ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Your album is done?
JENNIFER HUDSON Finally! The album! Really, this is what I've been waiting for, dreaming of my whole life. It's just a matter of narrowing down [the song choices]. I've got the jitters because it's my first album and a lot of people don't realize that. Everybody thinks I did that already: ''This is your second or third album.'' I'm like, No, this is my first album.

Tell me about ''All Dressed in Love,'' the song you recorded for the film.
Cee-Lo and Jack Splash wrote it, and Salaam [Remi] produced it. It's very Sex and the City.
You mean it's about shoes?
That's the great part about it: They took the themes of the film, how it's about fashion and love, and put it together. Michael Patrick King knew what he wanted and he didn't stop until he got it.

Cute song! Very "old school". I can imagine people on roller skates going round the rink with a disco ball shining. Fun summertime music.
