Kate Hudson launches a new career in music with debut single

Kate Hudson may be known for playing the queen of all rock groupies in the Oscar-winning film “Almost Famous,” but she’s on her way to amassing her own gaggle of “band-aids” as she launches her own singing career.

On Tuesday, Hudson released her debut single “Talk About Love,” a synthy pop-rock anthem that she co-wrote with her fiancé – singer and guitarist Danny Fujikawa – and 4 Non Blondes lead singer and songwriter Linda Perry.

With a full album due out later this year, Hudson said in a statement that she wanted her first single to be “something delicious and sexy and all the things that I believe in,” while sonically adding notes of rock, pop, dance and “even a bit of the alternative records I love.”

“Talk About Love” is the first music release from Hudson, who has enjoyed an illustrious career as an actor, starring in movies such as “How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” “Glass Onion” and the Cameron-Crowe directed classic “Almost Famous,” for which she was nominated for a best supporting actress Oscar in 2001.

The daughter of Goldie Hawn and musician Bill Hudson has previously showcased her vocal talents on screen in the 2009 film “Nine” and throughout her five-episode arc on the hit Fox musical show “Glee” between 2012 and 2013. Hudson also sang a doo-wop rendition of Ariana Grande’s “7 Rings” on a 2022 episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

Having been “caught up writing and witnessing life in songs since I was a child,” Hudson said in her statement this week that “it always comes down to the moment, and the ability to make sure you can be there for the music.”

“Finally, for me,” she said, “that time is now.”

Isn't she too old for this type of "angsty" music?

by Anonymousreply 2February 1, 2024 4:04 AM

I thought I'd hate it, but the song itself is pretty damn good and Kate sounds fine.

by Anonymousreply 3February 1, 2024 4:11 AM

The song isn’t bad and she sounds pretty good, but the production value… sounds like a demo on Garage Band.

When the checks stop coming in.

I wondered what that smell was. It's Teafake.

She has done the impossible. This is somehow worse than watching her act.

Did mommy pay for this "career," too?

by Anonymousreply 8February 1, 2024 4:59 AM

She needs to ease up on the filler. Goldie waited a long time to fuck up her face so should've Kate.

by Anonymousreply 9February 1, 2024 5:04 AM

Not bad. Her voice has an interesting timbre. But it's obviously been, ahem, finessed.

by Anonymousreply 10February 1, 2024 4:51 PM

Why is the music a Casio keyboard demo?

Forgettable, like the three movies I've seen her in.

R5, isn't Kate making bank from Fabletics?

In the pic she is praying to her stylist to find her something else to wear.

R2 Maybe you’re too old.

I don’t hear the angsty but I’m in my 30’s and grew up with Green Day, not Doris Day.

So I don’t hear the angsty friend lol.

I’ll take a fun pop song over another Goop

Just what everyone has been waiting for. A singing career from Kate Hudson.

If she wants to have a music career, she'll have to become the next "Mrs. David Foster."

I’m embarrassed for her

R20 I feel like if someone said that about me I would take it as a compliment

Sounds like something from 2005. Her voice is not distinguishable from anyone else's voice.

Everything about her seems like a relic from 2005.

by Anonymousreply 30February 3, 2024 5:57 PM

She’s 44 now.

Kate, you’re not longer an ingenue in Hollywood. You’re a middle-aged millennial. Grow up! The aughts have long passed.

Shirley MacLaine was around this age when she played Aurora in ‘Terms of Endearment’. Millennials think Botox allows them to keep doing the same repetitive shit.

Shirley was 50. And if you believe the cast and crew of Terms of Endearment, she turned 50 a few times.

Has she had a kid with both of these people yet?

Hudson would kill to be another GOOP.

by Anonymousreply 45February 4, 2024 6:39 AM

Kate's father, Bill, and her two uncles, Brett and Mark, made up The Hudson Brothers, who had a brief period of success mainly as a late-night TV musical act. Brett, the youngest of the brothers, was terribly handsome. Bill and Mark, not so much.

I haven’t r47.

Not for my lack of trying…

by Anonymousreply 48February 4, 2024 2:09 PM

As much of a mess as the Nine movie is, the clip at R47 is fantastic. She also was quite impressive doing “All That Jazz” and some other songs memorably on Glee. I’d definitely be interested in seeing her do more musicals, whether onstage or on screen… she would have been an interesting choice for Bobbi in the recent Company, actually.

Such a NEPO Baby.

Can’t figure out to do with her life.

3 Baby Daddies.

3 Average looking Kids.

Hudson is pretty average looking herself. Her mom is no great beauty either.
