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?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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.
