Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Album

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album showcases the distinctive voice and style of the former Fugees singer in an altogether moving and passionate effort. Lauryn Hill puts to shame any of today's hip hop stars and they would do a lot to learn from her. Addressing the birth of her child and her concerns about social issues, Hill's album shines through with a quiet intensity reminiscent of early Aretha. Her sentiments are refreshing; she's emotional without being maudlin, she's devout without being proselytizing, and perhaps most importantly she writes absorbing, eclectic music with roots in many genres ranging from gospel to rock.
