Kate Hudson on her "Glorious" album

Kate Hudson made a name for herself as an Oscar-nominated actress in "Almost Famous." But music has always been in her blood, and now Hudson is making a name for herself as a singer-songwriter. She talks with correspondent Tracy Smith about her debut album, "Glorious," filled with her songs about life and love, and reveals the one song that truly rips her heart out.

As a person that's been in the music business for over 50 years, she can actually REALLY sing! Good for you Kate and keep it up! You have a beautiful voice!

[@chadwick634]

What a wonderfully genuine and talented sweetheart.

[@m.e.5]

What an exceptional talent! Love that she didn’t listen to whoever told her shes “too old.”

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

Her voice sounds great, can't wait to hear her album! ✨

[@chrisfinch8637]

Goldie Hawn has to be really proud of her daughter, taking herself to new heights in her career. Always been fascinated with Kate Hudson’s acting and films, and with her new path towards singing, it makes me love her even more.

[@angelaholmes8888]

I can't wait to listen to Kate's album 😊

[@mariaseus1405]

She's got a great voice and actress I wish her good luck and hope this is her 2nd career

[@paulbunch5657]

Her voice reminds me of Pam Tillis's voice. Meant as a huge compliment. I think that Pam Tillis's voice is definitely underrated.

[@cynthiapaulo4138]

I teared up right with her! I think all moms felt that. Love that she doesn't care anymore, and is sharing her musical talent with the world. Cheers to you Kate!!

[@virginiaf.5764]

"Because I just don't care anymore". Right on Kate ... aging has it's issues, but not giving a flying eff what anyone thinks is one of the perks of growing old.

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

Having a ton of money, like she does, sure helps.

[@tapper701]

Have always loved Kate Hudson...she has the sweetest smile....she's a great mom....she sings so beautifully, cannot wait to buy her music. Go Kate!

[@rcdubya]

Just from the snippets in this piece, I’m really liking the style of her songs.

[@Mac62671]

She is shockingly good. shockingly good

[@danielaion2457]

Music is not about how old you are- she is a true pioneer in women taking the stage with wisdom and knowledge that will speak to the masses. People that say such think obviously missed out on their life purpose and have to squash others life purpose. Kate is a breath of fresh air and will make some massive dents in the music world.

[@lauralarrabee7870]

I still remember right after Ryder was born, Kate had to lose the baby weight to film Skeleton Key. And now the kid is off to college. Time flies by for sure. So good to see how much she loves her kids.

[@user-lt8pc1mh8r]

The guitarist most visible, and probably the band leader is Joshua Ray Gooch. Gooch for 8 yrs was Shania Twain's lead guitarist. Besides Gooch, the incredible drummer Elia Wood, bassist Derek Frank, and Twain's band leader Cory Churko made up probably one of the best backing bands ever. Gooch earned this.

[@godsdaughter3158]

Wow! I was not expecting such an amazing voice. It is rich and well developed and beautiful! Glory to God!

[@thomasaseymour1165]

Kick it girl!!!!! Congratulations…beautiful voice!!! Good luck with it!!!

[@faithfindsfashion3998]

A whole new appreciation for this woman.

[@KCNwokoye]

So happy for Kate. She has such a unique sound. Love her music. Thank goodness she is releasing this album. Her music is music I want to enjoy at a concert.

[@adelaferreira4575]

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree ,she is one of the most talented actresses of her generation ,so happy for her album and a grand tour ! She deserves every success ,she has worked really hard for it !

[@thenitenurse22]

Neopo baby all the way!

[@CherylGormanAuthor]

Oh, she is so sweet and smart! I just love her! I wish all the best of everything to her. Go and do it!

[@caseyg58]

I see so much of Goldie in her. What a fantastic voice and stage presence. You can tell she's having fun.

[@Prof_Jeff]

Agree. I've seen it in her ever since she was in her late teens and early 20s.

