Jennifer Hudson features on newly released single from A Strange Loop cast recoding

Jennifer Hudson features on a newly released single from the Broadway cast recording of A Strange Loop.

Boundaries has been released today by Ghostlight Records and Yellow Sound Group, featuring Jennifer Hudson who became an EGOT winner when she won her Tony Award as a co-producer of the show.

The track from Michael R. Jackson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning musical is available on streaming and digital platforms now from Ghostlight.lnk.to/BoundariesFtJenniferHudson

The new release sees the song from the show reimagined into a single with a brand-new arrangement for Hudson.

“The first time I met Jennifer, I told her that I always thought of her as a cousin in my head,” said Michael R. Jackson, who tweaked some of the lyrics to make them special for Hudson’s version of the song after hearing the exciting new arrangement.

“It is a true honour to have ‘my cousin’ bring her signature vocals and sincerity to one of my earliest songs. This rendition touches me more deeply than she will ever know.”

It is produced by Michael Croiter and David Cook, who also serves as the song’s arranger and orchestrator. The vocal arrangement is by George Huff. Barbara Whitman and Kurt Deutsch are the executive producers. Jennifer Hudson appears courtesy of Epic Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment.

The original Broadway Cast Recording of A Strange Loop, which was nominated for a 2023 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album, is currently available here.
