Jennifer Hudson‘s eagerly awaited sophomore LP is the latest to join the slew of releases delayed until next year.
Full story below…
In a recent interview with Billboard, the 29 year old confirmed that she is still hard at work on the record (which was due for release before this year’s end). She recently wrapped the shooting of new movie ‘Winnie’ in South Africa.
Speaking on what we can expect from the album, which is still in its early stages, the mother of one said:
“I definitely want it to be more personal than the first album, and just more me — whatever that is, I don’t know yet but I’m going to find out. More flexible, more diverse”.
Luckily for Hudson, her case is markedly different from many of her chart counterparts in that she has been pre-occupied with a movie, and the album never had a set release date. Even with that, it’s been confirmed that the likes of Alicia Keys, Swizz Beats, and Rich Harrison have already made contributions to the record.
In any case, it’s great to see that Ms. Hudson is looking to explore a more dynamic sound this go round. For, her first album (save for a few tracks) was somewhat of a snoozer. Here’s hoping she delivers with this new LP.
Randomness: Has anyone else noticed that Hudson’s J Records label-mates (Fantasia, Monica, Jazmine Sullivan) have been serving up some of the year’s best material thus far? Fingers crossed Jenny continues the trend.
Love her !!
wow didnt know Alicia was workin with her
Can’t wait for this. I know she’s gonna serve up some great music this go around. Roll on 2011
OVERRATED.
J records??? She started at J records but moved to Arista after 1st album. Strange, only notable oldies artists are on arista. Hmm. No biggie. It’s just a name change, nothing else is different with her team. The reason she switched to arista is because she always wanted to be on the same label as her idol and inspiration, Whitney Houston. I’m sure Clive Davis made that happen after the oscar win. Just sayin.
I was wondering about the status of Jennifer’s career, I really dont see her getting many more acting Roles since she lost all that weight she looks funny but Its still a good look for her music career. Her last album was just OK, Basic R&B for me & it didnt do all that well even with all the Hype she had during her music debut but it was a solid enough effort for a R&B Artist.
I find fantasia to be a better Singer/vocalist than her which is why she won Idol & ofcourse Beyonce is as well. They have better voices & use it way better than Jen. Singers like JHud & Xtina are just Loud as hell. Much like Mary J all Jhud has is soul & pain & Strength. But singers like Bey & fantasia will always have a longer more successful career as their music will hold a stronger impression & impact. & Bey is a better singer cause not only does she have power & strength but she also has the Technique, range, Versatility, Clarity, Control, prowess, musicality, & Color that Ms. Hudson greatly Lacks.
Jhud don’t rush this album, give pre-released date or random singles on line but keep it closely guarded secret till you know is ready to drop just like B will do. Wishing you all the best in everything though………….!
@LOUD!!!
“Bey is a better singer cause not only does she have power & strength but she also has the Technique, range, Versatility, Clarity, Control, prowess, musicality, & Color that Ms. Hudson greatly Lacks.”

OHH STFU!!
WE ALL KNOW SHE AINT ANYTHING BUT… SHE LASTED CAUSE SHE SHAKES HER ASS, SWINGS HER HAIR, AND THROWS HER CROTCH ON STAGE BETTER THAN ANY1 ELSE. OH, YEA… DONT FORGET THE SONG WRITING SWAGGER JACKING BY HER MAFIOSO DADDY MR MATHEW KNOWLES. MIGHT AS WELL ADD THAT “SKILL” TO HER SINGING ABILITY. GTFO!!
Hopefully it’s worth the wait!
you would think all this GAWLS would want to release their albums this year since the queens of music: Britney, Madonna, Gaga, and Beyonce are coming for 2011.
@JT WAT THE F*** R U SAYING……
@ Trent THE R***** (perfect name BTW)
Beyonce is in Control. All that other Fake S*** is irrelevant as hell. The Queen Bey lasted because she is simply BETTER than your Favs. Stay Mad.
loud no more movie roles? Uhmm she just got finished wilming the Winnie Mandela movie. Even though Halle is in the lead for The Aretha role right now. Jennifer is her 2nd choice. Fantasia won, but who is the BIGGER STAR now?? Oscar , Grammy, Golden Globe, Vogue Cover. Fantasia has NONE of THOSE. If anyone should not get anymore movie roles it’s beyonce. I’d rather watch a low budget movie made in my hoood, than watch anything with beyonce’s non-acting ass in it.
I actually agree with @JT and @Loud. Jennifer Hudson is very overrated as a vocalist/singer. She’s not that great, she’s just loud. Sorry.
LOUD!! I see no reason to compare her to Beyonce. Beyonce has been in the industry over 15 years and Jennifer Hudson has only had 1 album so far so why would anyone compare her to a veteran. I find Jennifer Hudson’s voice soulful yet refreshing at the same time. She brings a unique element and style to her songs. While her style may not appeal to everyone it certainly guarantees her large sales from her core audience. Jennifer’s personality also really makes me like her as an actress because she naturally is funny, witty, and real yet can adapt to playing different types of characters in movies. That is why she won the Oscar for Dreamgirls, leaving Beyonce still salivating at the mouth for one but everyone knows Beyonce’s non-talented ass can’t buy an Oscar like she bought her grammies.
NEVER HEARD HER LAST ALBUM BUT I WILL GIVE IT TO HER SHE SURE CAN SING.

Why do women love to knock other women down???? I wish JHud all the luck and she has a pretty voice as well as Bey and Fantasia since u guys were doing the comparisons.
Renae you know Beyonce has delusional fans/stans. and the Lil Wayne stane is probably high on whatever he smokes as well. But back to Beyonce’s stans being delusional. They can’t help themselves but to hate on anyone not named Beyonce Knowles..
Pushed back? I didn’t even know that she had an album coming out. Not that I care.
Why even bring Beyonce up. Yall stans love to do that. Beyonce has nothing to do with Jennifer. Loud is being very delusional saying she’ll never get anymore roles when she just finished a movie in SA last month? Why down Jennifer and let her be great in what she is doing. Why are you upset at that? lol
Jill Scott>>>>
Like someone mentioned, this bish is just loud and I only like “loudness” in Gospel music other than tnat…NO!
Oh! And last time I checked you didn’t have to necessarily act to get an Oscar (btw I don’tt see the big deal with these things, but I guess because they don’t give ’em to black folks very often). Hell you don’t even really need talent. Does anyone remember 3 6 Mafia? Well not many people do because they are ‘has beens’, but they are a perfect example of why it doesn’t take much to win 1.
She might look weird now, but I’m sure she added 10 years to her life after that weight loss, don’t hate!
i just wish you haters would try to sing like her. oh wait you cant. If you think she has no control listen to her sing believe.
