Lauryn Hill Unplugged

Lauryn Hill has finished recording a performance for MTV’s acclaimed Unplugged series that will air late this fall. Hill, who became a pop star and cultural icon with the success of her Grammy winning 1998 solo-debut, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill”, put on a two-hour show of fourteen brand new songs that had a particularly non-commercial feel.

Expressing concern over being dismissed as a “hip-hop folksinger”, the singer who entered the game as lead singer of the Fugees in 1994 explained that she was “tired of frontin”’ for a music industry that she alleges is plagued by materialism and commercialism. No release date has been given yet on Hill’s next solo album.
