Editorial Reviews

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasently Suprised, April 18, 2005
I love Sarah Hudson's album for several reasons. She speaks the truth in her lyrics, she's got a real voice, and her songs are all great. This CD beats Avril Lavigne, Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, etc. by a mile. My favroite songs are Girl On the Verge, Strange, I Know, Little, Gandhi, and Bad Habit. So go, grab the keys, buy this album now!

2.0 out of 5 stars Same mistakes as Dad . . ., April 11, 2006
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh, Outstanding...don't miss this!, September 7, 2004
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Forgettable, narcissistic teenage angst.
Sounds OK, but not worth the disk space on my computer or ipod. I don't mind listening to it, but I certainly wouldn't seek it out. Mediocre. Yadda yadda..
