WATCH KATE HUDSON ON CBS SUNDAY MORNING
Hudson’s appearance on CBS Sunday Morning heralds the release of her debut album, Glorious, out May 17. Four tracks and two videos from Glorious have already been released to acclaim, including the swirling "Talk About Love," the song’s recent Party Pupils Remix, the acoustic "Live Forever" and the guitar-forward "Gonna Find Out."
Having spent the last glorious year preparing, Hudson could only call her dozen song debut one thing: Glorious. From the commitment to writing songs to the exploration of what could be in the studio to the final mixes, what now seems an inevitable reality arrives fully formed.
Beyond CBS Sunday Morning, look for major profiles on NBC’s Today, and Howard Stern. As she says, “When it comes to talking about where this album comes from, the years I’ve spent quietly making music and living inside the songs, I’m not sure I’ll be able to stop talking about it. I’m just thrilled so many smart people want to talk to me about Glorious – and the process of making my first record.”
Independently recorded and realized, Hudson worked with Fujikawa, Carlsson and Perry to create a sound that manages to be both fresh and somehow familiar. Her deep love of music has been a driver in her life since childhood, which meant setting a very high bar for both execution and creating a project that reflects the woman she’s become.
“I wanted something that was sexy and delicious, vulnerable and strong, willing and fearless – and especially gloriously in love with the way life takes you on this journey if you’ll just show up and be open. I wanted songs that could reach across all that, and that is a lot to cover.”
Distributed by groundbreaking Virgin Music, over the year home to iconoclasts and shapeshifters including Lenny Kravitz, Florence + the Machine, Iggy Pop, Janet Jackson and the Rolling Stones, Glorious will be celebrated with a ticketed show at Los Angeles’ Bellwether on May 18, the 1,500 capacity independent tastemaker room. Tickets are on-sale now.
For Kate Hudson – songwriter, singer, doyenne, diva – this is a moment that’s a lifetime in the making. But it’s also her raison d’etre, long before anyone knew that she wrote, sang or delivered live with a band. A woman who understands the drama and nuance of eroticism, the quest for love and the need for human bonding, Glorious opens a dimension into how we face life and creates the kinds of songs that you can sing, dance or listen to after a long day when you just want someone to understand.
