"You can hate me, but what do I care..."
The art of Sarah Hudson is just that-- art. While featured on The Time Machine's radio program, it's clear that there's more to this young LA singer/songwriter than meets the eye.
Upon first listen of her 2004 debut album Naked Truth, you will find diverse songwriting talent bursting at it's redheaded seams. Sarah tackles topics like suicide, awkward parental relationships, lying boyfriends, and many other topics that girls face during the difficult teenage years. The album boasts production work from Desmond Child and vocals from hottie rock god Steven Tyler.
But apart from the relatable topics and the flashy names that accompany the album, the biggest reward to the listener is that every song is different. Seriously. And it's because of this that we can set Naked Truth apart from the average "teen angst" album. It goes from lighthearted pop to guitar driven madness and back to a piano ballad. One can even detect a hint of new age country on the track named "Gandhi".
"Girl on the Verge," the single from the album, is hard, edgy, and dark but the album ends with a cheerful upbeat number called "Bad Habit" that speaks of a girl and her romantic guilty pleasure.
Sarah presents us with clear, strong vocals and music with a bite. Naked Truth can be purchased from popular online media retail sites like Amazon or CD connection.
"The next big thing in your little freak show..."
Sarah is currently working on her next album, said to be titled Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control with her new group, Ultraviolet. She focuses on individuality, unleashing the freak within, and revolution. Her sound is fresh, featuring 80's-style influence with a kick in the ass. Join their mailing list at
