"Supernova" is a song by British singer Mr Hudson, featuring American rapper Kanye West. It is Hudson's second single as a solo artist (after "There Will Be Tears"), and his second collaboration with West, after the single "Paranoid" (in which Hudson was the featured artist). "Supernova" was premiered on 13 May 2009, on Zane Lowe BBC Radio Show and then released through Mr Hudson's and Kanye West's blogs.[1] The song was later remixed by Calvin Harris in a more electronic fashion. After being officially released as a single on 19 July 2009, it promptly debuted high on European charts.
"Supernova" was released to iTunes on 19 July 2009 after being able to pre-order throughout the previous week.[2]
