I'm Brian Hyatt. This is Rolling Stone Music Now.

So there's been no shortage of actors turned singers over the years, but some are a lot better than others.

Kate Hudson is definitely in that category.

Her new album, Glorious,

due May 17th, is really impressive,

and I had a great time talking to her about her adventures and music and more.

Here's that conversation.

Baby, nothing but the truth. more. Here's that conversation.

Yeah, I really enjoyed your album.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

That makes me so excited.

It's crazy to put it out into the world.

It's like happening.

I'm so excited and I just hope people enjoy it.

You've had a long career of putting things out in the world, but I would imagine this feels a little different than anything

than acting and putting that movie out.

Oh my God, it's like a world of difference.

It's so much, it's so different that there's also so much emotion attached to it

and personal sort of obstacles to overcome to get here that it feels like when we finished I just when I finished and I knew it was done and everything was mastered and I was signing off on it. It was like a it was like when people say

oh I give birth to a baby it really felt that way I just was I was incredibly emotional for me.

What was interesting was that I just didn't have any fear. Like it was like two and a half years of going through the process, making the decision to say, you know what, fuck it, I'm going to do this. I have to do this. And then by the time I finally had just said it's going to do this I have to do this and then by the time I finally had just said it's done it was like I did it I just and the fear went away of what anyone would think because it's just so personal it's so honest for me which I've never had
