Jennifer Hudson Announces New Album Title 'JHUD'

With everyone from social media to the press dubbing her “J-Hud,” it seems that Jennifer Hudson has finally gotten the hint and aptly chose that as the title for her upcoming new album.


Set for release in August, the Grammy Award-winning artist said she wants to show various sides of herself over the last few years.


“It’s different expressions of me as an artist, a girl, a music lover,” she told WPGC.


She’s already shared ‘Walk It Out’ and recently debuted ‘It’s Your World’, which also includes the talents of R. Kelly, at the 2014 BET Awards.


Aside from R. Kelly, ‘Walk It Out’ was produced by Timbaland while ‘I Can’t Describe (The Way I Feel)’ was crafted by proven hitmaker Pharrell Williams. Tracks like ‘Dangerous’ and ‘He Ain’t Goin Nowhere’ prove that Hudson is more than just a ballad queen but can also sass things up with some fun in the same way the late Whitney Houston did on ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ and ‘So Emotional.’
