Powerhouse vocalist, Judith Hill releases her song “Baby, I’m Hollywood” which is off her upcoming album with the same title.
The Grammy-winning artist reveals this electrifying rock/soul anthem ahead of her album which is expected to drop on the 5th of March this year.
In the powerful visual, Judith catapults between the highs and lows of life in the spotlight, showing off both the glamour and the struggles in her pursuit of music. Oozing with classic rock and funk, the new single is both a song of heartbreak and a powerful self-love anthem.
Judith Hill Explains Her Single!
“‘Baby, I’m Hollywood!’ personifies Hollywood as a woman,” Hill explains. “The music captures her free spirit, yet lyrically, it underlines the pain she has endured. It is very much a reflection of my life and how it has been growing up in the entertainment business. The show must always go on and yet you learn how to put your pain in the songs…. that is what makes the stage so visceral and alive. Beyond the lights and glamour, there is depth. I wanted to show that side of Hollywood and give the word a different feeling.”
“Baby, I’m Hollywood!” follows “Americana,” the album’s provocative debut single calling for change and challenging what it means to be an American. The upcoming 13-track album will follow her 2018 album release Golden Child and was self-produced by Hill herself.

To promote her new album, Hill has sponsored a contest where 5 winners will receive private vocal lessons from the Grammy-winning star herself. Those who wish to enter can fill out and submit an entry form before the release of her album on March 5. Details for the contest can be found here.
This past November, Hill also opened the 2020 NBA Draft telecast on ESPN with an exclusive performance of “Thank You,” a bonus track from Baby, I’m Hollywood. Hill and her inspirational anthem were the voice of this year’s NBA Draft campaign.
