His new album Aguas Profundas is launched globally (Jun 2023) on label Songs & Whispers (Germany), distributed by Broken Silence (Germany) and published by Sentric Music (UK).

“Exploring a blend of inter-cultural music influences with classic 70s troubadour sound he has a strong sense of melody, harmony and – significantly for his genre – groove”

Album Aguas Profundas by Simon Hudson

“A very tender and sincerely crafted folk performance with some heartfelt and well written lyrics. It has a warm and honest approach.” –

We All Want Someone To Shout For for Looking For A Map

Aguas Profundas is the fourth release for Simon, the Australian
singer-songwriter whose highly original music weaves a captivating
blend of world, roots and folk. Aguas Profundas will launch globally in June 2023 through label Songs & Whispers (Germany), distributed by Broken Silence (Germany).

Named Aguas Profundas which means “Deep Waters” in Portuguese, Simon has arrived at a deep and fundamental place with this album. The songs were all written during the lockdowns of the coronavirus pandemic. He experienced the deep joy of getting married and bringing his son into the world. Recorded with Simon’s band in early 2023, Aguas Profundas feels fresh but deep, connected but with a profound undercurrent – like plunging into deep water. It’s a fascinating mix of roots, pop, soul and Latin that connects the dots of this intriguing songwriter’s musical influences.

The first single Looking For A Map (May) with video clip deals with feeling lost during the coronavirus pandemic, and looking for a map to navigate the way out. The second single One More Chance (Jun) asks – when everything seems lost, why not ask the world for one more chance?

“A crisply delivered lead vocal sits with ease amidst rolling guitar waves, a dynamic drum kit backbone pulse and a steady bass low end… Soaring melody lines. Immersive and imaginative lyricism. Backing vocals sit right behind the lead. Plenty of push and pull to the energy/arrangement.”

Simon is a established songwriter, guitarist and percussionist, with influences including The Cat Empire, Jose Gonzalez, Neil Finn, Paul Simon, and Brazil’s Carlinhos Brown. Based in Melbourne, Australia, Simon’s five international tours to Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Brazil, and Cuba have included European festivals, German national radio, Cuban national TV, and pan-American radio.
Simon plays solo, with a 4-piece, and with horns and Brazilian percussion. His previous releases include EP Islands (2020), crowd-funded album Earthman (2016) and EP Time and Space (2012).
