Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson makes her long-awaited foray into the music scene with her first single ‘Spotlight’ from her debut self-titled album on September 22nd.

‘Spotlight’ is written and co-produced by Ne-Yo and produced by Stargate. It is a song which addresses insecurities within a relationship and is one of many stellar songs which showcases Hudson’s amazing powerhouse vocals. An all-star team of writers and producers have been assembled to contribute their talents to Hudson’s highly-anticipated debut album including Timbaland, Robin Thicke, The Underdogs, Diane Warren, Tricky Stewart and more. Her self-titled debut will be released in the UK on 29th September.

“I’m beyond ecstatic about my new album,” says Jennifer. “I think people will be pleasantly surprised, because it shows a side of my work that no one has heard before. This album has a huge variety of sounds and one of my favourite songs is ‘Spotlight’ because it has this great infectious groove. This is completely new territory for me and I can’t wait for people to hear it.”

Jennifer was recently in the UK to support Alicia Keys at her Black Ball for the charity ‘Keep A Child Alive’ which benefits children and families with HIV/AIDs in Africa and India. She performed ‘Spotlight’ and ‘And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going’ from Dreamgirls, the film she won an Academy Award for, and pretty much stole the show with her amazing vocal talent.
