The lovely Jennifer Hudson<\/strong> isn’t letting the rain stop her show.\u00a0 She was all smiles in NYC’s early morning downpour this AM as she headed to her live radio segment for “The Gayle King Show”.<\/p>\n

Jenny rocked a bright orange and purple dress with her long black coat as she hit the rainy ground this morning.\u00a0 Promo doesn’t stop because of weather.\u00a0 And Jenny looked fab despite it:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Her album I Remember Me<\/em> drops tomorrow.\u00a0 And she recently dished to MTV<\/a> about R. Kelly<\/strong> and Alicia Keys<\/strong>–who wrote for her on this new album–gave her what she calls “her sound”:<\/p>\n

\n

“R. Kelly was writing for me at the time, and I didn’t even know it, and they just sent me this song,” she recalled to MTV News about the track “Where You At.” “You don’t want to get your hopes up too high of being able to work with someone like R. Kelly, and when they sent the song, they told me, ‘Kelly put up a shrine of pictures of you to channel you, and he created this song.’ “<\/p>\n

“It was kind of creepy to me, because when I heard the song, I was like, ‘Oh my god! … He’s, like, giving me me! This is what I would do! This is something I would say.’ And I hadn’t even met him until after … and I’m like, ‘This is bizarre.’ “<\/p>\n

Crediting Kelly and Keys, Hudson notes that “they gave me my sound.”<\/p>\n

“I must say that working with Alicia was my favorite sessions in the recording studio ever, and I think it was partly because … it was a learning experience.\u00a0 She’s just amazing to work with. We had such a good time together. … It was an amazing, fun experience.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