[@carrielassiter8455]

I love Kate Hudson and her album is GREAT!!! I am so shocked and surprised at how awesome the writing, the music, the vocals, the band, the overall performance is…Stunning. I’m a huge fan already and I know what’s good. She’s good. ❤

[@residentartist]

I'm a bit surprised they didn't mention her turn in the movie adaptation of "Nine" -- she was really great in that!

[@rubytuesdayphoenix]

It's interesting to see her embrace her musician side after all those years of her and her brother repeatedly publicly disowning their dad, which is mainly where they get their musician skills. Good on her for taking that step.

[@thenitenurse22]

I agree. She publicly disowns her dad but has had relationships with musicians and now she wants to do sing for a living. Thank God she founded Fabeltics because her acting career was going down the drain. I'm pretty sure this is how her music career will tank in a few years.

[@user-pc3xb4hd8i]

@@thenitenurse22That was Goldie’s doing the kids were taught their father was a bad person. It really doesn’t matter if her music career ‘tanks’ or not shes having fun and she has it all.

[@adelaferreira4575]

Wow you people are awful and wrong,her mother is also a great singer,she doesn’t Bragg about it ,Goldie could act,dance and sing like the best of her generation ,on the other hand ,Bill Hudson is just another musician with a much lesser career then his ex wife and daughter ,Kate’s talent comes more from her mum for sure !

[@Kim-oo9vv]

I was shocked to hear her mention him and then call him "Dad." She has always been negative about him and said Kurt was her father. Now, that she is trying to be a musician, she allows him to be in the picture. I adore Goldie but I do think there was probably some "parent alienation" at play between Kate and her father. No matter, though, they all have money and will be just fine. Most of us are just trying to survive this God-awful position we are all in! God bless America and the entire world!!!! 🙏 ❤

[@thenitenurse22]

@@adelaferreira4575 Let's be real. She was a mediocre actress. Bunch of rom com movies. She has a nice voice but I've heard better ones on "the voice". Her name will sell records and some shows but she's too old at this stage of her life to stage a music career. Fabelitics is providing her income to do her silly hobbies like singing.

[@wardarcade7452]

I hope Miss Hudson keeps in mind that there have been folks who constantly told Dolly Parton SHE couldn't pursue her dreams of singing, songwriting or performing and in 2024, here she is at 78 STILL doing all the above despite the naysayers and incredible odds!

[@lorilynn222]

Love Love Love Love Love her!!!🙏

[@user-ek4te8tg4c]

Such an energy! So happy she will give her to the world in such a creative way! A role model!

[@reneeparker7475]

I love the movie and one of the reasons was her role in it. She is such a talented woman and I can't wait to hear her album. I am also a big fan of her mother, who made me laugh and showed that "dumb blondes" are not dumb, at all.

[@TimothymakeupsDitzler]

What a legend

[@BeTheLight624]

You sound great, Kate! Go for it! ✨💖✨

[@b.visconti1765]

Alright now, Ms Kate! 🎉 Girl why you wait so long to showcase that singing voice??!!❤🎉

[@bobsiyt6548]

She really has a good voice - and those songs are actually pretty good. When this first started, I rolled my eyes and was expecting to cringe. Nope. Good for her! She’s right though, when you’re a major movie star, it’s so hard to try to do music at the same time and be taken seriously. You can be a singer and do movies at the same time, but being an actor/actress and doing music at the same time is much more difficult. She was smart to wait, because this is the right time for her. I’m rooting for her!

[@Clintsessentials]

Likeable indeed.

[@nighthawkde4522]

She has the look of her dad but the infectious smile of her mother.

[@Beautytrends77]

I will definitely be checking out her album. She has an amazing voice, I love raspy singers. I know it’s going to be a great album.

[@LunaWolf29]

She sounds great and so do the songs. I had no idea she could sing and write music. Totally impressed! 🙂❤️

[@lauraapotter7911]

I love this! I'm surprised how good she sounds because I only remember her singing with Mathew McConaughey on " How to lose a guy in 10 days". She is such a sweety

I hope that what Kate has done can give inspiration to people 30s and above to go after their dreams. We should stop obsessing on kids and teenagers, they should enjoy their youth and experience life. People with life experience and who really know what they want should be given the chance.
