Jennifer Hudson - I Remember Me



2011 was a banner year for the likes of Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Adele, The Cast of Glee, Lady Antebellum and LMFAO. But the Season 3 Miss American Idol finalist and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson released a truly wonderful album in 2011 called I Remember Me. While the album did not have the highest sales of the year or produce any massive hits, it is genuinely worth checking out so you can see what you were missing.

The lead single was Where You At and it is a classic smooth R&B jam where Jennifer sings about her man who is continually letting her down. The amazing video was filmed right here in her home town of Chicago and it shows off the grand skyline in winter. She followed it up with another R&B jam called No One Gonna Love You with a great video that features hot dancers doing fierce choreography. Both of these songs were remixed into powerful dance floor anthems which elevated her vocals to an even higher level.

My two favorite songs on the album are Everybody Needs Love and Don't Look Down. These two fun songs have catchy hooks and super bouncy beats with absolutely no remixing needed. I would have loved for them to be released as singles and get played on the radio all day and night.

In addition, the album has her version of Feeling Good that was used in her Weight Watchers commercials. It really is a great song to convey her positive energy about making a healthy change for herself and inspiring others.

Another great song that Jennifer released in 2011, Night Of Your Life, wasn't included on I Remember Me. This outstanding disco dance celebration was only found on the compilation from DJ David Guetta called Nothing But The Beat.
