As a Pop star, Robin Thicke has-for one reason or another- has become one vocalist many love to hate, coming under fire after he allegedly trivialised rape with his smash hit single ‘Blurred Lines.’

For too long, the B that stands in R&B stood for boring, with many of the genre’s staple steering clear of the creativity that saw the likes of SWV, Jon B and Missy Elliott rise to the top globally in the 90s, to embrace a sound that screamed…well…local.

Fortunately for fans of Jennifer Hudson, her brand new number ‘It’s Your World’ is anything but that.

The perfect fusion of Dance and R&B, ‘World‘ marks the latest jam to be lifted from the singer’s forthcoming LP, and sees Hudson set her sights on an audience far wider than her core fan base with a feel-good vibe with wide reaching appeal.

Why Hudson stands just one radio deal away from scoring her first ‘Hot 100′ hit?
