Single produced by will.i.am
Jennifer Hudson has officially released her cover of the classic “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” produced by will.i.am.
Her impassioned rendition of the 1967 staple made famous by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell originally appeared in her new MasterCard commercial. As part of the payment technology company’s “Striver’s Initiative,” the ad features a show-stopping performance by Hudson which serves as the soundtrack to a visual journey featuring black women-owned businesses from across the country who have faced adversity and challenge and continue to thrive.
One of the biggest, boldest, and brightest voices in contemporary music, Jennifer Hudson stands alone. Not only is she a two-time GRAMMY Award winner and best-selling author, but she has received an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a Daytime Emmy, and countless other honors as an actress. Her self-titled 2008 debut Jennifer Hudson earned a platinum certification, the 2011 follow-up I Remember Me went gold, and 2014’s JHUD drew a GRAMMY nod.
She has starred in films ranging from Dreamgirls and Sex and the City to Chi-Raq and Sing, in addition to taking over Broadway in The Color Purple, for which the soundtrack garnered Hudson another GRAMMY win. Along the way, she became a best-selling author and served as a coach on The Voice UK and U.S. In 2019, she appeared as Grizabella in the big-screen adaptation of Cats, and she also contributed “I’ll Fight” to the critically acclaimed documentary RBG, garnering an Academy Award nomination. In 2021, she stars as Aretha Franklin in director Liesl Tommy’s highly anticipated biopic Respect, of which she is also an executive producer. Franklin personally chose Hudson to star.
Hudson will be releasing new music soon.
