Mr Hudson ft. Kanye West

G.O.O.D/ Mercury

WE SAY

Mr Hudson's next album Straight No Chaser comes out in August and this is the lead single, featuring the album's executive producer Kanye West. It was Zane Lowe's 'Hottest Record In The World' on Radio 1 a couple of weeks ago. It has since had big specialist radio support from Annie Mac, Trevor Nelson, Huw Stevens, Rob Da Bank and Jo Whiley, which led to a 7- week upfront addition to Radio 1's playlist. We've long been supporters of Ben Hudson (we featured him when he was unsigned), so it's great to see him deliver this track, which has true international hit potential. JF
