Written and co-produced by Ne-Yo and produced by Stargate, "Spotlight," which addresses insecurities within a relationship, is one of many stellar songs which showcases Hudson's amazing powerhouse vocals. An all-star team of writers and producers have been assembled to contribute their talents to Hudson's highly-anticipated debut album, including Timbaland, Robin Thicke, The Underdogs, Diane Warren, Tricky Stewart and more.
"I'm beyond ecstatic about my new album," says Hudson. "I think people will be pleasantly surprised, because it shows a side of my work that no one has heard before. This album has a huge variety of sounds and one of my favorite songs is 'Spotlight' because it has this great infectious groove. This is completely new territory for me and I can't wait for people to hear it."
Clive Davis, Chief Creative Officer, SonyBMG Worldwide states: "With Jennifer's debut album we will be introducing a major new recording star. She takes on every genre of music and makes each her own. She's pure and simple a great natural talent and her album will very excitingly reflect that."
In addition to her debut album, Hudson continues with her burgeoning acting career in the much-buzzed about New Line Cinema version of the HBO hit series Sex and the City: The Movie, in theatres May 30. On October 17, Hudson returns to the silver screen in the film adaptation of Sue Monk Kidd's best-selling novel The Secret Life of Bees.

Jennifer Hudson acted as Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant Louise in Sex and the City: The Movie and she performed the soundtrack All Dressed Up In Love to be released on 27 May 2008 before the premiere of Sex and the City: The Movie on 30 May 2008.
The song is awesome! Here is the musical video as well as the complete lyrics.
All Dressed Up In Love
When you can wear what you feel
What do you wanna say?
Now love is a little number that you can wear each day
As long as you let me be the accessory
Simply send me on my way
Style of love
I look good in love
When it’s been out of sight and out of mind for such a long time
That’s how one forgets
So I reached in the back of my closet and pulled it out
And tried it on and it still fits
So I covered the pain up with lots of MAC make-up
But I can’t help but blush
Because I’m in love
All dressed up in love
(Chorus)
Cool in the summer, warm in the winter
I’m dressed up in love
I’m cool in the summer, warm in the winter
Cuz I’m in love
All dressed up in love
People are looking, some even staring
I don’t know it, when they ask me what I’m wearing
This or that, it’s made for any weather
My friend and I sit down and we both make it together
Now if you really want one of your own
I hope your shoes are made for walking
Cuz I found love and I you must find love
[Chorus]
Cuz I’m in love
And you must find love
