Jennifer Hudson Has a Release Date
Posted by Bossip Staff
For those of you who have been curious as to when Jennifer Hudson would ever release a solo project, here is a tad bit of info on it:
Jennifer Hudson has recruited India.Arie and Alicia Keys as mentors as she plans to embark on a pop career. The Oscar winner and former American Idol favorite hopes to release her first album after her new film Sex & The City hits cinemas next month (Jun08) and she has turned to two peers for advice. “I didn’t realize the process would be so long. I’m discovering it as I go along. “Alicia Keys was one of the people who talked to me about it. I wanted to make sure it was OK because it’s taking so long. “She told me it took her at least a year to record her album and that’s the process, so don’t worry about it.” And she turned to Arie when she needed a big hit on the album: “Greatest Creation, which Indie.Arie wrote, is where I see myself and where I’d like to see myself, in saying that my greatest creation is me.” Hudson will release the album in September (08), admitting “I haven’t named it yet.”
This chick has already accomplished so much that we tend to forget that she never dropped an album. We’re interested in what she comes up with for this one…here’s a single that leaked yesterday:
Any thoughts?

She is very gorgeous.She has posted this pic on a celeb dating club ” M a r r y m illi on a i r e . c o m ” Many of her fans were seeking for her and wanna chat with her.She is very hot on that club and that club is also hot because of her.
I’ll believe it when I see it
I got it 1st
I agree. I didn’t realize in hindsight that she didn’t release an album yet. Well good for her. I would like to get a copy. That girl is a star regardless. Is she really in the Sex & the city movie?
Damn Alicia keys and India Arie + her voice! That album has great chances to be very good!!!!
J Hud can blow….. No pun intended…
@ I’m Just Me
Yes she is, she plays Carrie’s *****istant..
it’s amazing she did not win American Idol, but i believe she will be the only one to EVER receive an Oscar!
Yea I’m not sure if I’ll be grabbing this one, this girl has a helluva voice but idk if she’ll go over mainstream radio as well as she did with the whole dream girls thing….i just don’t see it, especially when she did that weak track with Neyo????
@lauren..i agree girl. I think she is a powerhouse singer but i can’t see it appealing to mainstream. But we’ll see. I want her to do good so I’m rooting for her. But they are right, I did forget about that album. I love her regardless!
dont really care 2 much for her but i hope she does well
Valenne
Damn Alicia keys and India Arie + her voice! That album has great chances to be very good!!!!
100% agree
@ Southern Belle, she is awesome she’s also an awesome actress which is why she deserved to win that Oscar. I also hope she does well…
BOSSIP DON’T WANT TO LET ME POST
Damn, i say she is too talented for doing pop *****!
What is wrong eith that Bossip, why you don’t want to let me post ! DAMN
Is it just me? Or does she always look like she just “fell” out of bed and started her day? lol
I love her and her voice but geeze.
Jennifer Hudson looks like her ***** may have a little smell to it…..Excuse me while I go throw up
@rr
ok…well maybe she DID “fall” out bed (and completely miss the shower). LMFAO
Homegirl trippin…
*out of bed
Enormous talent aside…she could stand to get that body in shape.SHE’S FAT.
It’ll be interesting to see what she comes out with.
Im looking 4ward 2 dat and its bout time she found out a release date.
ok I just listened to the track and it is fire. No it is not a club song like many people are gonna expect and rate. It is something I would jam in my car. She sounds like a mixture of cece piniston and teena marie.
That track did nothing for me. It sounds like a 70s song that wouldn’t even be a hit in the 70s.
this song sucks!!! I’m very shocked she would think it sounded cute, no,no,no!!!
Who ever is representing JHud is doing a terriable job. The minute she was done with Dreamgirls, she should have been in the studio recording a cd. Dreamgirls took 6 months to film & another 6 months to release. That was 1yr to get this woman some decent material. While she was on the award show circuit, she could have been promoting her new CD. She is hotter than anyone at that moment. I don’t even care anymore is she never release a cd. The hype is not there anymore. It’s going to be much harder for her to push a CD now than 2yrs ago.
Even with a new movie coming out in 1 month, still NO CD available. I know Clive Davis scratched 7 songs that was recorded cause he thought they were garbage. Is is that hard to find songwriters & producers for someone who can really sing?
J HUD ISA BANGER
I LIKE THICK GURLS

I agree that she should of released her album wayy earlier when she was on fire but this track is hot and it kind of reminds of the dreamgirls soundtrack anywho I will definelty buy her debut album..her voice is amazing
Guess who has had lipo and work done Jhud, next she will have a booty.You all know she has never had any waist thei ish is phony as hell,and if you can realy sing it takes thi9s long to record??????
***** a real singer can sing the ingredients to a cereal box and record it.
Please she was all hype and you all know it.
