AceShowbiz - Jennifer Hudson is back with a new song. The Grammy-winning musician unveiled an emotional track titled "Burned Down" and its accompanying music video on Tuesday, December 12. The track follows Hudson's previous hit "Remember Me", which was released in April.
The four-minute visuals, which is directed by Sam Lecca, finds the Chicago beauty playing the piano while singing about a rocky relationship in an abandoned warehouse. Donning an all-white ensemble, Hudson steps away from the piano to sing the chorus a cappella towards the end of the clip.
"When I lay this burden down/ Who's gonna take it up for me/ When you run me in the ground/ That's the day you're gonna see/ For all I've done I'm alone," she rhymes. "Just for a moment can I not be strong/ So how 'bout now oh can I lay/ This burden down."
"Burden Down" is the second single off Hudson's highly-anticipated fourth studio album, which still doesn't have a title yet. The effort is set to be released next year via Epic Records. It will be a follow-up to her previous album "JHUD", which was released on September 23, 2014.
Hudson, who recently split from her fiance David Otunga, performed the new track for the first time when she hit the stage in Tuesday, December 12 episode of "The Voice". Teaming up her gorgeous white dress and oversized fur coat with a long braid, Hudson sang the song while playing piano. The crowd went wild when the "I Still Love You" hitmaker suddenly got up from the piano and sang the final lyrics a capella. The audience could be heard cheering and applauding after Hudson finished her performance.
Also at the show, it was announced that none of her artists, Noah Mac and Davon Fleming, made it to the finals.
