Thoughts on Jennifer Hudson's latest single [and album].



A vocally prosperous, rhythmically balanced, musical mosaic of pop, soul, and jazz (particularly in terms of rhythmic timing), Jennifer Hudson’s soon-to-be-released second single “Pocketbook” is a club-anthem in the making. Take a listen, do you agree?


In fact, go ahead and take a listen to several other soon-to-be-hits from Hudson’s brilliant debut album, released this week. I bought the album this morning. Here are my three favorites ("Pocketbook," "Jesus Promised Me A Home Over There," and "Giving Myself") where Jenny gives the kids diva, church, and sweet ballad-bubble gum, respectively.









Every track is hot! My favorite though is We Gon' Fight.

these songs are GREAT!

welcome back n i love the entire album

Pocketbook is laced with crack.

I share office space with this married white southern boy and mistakenly introduced him to the song and now he jokes about hitting everyone with his "pocketbook" all day. Although he's jaw-dropping-ly hilarious, I am mad at him because that was MY joke.

[big-ups to Luda for that ill verse]

I agree...
Pocketbook IS laced to the T with crack. I almost started walking down the block to the beat with this in my IPOD. Just wait till' I hear this in the club!!
