    Jennifer Hudson has never sounded better.

    At their best, Hudson and her collaborators provide the kind of mature R&B that is not felt merely in the mind, throat, chest, or hips but the entire body.

    What's more surprising than the album's existence, though, is that Ms. Iron Pipes finally sounds like she's having some fun.

    Sadly, the Showgirls star is no Alicia Keys (who contributes three songs), and while she unquestionably has a voice, the material's nothing you'll want to remember.

    Jennifer Hudson would do well in stepping outside her comfort zone.

    It's an album far more than a parasite riding the wave of a traumatic situation, with a confident protagonist at its heart.

    She's simply not being fed the right material, or getting to work with a sympathetic producer. Hudson is a soul singer not a modern R'n'B one. [Jun 2011, p.104]
