Jennifer Hudson Debuts ‘I Can’t Describe (The Way I Feel)’ Ft. T.I. Produced By Pharrell
It is totally cool now to be retro when it comes to making R&B music hits.
After finding success with Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” superproducer Pharrell takes Jennifer Hudson on the same route for her new single “I Can’t Describe (The Way I Feel)” that premiered on Saturday.
The disco-tinged song also features a verse from rapper T.I. who also contributed to turning “Blurred Lines” into a monster hit.
The hip hop star from Atlanta keeps up with the upbeat spirit of the song talking about all the fine things he has in store for his lady love.
Jennifer Hudson said that she just wants to make music fans feel good that is the reason why she is taking them back to that golden era for Soul music supporters.
Pharrell also voiced the pleasure he had doing “I Can’t Describe (The Way I Feel)” with J-Hud. He said the following on Twitter:
“I love when artists jump out the window for feel good music: I Can’t Describe (The Way I Feel) by @IAMJHUD feat @Tip.”
“I Can’t Describe (The Way I Feel)” is pretty good and we think it is safe to say that Pharrell has found a winning formula.
You take an oldie-inspired beat, you add fun and upbeat lyrics, mixed with a touch of edgy modernity in the form of a cool rapper – wash, rinse and repeat – you get an R&B hit.
This could become a template for R&B artists to become mainstream again. You can listen to it below:
Jennifer Hudson is reportedly working on the follow-up to her 2011’s album “I Remember Me” that was certified gold in the US.
Salaam Remi, RedOne and Timbaland have all contributed to the project.
What are your thoughtrs on J-Hud’s TIP-assisted track “I Can’t Describe (The Way I Feel)”?

Justin Timberlake Unleashes New ‘TKO’ Single
Justin Timberlake who has the best-selling album of the year with “The 20/20 Experience” that he released in March is not yet satisfied.
Timberlake wants to continue his winning streak with the follow-up “The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2” that will be released on September 30 via RCA.
After the project’s first single “Take Back the Night” failed to blow up the charts like Mr. Timberlake’s previous tracks, the “Mirrors” singer unleashed the second single on Thursday.
It is a track called “TKO” that was produced by his frequent collaborator Timbaland. The legendary producer can even be heard at the beginning of the song.
“TKO” is a nice cross between disco and hip-hop that is over seven minute long.
The former ‘N Sync leader has repeatedly stated that his new album will be slightly darker in spirit than the first part that sounded more upbeat and took a sunnier look on things.
If his artistic goals are laudable – it is not certain that music fans will respond with the same fervor to the new songs.
“The 20/20 Experience” came after a long musical hiatus for the singer turned actor and part 2 may appear repetitive to those looking to justify some kind of Justin fatigue.
“TKO” that debuted online last night was not met with a huge enthusiasm. This could be temporary, since a 7-minute track might be too much to digest in the Twitter age.
In ten days we will be able to make a full assessment, when “The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2” is made available in full.
In related Justin Timberlake news, he is also promoting his new movie “Runner, Runner” a crime-drama with Ben Affleck that was produced by Leonardo DiCaprio.
The film opens in theater on October 4. While promoting this thriller type flick in Brazil earlier this month, an entertainment reporter named Sabrina Sato gave the married artist a mold of her derriere.
Timberlake’s reaction at the five-minute mark in the video below is priceless.

R. Kelly Debuts New Song ‘Genius’ From ‘Black Panties’ Album
R. Kelly’s new song “Genius,” debuted online few hours ago and we have to admit it is a Real R&B music banger that has classic Kells written all over it.
The track is the second single lifted off the “Radio Message” singer’s upcoming “Black Panties” album that will be out in November.
Originally titled “Sex Genius,” the sexy record finds the Pied Piper of R&B navigating in familiar territory – the bedroom.
Here some will hear echoes of Prince’s “The Beautiful Ones,” others will find vintage 90s Kelly sexy talks.
Whatever your final verdict is, it’s safe to say that R. Kelly’s “Genius,” has enough strength to make some noise on urban radio.
As you wait for “Black Panties” to drop later this year, you can listen to the R&B “Genius” swoon his lady with sweet nothings below:
This is the third track from “Black Panties” that surfaced in the past two months. Check out the two others after the jump:
