'Sex and the City' movie soundtrack features Fergie, Jennifer Hudson

The details of May 30’s Sex and the City: The Movie have been guarded as zealously as Carrie Bradshaw might seek out a private Manolo Blahnik sale. But director Michael Patrick King is starting to spill. He tells EW that Fergie just recorded the film’s opening number. “It’s called ‘Labels & Love,’ ” he says. “It’s an entirely new song with lyrics, but it has the Sex and the City theme as the DNA — on steroids.”

According to King, the singer feared she’d be too busy with two new singles to record the tune. But when New Line (which is releasing Sex) showed her the film, she changed her mind. And since this is a film about mouthy divas, Jennifer Hudson, who plays Carrie’s assistant, will lend her pipes to the ballad “All Dressed Up in Love” — written by MC Jack Splash and Gnarls Barkley’s Cee-Lo — which plays during the end credits. “She sings it like nobody’s business,” says King. Just as we’d expect.

You better believe Jennifer's song is sung like "nobodys business" Jennifer Hudson voice is supreme. I couldn't imagine a better ending to what I'm sure will be a mega movie!! PS Jen - hurry up and give us the album, movies are cute and all but I want an album :-)

What about India Arie? Her song, "Heart of the Matter" is the highlight of the SATC trailer. Please tell me that song is going to on the soundtrack! That song is a HIT!!!!

I know, I had just heard India's version and LOVED it!!! It's also on her last CD "Testimony". I got it on iTunes last night and am loving the whole CD!! Still can't wait to hear this soundtrack, though!
