With each track on Glorious, acclaimed actor Kate Hudson brings listeners into her world, a place where love reigns supreme and music is the ultimate expression of the human experience.
Kate Hudson has always had a symphony swirling within her, a melodic undercurrent that found its outlet in her life’s various chapters. From her role as the ethereal muse in the film Almost Famous alongside other roles on her journey as an acclaimed actor, music has been her constant companion, a solace and celebration intertwined. Her debut album, the aptly titled Glorious, is a tribute to this enduring connection with music. After a year of hard work and preparation, Hudson's debut album feels like a culmination of her lifelong musical trip.
For Hudson, Glorious is more than an album, it's vindication for years spent honing her craft to build up to this moment. Independently recorded and realized, the album is a collaborative effort, with Hudson working alongside the likes of Johan Carlsson, Danny Fujikawa, and Linda Perry to create a body of work that comes across both fresh and familiar. With a voice as smooth as velvet and as radiant as sunshine, Hudson effortlessly navigates the emotional landscape of the album, taking on topics like love, growth, and human connection with grace and vulnerability. Tracks like "Talk About Love" and "Live Forever" are proof of her ability to capture the essence of life's most profound moments in song, mixing shimmering synths, lively rhythms, and heartfelt lyrics.
Raised in the vibrant music scene of Southern California, Hudson's musical influences run deep, from the grunge anthems of Pearl Jam to the poetry of Joni Mitchell. With Glorious, she honors those influences while carving out a space uniquely her own, a space where drama and nuance coalesce into melodies that resonate on a soul-deep level. For Hudson, Glorious captures a moment in time even though it's been a lifetime in the making. As she herself has stated, "It always comes down to the moment, and the ability to make sure you can be there for the music. Finally, for me, that time is now."
