The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ was released on August 25, 1998. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill has 16 songs, and it’s 1 hour 17 minutes long. She has three albums, MTV Unplugged No. 2.0, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, and The Score. Some of her most popular songs are Killing Me Softly With Song, Doo-Wop (That Thing), Ex-Factor, Fu-Gee-La.
My favorite songs on The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill are: Tell Him, Doo-Wop (That Thing), Ex-Factor, To Zion (Ft. D’Angelo) and Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You (I Love You, Baby). Not only are the vocals great in these songs, but they have great meanings behind them. Doo-Wop is talking about warning men and women about people who are only interested in That Thing. Ex-Factor’ talks about a relationship that is toxic and tiring, the chorus goes, “No matter how I think we grow, you always seem to let me know It ain’t working (it ain’t working, no), it ain’t working. And when I try to walk away You’d hurt yourself to make me stay. This is crazy, this is crazy (oh, this is crazy, uh-huh).”
Some other great lyrics in Ex-Factor are, “It could all be so simple (ba-ba-ba-baby, baby, baby) But you’d rather make it hard (huh, uh) Loving you is like a battle; (it’s like a battle)…And we both end up with scars.”
Lauryn Hill is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She is regarded as one of the most influential artists of her generation. I would highly recommend this album if you enjoy R&B.
