R&B

Jennifer Hudson is back in the studio. The award-winning singer and talk show host went to social media on Wednesday (May 22) to announce that she is recording new music.

“Today is the day yal, back in the studio. Back to the music!!” Hudson wrote in a caption for a photo of her in a recording booth behind a mic. 

It’s unclear if Hudson is working on a song or a project, but either way, her voice is certainly missed.
