It’s been a long time coming, but Mr Hudson is finally releasing his new album on June 21st. It’s titled When the Machine Stops, and will be his first solo LP in 10 years following 2009’s Straight No Chaser. To go with the news, he’s sharing his new single “Chicago,” which is collaboration with Vic Mensa.
“Once I had the song, I knew I wanted it to sound like Chicago,” Hudson said. “The drums were really important. Once I got the track sounding right with Johan, I called Vic. We’re always a good fit because he’s not afraid of wearing his heart on the sleeve of his motorcycle jacket. I went to his studio, which looks like a punk music venue, and he cut his verse in a couple takes. It’s emotional but it’s proud. Anger can be a useful emotion.”
Hudson and Vic have previously collaborated on songs like “Coldplay,” “Almost There” and “Deserve It.”
