Synopsis
Amazon.com Anybody who pays attention to top 40 radio knows Sarah Hudson is a "Girl On the Verge" courtesy of the first single from this, her debut disc. But you won't get a clear sense of just how close she is until you wade through all 11 tracks. Turns out things are pretty dire. She's "the next big thing in your little freak show" on "Strange"; confounded by innuendo on "I Know" ("I can't hold on forever/I know that you know I know"); and, most tellingly, mad as hell at her parents (she lets them have it on the confessional, guitar-crashing meltdown that is "Little"). Still, it's hard not to like her, or at least find her fun. Hudson is cool in a Hollywood kind of way--she's the cousin of actress Kate Hudson, and her look puts a fresh if not as sunny spin on Cyndi Lauper's celebrate-the-freak-within style. Naked Truth carries the potential to sprinkle her nascent star power over two distinct camps: rebel kids not willing to lump themselves in with Avril Lavigne's skateboard punks, and teen girls too cool to be tagged with the Hilary Duff-goody-two-shoes rap. While the world decides, we can all enjoy a single slice of near-perfect pop buried seven tracks in. "I want to find peace like Mahatma Gandhi/Wanna drink champagne and be cool like Blondie," Hudson sings quickly and convincingly on "Gandhi," voicing a naked truth for all of us. --Tammy La Gorce Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsThis girl is definitely on the Verge Sheila B | 09/15/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "FORGET COMPARISONS STOP PIGEONHOLING USE YOUR OWN MIND Despite what some might want you to think (Music Lover Branson MI) going to an all girl Private Catholic School no matter where it is located does not make you wealthy. When everyone around you drives Mercedes and BMW's and you have weird hair and drive a Toyota Tercel it makes you a freak and hardly puts a silver spoon in your mouth. Every parent tries to give their children better than they had, even if that means making them the out cast at a private school. It does not make you immune to the pains of childhood, or protect you from agonizing over your "best friend's suicide" or how to deal with your parents divorce you heal, you forgive and you move on. Talent is talent and no matter how much some want to believe it, having a father who "Use to be someone in the '70's" does not automatically land record contracts at your feet, we would see a lot more kids of former someone's if it did. Talent is still a requirement for the record companies to justify spending any money on the artist. Are we sheep? A dog barks to your right you run left, another dog barks at your left you run right. Going exactly where they want you to go. Don't follow just because they lead, use your head, your gut and your ears. FORGET WHAT YOU'VE READ HERE Go to www.sarahhudson.com click on Music and Video, watch "Girl on the Verge" listen to "Naked Truth", "Strange" and "I Know" read the lyrics, then come back here and get your copy. It's All Good. Remember, If you don't speak you surely will not be heard. Use your voice remember to Vote in November. " Fresh, Outstanding...don't miss this! Gia | 09/08/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Every once in a while a truly fresh talent crests over the wasteland that is the cookie-cutter manufactured music industry...such is the case with Sarah Hudson. These songs are fresh, hungry, angry, sad, giddy, sexy, powerful pop at its powerful best. There isn't a predictable lyric or melody in there for those with ears tired of the Ashley Simpsons and Brittany Spears...This is a powerful voice, both in sound and on paper...she speaks to generations of gals and does so with a gleeful glint of sly in her eye... This is the music industry's best kept secret...This CD will become your favorite." Same mistakes as Dad . . . NEYKO | 04/11/2006 (2 out of 5 stars) "Sarah Hudson is making the same mistakes her father made 30 years ago when he traded in self-respect to be a "Monkees" characterized entertainer on the short lived "Hudson Brothers" tv show. Now daughter Sarah is being dressed up and marketed, not in the feel good 60s vibe, but the current pseudo postpunk teen angst marketing gimmick. Already beaten to the punch by Fiona Apple and Avril Lavigne, she is behind the curve. Sadly, her immense talent, like her father's, will be lost because she cashed in on the misery gimmick of the movie "Thirteen" and "Kids." Now in her late twenties, she is still dressing up like a miserable high schooler. It is amazing that she has songs about being angry at her folks when a recent documentary shows her so close to her father. A song about how her folks mean to her really would have made her stand out from the crowd. Image over substance takes down another amazing voice. See you in the discount bins Sarah."
