Just last week UK artist Mr Hudson finally dropped his debut solo album Straight No Chaser in the U.S.  On his YouTube page Hudson posted a number of behind-the-scenes featurettes that show how much effort he put into making the record.  I embedded my favorite video above; it’s a peek at how the killer track “Time” was constructed.  The video shows how frustration can be turned into a fine work of art with some hard work and perseverence.  Watching Hudson figure out the song’s skeleton on the piano and then peering into the studio to see him listen to a mastered version of it is quite satisfying.  Look after the break for the making of “Anyone But Him” and “Everything Is Broken”, with appearences by Kanye West and Kid Cudi, respectively.  And if you haven’t downloaded the album yet, get it here.
