"Jennifer is a vocal wonder, a tremendously gifted artist," Arista founder Clive Davis said. "Her extraordinary voice gives her a signature sound and distinguishes her from every singer on the horizon today. Jennifer is a very exciting new addition to the Arista family."
The label has a history of producing successful female singers such as Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin.
"Clive Davis is a legend and I feel more than honored to be associated with him," Hudson said of her decision.
