Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson’s not sure what took her so long, especially with all the music whirling inside her. Raised between Colorado’s mountains and Santa Monica and Malibu’s beaches, she came of age with radio that delivered everything from Pearl Jam to Pharcyde, Neil Young to De La Soul. And so many women -- from Madonna to Patty Griffin to Sheryl Crow – who captured all the emotions a young woman feels. That hunger for musical expression from the woman who embodied the ultimate rocker’s muse in Cameron Crowe’s Oscar-winning Almost Famous runs deeper. Natural, easy, engaged, there’s both self-examination and celebration of self-flowing though her songs. An invitation to feel, touch, and even seek and find carnal pleasure, Kate Hudson understands the phases and stages of modern music in a way that’s fluid, but defined, honest, yet willing to leave it all at the door in the name of love.
