Sarah Hudson has strong velvet vocals, and this is a crunching CD that can't be missed!

i love this cd! the only song that i don't like is "fake rain." it seems very out of place on this cd, where its either kinda ranting at the world or poppy. it seems she attempted to do a love song or something and it fell flat.

i like her voice and i am looking forward to more cds from her. definitely a good buy!

AMAZING, FUN, IN YOUR FACE!
I love this girl, it's pop/rock/sarcastic and truthful. You can tell she knOws where she's been and where she's going and both don't seem to be gold plated but still seem to make her shine. The title track gets put on repeat, a lot! I also love the tounge in cheekness of Ghandi and the honesty of Strange. Buy it and play it LOUD!

Sarah Hudson might not have garnered the accolade she deserved upon her debut album Naked Truth's release, but that's not because she lacks talent. On the contrary, this hardcore redheaded pseudo-punk rocker has quite a lot of it actually. From her bare-all lyrics in the title track (in which she claims, "You can hate me, but what do I care?" reassuringly enough you actually believe her) to her middle-of-the-line semi-irresistible beats, there's no denying this "girl on the verge" has some admirable abilities. Lead single "Girl On The Verge" is a guilty pleasure, combining electronic instrumentation with real instruments and an incredibly catchy guitar riff. "I might be all messed up and confused, but I still wouldn't want to be you," she says, and despite its suicide-minded opening lyric ("I'm having stupid suicial thoughts") this track is really all about realizing you're you and embracing yourself. "Naked Truth," like "Girl On The Verge," is a confessional pseudo-punk rock track that begins with an acoustic guitar strum that is instantly engaging; "You can hate me, but what do I care? Everything from the tatoo on my wrist to the color of my hair," Sarah snarls in the opening lines. Like the aforementioned "Girl On The Verge," "Naked Truth" discusses a not-so-happy childhood with the blame largely put on her parents ("I already forgive you, Mom and Dad, how could you know anyway?" she asks). The song is a great listen not only for its nice melody, but because of Hudson's honest lyrics (she co-writes, you see) and earnest vocal delivery--you actually believe what she's singing about (can Britney Spears say the same?). "Ghandi" is an interesting song with an even more interesting lyric, and once again the redhead delivers an impressive vocal performance. The remainder is well-produced filler, with a few iffy tracks here and there, but nothing nasty enough to drag Naked Truth down far. Overall, Sarah Hudson is one of the more believable pseudo-punk rock chicks in recent years and her impressive debut deserves more credit than it received.

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..
