Jennifer Hudson is ready to get back to her roots, and fans cannot wait.
Though the Dreamgirls actress, now the host of her eponymous talk show, has largely left the music industry save for occasional, impromptu performances, fans have never forgotten her incredible voice.
Now, she is ready to make a comeback, starting with one major step to make it "official."
Jennifer delighted fans on Thursday as she took to Instagram to announce that music from her is coming very soon, a whopping ten years since her last solo original album, JHUD, in 2014.
In the new video, she is seen driving, taking a big breath, and revealing she was on her way to sign a new record deal.
"It's major," she declared, adding: "I'm very excited. It is a beautiful day. This is what I worked my whole life for, so it's a special, special day, and I thank God."
Jennifer appeared both reflective and nervous, as she further shared: "It is an amazing time right now, it really is," before admitting that she is definitely "tired" but the "anxiety" wakes her up.
