Now, Jennifer Hudson taps into the feel good music of the 80's with her brand new single "I Can't Describe (The Way I Feel)" featuring T.I. The track was written and produced by Pharrell, "I Can't Describe (The Way I Feel)."

"Working with a visionary like Pharrell was a really special experience for me," says Jennifer. "He is one of the most talented musicians of our time and I couldn't be more proud of what we did together." She goes on to say, "I'm so thrilled to be sharing this song with everyone. For me, it's all about making people feel good and showing them who I am as an artist. I make music to feed the soul and I think this song will do that for a lot of people."

In addition to Pharrell, Hudson has been in the studio collaborating with Timbaland, Salaam Remi and others for her third album, slated for release this winter on RCA Records.
