Kate Hudson is sitting on a folding chair in a studio in Los Angeles’ Fashion District when suddenly the voice of Kate Hudson comes booming through the wall.
The 45-year-old singer and actress is there to shoot a music video for “Right on Time”, a recently released bonus track from a new deluxe edition of her 2024 debut album, Glorious.
A stately ballad that showcases her soaring vocals, “Right on Time” is about Hudson’s film star mother, Goldie Hawn, and it’s bringing a tear to the eye of the woman who wrote it.
“This song makes me emotional,” Hudson says, tilting her head towards the sound. “It’s my mommy, you know?”
Raised between Los Angeles and Colorado by Hawn and Hawn’s long-time partner, actor Kurt Russell, Hudson broke out in Hollywood with her role as a wise if idealistic groupie named Penny Lane in 2000’s rock-obsessed Almost Famous.
