Kate Hudson Embraces Music Career at 46 After Romcom Success

Kate Hudson, now 46, is making a significant shift from her successful romcom career to embrace music more fully. Recently, she starred in 'Song Sung Blue,' a film that has earned her critical acclaim, including a Golden Globe nomination and potential Oscar nods.

In this film, Hudson plays Claire Sardina, a character who forms a Neil Diamond tribute band with her husband, played by Hugh Jackman. Hudson's performance has been noted for its emotional depth, showcasing her ability to convey resilience and humanity.

Hudson reflects on her journey, stating, 'I am not just an actor. I've been a musician my whole life and I never had the courage to do anything with it.' This sentiment came after a transformative moment at Paul McCartney's 80th birthday concert, where she realized she wanted to take more creative risks.

The film's music allows her to express her character's pain and yearning, with Hudson contributing her own vocal riffs and harmonies. Hudson's past work includes notable performances in 'Almost Famous,' 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,' and 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.' Despite her romcom successes, she feels that the genre has been diluted and desires to elevate it, stating, 'I love them and I will never stop making them.

I just think they need to be better.' Hudson's evolution as an artist is clear, and she aims to continue exploring her musical talents while balancing her acting career.