She’s looking good *no homo* but I’m not feeling that track… at all! It sounds like something off of the dream girls soudtrack!
what-the-hell is she doing with leggings on?
that trend is not cute, I don’t know why everyone abusing it!! stick to pants lazies
She is blessed b/c unlike many singers, vocals will never be a problem for her. She is a future legend. I recognize this song, it’s the one from “Sex and the City”. Go Jen!!!!!!
i liked the single push on hudson push on.
I LOVE LOVE it! Very Aretha old school vibe. Like back when they used to actually USE instruments and voices really matter. Yes, I will be buying this album.
Luv J-Hud but not feeling this song. It sounds like it should have been on the soundtrack for Dreamgirls. Her voice is amazing, I wish she would consider some soulful R&B songs.
@lady A…I agree. I think its going to go over alot of young heads. But I think her fan base will more than likely be the 30+ club!
she has a nice shape in front and boy does she love her leggings
she has a broadway voice, the song is ok, not loving it.
Southern Belle 225
Yup you are so right 30s club and 20s club that appreciate older music which is where I fall into place. A lot of this new music is pure garbage by women who have little to no vocals. I watched videos from older days where women had to sing acapella for a deal not send in tapes that had studio added to them already.
Bossip forgot to mention that this is not a song from her album. It is a song from the sex and the city soundtrack which is why it sounds like a song from dreamgirls soundtrack.
Lady Architect
ok I just listened to the track and it is fire. No it is not a club song like many people are gonna expect and rate. It is something I would jam in my car. She sounds like a mixture of cece piniston and teena marie.
^^^Exactly…that’s not a good look for a young r&b/pop singer in 2008. LOL!
This sounds like something left off the Dream Girls soundtrack. It doesn’t even sound right for SATC, but I’m sure they’ll make it work.
And, seriously, It looks like her stylist didn’t even try.
Lili,
ummmmmmm when cece piniston and teena marie came out they were in their teens when most popular. I wasn’t talking about Teena Marie and Cece now at their older ages. They don’t even sing like that anymore. so what point are you proving again? It’s wonderful if your sound reminds people of other hit artists. There’s *****ody sound out right now that is original. They have just found new ways of making beats to appeal to younger crowds and this song is obviously not for a younger crowd anyway because of the movie it is for. SMH how old r u?
@ Somer…I agree
Jennifer sings too forceful and holds her notes too long. She should tone it down and smooth out her voice. She always has a tremble in her voice. I am sick of hearing that over and over again. Yuck!
Jhud sounds like she doing broadway even when she’s not. It ages her.
I hope she knows Beyonce is coming out with her baby at the end of the year. Maybe even sooner because you know how fast she is with recording cuz her ***** is on point.
This should be good
I like J-Hud…..but I don’t like this track!
Sounds like something you’ll hear on Broadway……
Her sound is hell-a-broadway. She needs to get out of that; with a voice like hers she could be good with the right songs. Wasn’t feeling this track too tough though. I am rooting for her too; so I’ll most likely by the album for support purposes
I’m not checking for Jennifer’s CD. I’m confused at everybody’s claim of being a triple threat. I …I think she should focus on acting & let that be. That and get SOMEwhere wearing these mammy made tights and gladiator sandals. lol
I agree with you guys about the broadway thing but… she can sing that voice is fyaa! I would buy the album.
The song is good it is inspiring for all the fluffy ladies out there…
I like that song it has a jumping rhythm and the voice just make you want to dance….
Loving it Girl, Go Jennifer….
India Irie as a mentor???! Now thats just plain stupid. Arie never went platinum and was completely displaced from the neo soul movement. She’s always looking depressed and is just NOT relevant. I never liked Irie she couldnt hold a flame to Jill Scott, Musiq, or E badu. I think that *****s always bothered her and she use the whole I’m dark and they’re light issue as an excuse to have some negative ***** to say about the industry when the truth is, she was never really all that talented anyway.
If J Hud want my money. I need to know what sound she’s going for. If she wanna do the pop ish. I dont think so. She’s no Rhianna or Bey. She’s stiff overweight and not comfortable enough in her to be a pop artist. I think her time has p*****ed but we’ll see.
* in her own skin to be a pop artist
i like this track and will buy because her exposure is good,(meaning ppl KNOW her!) She an exceptional actress and has a great voice…i think her style isn’t too broadway i would pop her album in when im in the mood to clean or just hear something DIFFERENT!! best wishes to you J!!
never really been a fan of jhud but i wish her all the best. the whole fashion/accessory message in the song sounds sex& the city-ish….thats probably for the movie.
best of luck j. hudson
DREAMGIRLS IS OVER…THAT SOUND LIKE SOME BROADWAY *****…HER VOICE IS BANGING BUT SHE GOTTA GET THE RIGHT MATERIAL OR SHE WILL BE ANOTHER KELLY ROWLAND
camel toe
camel toe
I love her strong voice, but that song sounds like the credit song for a movie or a tv show. I hope that this leak is just filler, cuz if the whole project sounds like this, it will be sold at Chevrons with the quicks.
