JHUD

JHUD is the third studio album by American singer and actress Jennifer Hudson. It was released on September 23, 2014 by RCA Records as the follow-up to I Remember Me (2011). The album marks Hudson's first and only release through RCA following the closure of Arista and J Records.

The 1970s-inspired album has already spawned the Pharrell-produced single "I Can't Describe (The Way I Feel)" featuring T.I. and the Timbaland-produced "Walk It Out", for which she shot the music video in Chicago. On August 18, 2014, Hudson released the single, "Dangerous", via her Vevo and SoundCloud accounts. The single "It's Your World" featuring R. Kelly was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance. In 2019, as a reaction to the documentary Surviving R. Kelly, Kelly's featured song, "It's Your World", was removed from all streaming and online versions and new vinyl and CD pressings of the album. However, the Japan only bonus track "Never Give It Up" replaced "It's Your World" on all streaming and online version of the album, as the tenth track.

The single "I Still Love You" was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best Video with a Message and the album was named the "Best R&B/Soul Album" by iTunes.
