G.O.O.D Music/Mercury Records are very proud to announce the release of Straight No Chaser the second album by the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Ben Hudson. The album is produced by global superstar Kanye West. It is a take-no-prisoners collection of monster pop hooks, shiny plastic synths, smooth vocals, and piercingly lyrical songs of love, disaster, heartache and hope.
The unlikely alliance of English singer-songwriter and pioneering hip hop superstar came about through a mutual admiration. Kane West was given a CD of Mr Hudson's artful 2007 debut, A Tale Of Two Cities, and it became a fixutre on his playlist. In 2008 when Mr Hudson began compiling lists of producers in preperation for the follow-up to his debut, he was made an offer he couldn't refuse. He got a call from Kanye to say that he wanted to produce the album.
And thus commenced an incredible global culture clash adventure, in which a young white man from north London became an occasional member of an A-list hip hop production team. From New York to LA to Hawaii to Paris, he collaborated with Kanye on his 808s & Heartbreak album (he is featured on Paranoid, co-produced Street Lights, contributed vocals to Say You Will and Amazing and is a featured guest on Jay Z's forthcoming Blueprint 3 and Detroit rapper Big Sean's debut.
The first single from the album Supernova, is an anthemic, proudly bombastic slab of a tune. Kanye also features on Anyone But Him. Straight No Chaser is full of punchy, singalong pop songs, such as glam slamming White Lies, electro anthem Knew We Were Trouble and Anyone But Him, featuring Kid Cudi.