Damn. One movie and she is pigeon-holed already.
sorry J-Hud is over rated, her voice is to broadway for me
I really like Jennifer Hudson. I feel that it will be difficult for her to release an album because a lot of people are not going to be able to seperate Jennifer Hudson from Effie White. She did an outstanding job in Dreamgirls as an actress. I think that she should concentrate more on acting and let singing be her secondary role. I think that she should release a single every now and then. I hope that any album that she releases if full of great tunes/singing. The song that was presented sounds a little broadwayish for me. I look forward to seeing her in more movies.
sike im just playing im just a hater, jenifer hudson has a beatifull voice and she will be succesfull, i just hope she doesnt take the beyonce im going to prostitute myself route.
She has a beautiful voice tho I don’t really care for the song.
i advocate the thick and lovely…but damnit stop wearing all that spandex!!
This track is wack. I hope she has some much better material than this. It sounds like a filler song on an 80’s album. Jennifer, come hard or not at all.
rr why are you thinking about what her ***** smells like! (Seriously) IT sounds to me like you have a real problem.
bossip dp ypu have a problem woth the word J
bossip do you have a problem woth the word “Ja*z
yes keep it real wanna be dont be a kiss *****……IM ME SO BE YOU
It seems like some people are forgetting that that is for a movie. A fashion movie. I think it fits and I like it.
maybe now she can buy some *****
I love my girl, but if all the songs are like this….Its a big disappointment
not feeling it.
ehh she can sing but umm this song sounds icky..
like idk,
this whole 70s ish has got to go
unoriginal..
her voice doesnt seem to fit this track..
maybe next year…
Like the voice..hate the single..I hope she got some better ones on the album.
It is very Dream Girls soundtrackish! I love me some oldies, but this is like straight disco… I don’t know, but I love me some J. Hud & her voice is bananas, so I’ll have to buy it & see… SUPPORT GOOD BLACK MUSICIANS & actually BUY their cd’s!
NISH LOOK LIKE SOMEBODY DRUNK AUNTE … BUT JENNIFER HUDSON OVERSINGS EVERYTHING AND I JUST DONT FIND THAT TYPE OF VOICE APPEALING. ITS LIKE SHES SCREAMING ON EVERYTHING. AND SOULFUL DOES NOT APPEAL TO MAINSTREAM ESPECIALLY IF SHE’S GOING THAT RnB/POP ROUTE … SHE ON J RECORDS .. AFTER HER FIRST ALBUM BOMB CLIVE WILL GET HER TOEGETHER AND SOFTEN HER VOCALS TO PUSH HER THE MAINSTREAM WAY
@ KEPPIN IN REAL
sorry J-Hud is over rated, her voice is to broadway for me
^^^ RIGHT! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THAT .. I DONT FIND HER VOICE APPEALING AT ALL
YEA .. THIS SONG SUCKS .. SHE DOIN WAY TOO MUCH. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE LIGHT HEARTED AND CARE FREE AND SHE OVER SINGING YET AGAIN
Wish her well with the album.
But on another note, I find her so incredibly beautiful. I know many of you might not see what I see but Ms. Hudson is my definition of a banger for real!!
This sounds like something from the “Dreamgirls” soundtrack. Love her, but shes too young to be singing these OLD sounding songs!
this woman could sing a “wheels-on-the-bus” medley and i would like it.
@ the bear
i feel the same way, but when i mentioned that to a friend (girl), she didnt know why.
Greatest Creations should be the name of the cd
I hope her alblum does well.However,in this day and age most powerhouse singers do not appeal to the mainstream.Their better suited and more appreciated on Broadway.
HIGHLY overrated
Well she need to come out with this album already & I REALLY HOPE it’s Successful! ppl seriously don’t appreciate talent anymore! I’ll be picking up my copy!
God Bless any sista out there tryin to do her thing… however I don’t think Jhud is as talented as everyone says…No doubt she has skills but she doesn’t strike me like Fantasia, Mary J, Alicia or Beyonce… Say what you want about the looks but Fantasia is a real talent, Mary is the Queen, Alicia and Bey are princesses where would Jhud fit.. Her voice is just not there for me. But I wish her the bless in all. It ain’t for me to judge her
that song is going to be on the sex and the city soundtrack, she looks great, go jhud
It’s taking forever to release an album, but the girl can SING!!! When I heard the song, it reminded me of a young Aretha. Aretha was what my parents played, but that’s how I came to love all that old-school music. That’s when real artists had to have talent, as JHud obviously does, and not hide behind some mixers.
