Kanye lovers, remember the song Paranoid? Remember a muffled metallic voice singing "anyway, they don't know you like I do...." off and on in the song?
That folks is Mr. Hudson.
Surprisingly, solo Mr. Hudson is in a band called Hudson and the Library based in London. Now don't get confused, Mr. Hudson is not a rap star. Let's repeat, Mr. Hudson is not a rap star. In fact, Mr. Hudson's Library band is best described as alternative rock lathered with classical piano and crooning back up vocals. However, what's most captivating is Mr. Hudson's raspy voice exposing sappy love ballads of heartache and discovery. Simply, Mr. Hudson and his boys are good. Damn good.
So far they produced a debut album A Tale of Two Cities in 2007. While they received hearty applauds in Europe, popularity never hit home in North America. This year they're releasing their sophomore album "Straight No Closer" this May 13th. The album's single Supernova is on their myspace RIGHT NOW!
