Kate Hudson to Release Debut Album Next Year

American actress Kate Hudson is making her music debut and releasing her solo album next year.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the award-winning actress explained her decision to release the album.

 “You know, I had this thing [during] Covid... Every time you’re doing interviews, people are like, ‘Do you have any regrets?’ I go, ‘I’m early 40s... not yet.’ But during Covid, I was like, ‘You know, what am I doing?” she noted.

Hudson explained that she's been a songwriter since she was 19, but "never shared" her work.

"I just thought that would be one of my great regrets. I have no expectations. I just want to put a record out, and so I'm doing it. And I'm really proud of it. I can't wait," said the star of her forthcoming project.

Hudson first revealed that she was taking her talents to the recording studio in April.

While this may be the actress' first time recording a solo project, it is not her first time singing. 

She was born into a musical family, as father William Louis Hudson Jr. performed as a vocalist alongside his siblings in "The Hudson Brothers" from the 1960s through the early 1980s. 

Her acting career has also spawned many melodic moments, from singing Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" with Matthew McConaughey in 2003's "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" to performing "Cinema Italiano" in the 2009 movie musical "Nine".

Furthermore, Hudson appeared as dance instructor Cassandra July in five episodes of Glee, during which she performed Chicago's "All That Jazz", Lady Gaga's "Americano", Pitbull's "Dance Again," and Stevie Wonder's "Upright (Everything's Alright)."

Most recently, she sang several songs written by Sia for the controversial 2021 movie Music including "1+1" and the movie's title track.
