Jennifer Hudson is gearing up for her first full-scale concert tour. She kicks off a 25 date event in Albany, New York, on March 31 with Robin Thicke.

In a recent interview with Billboard.com, Jennifer said:

“I’m excited to get out and meet the people and sing for the people. I always love to perform live. The only other tour I’ve been part of is the (American) Idol tour, so this’ll be more intimate and personal.” Source

Speaking of Robin Thicke…He’s preparing to release a single from his next album this summer and the full-length release in the fall.

While promoting his upcoming concert with J. Hud, he said he’s got about 15 new songs and that he’s been working with a variety of producers instead of doing all the work himself:

“I always wanted to be like Prince and write and produce myself. This time I’m not trying to take all the credit…and work with a lot of the best producers in the business. So my sound is going to be a lot different than anything I’ve ever done before. The sound I’m getting is brand new for me. It’s great.” Source

He said with “this crazy new sound”, he’s “really stretching the ceiling a little bit with an open mind, and the results have been wonderful”. Can’t wait!
