new album. The ‘Spotlight’ singer has revealed in a recent interview with the AP that she has already completed 10 songs for the new project which she hopes to hit stores in September. Check out what Hudson, who is also gearing up to play the role of South African activist Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, below:
“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.” {Source}
