Mr Hudson ft. Kanye West: 'Supernova'

Kanye West, never one for understatement, has spoken in glowing terms about his latest collaborator/friend/protégé, even going so far as to compare Mr Hudson to Frank Sinatra. The result? Awareness of the London-based singer, who had remained on the periphery of the pop landscape with 2007 debut A Tale Of Two Cities, is growing almost as rapidly as Kanye's ego.

Now comes 'Supernova', a blend of the artists' respective talents that should give Hudson his breakthrough hit. The beats are as cool and crisp as anything from West's 808s album, Hudson's impressive vocals twist and turn as effects knobs are twiddled around him, and it all builds to a near-epic crescendo after three minutes of robotic '80s pop. The Sinatra comments are pushing it, but it's easy to see why Kanye's got a little over-excited, because he could have a star in the making here.
