Kate Hudson Is Only an Activist for Love

The actress hopes her debut album is received with the same amount of amore she put into it. “But it’s going to be what it’s going to be.”

Bottle up that amore and you’ve got Hudson’s debut album, the genre-hopping Glorious,which has arrived after several years of collaboration with Linda Perry and fiancé Danny Fujikawa. A music fanatic even before her breakout Almost Famous role, Hudson had been wanting to write and record an album throughout her acting career; a fear of ridicule, though, kept her from pursuing the dream, and she only got the confidence when the pandemic rearranged her personal priorities. (A sampling: “Live Forever” is about her eldest son growing up, while “Love Ain’t Easy” is destined to inspire a news cycle determining the subject’s identity.)
