Free Music Review: Shocking and Powerful
Hit: 5 Stars
"The Miseducation of Lauren Hill" was an amazing album that revealed an amazing talent both lyrically and vocally. It rose above the mainstream with an unpretentious grace that is perhaps unrivaled. With that said, this performance makes it seems like a watered down version of what we could have had.
I think when most of us see the truth, we are moved, but only for a moment. It is too painful to hold onto or give into. It means changing who we are. It means dealing with all the still sensitive scars. It requires us to be vulnerable, and that is somehow too great a price to pay, even for everything worthwhile.
I can't say I know Lauryn Hill, but I know that on this day of recording, she was willing to pay that price. What a shock it is to hear honesty. It's an honesty we don't even find in church without a battle. I'm not surprised it was controversial, and it seems a little comical to see the MTV logo on the package. The lyrics are completely brilliant, but the message is paramount in this humble package, and she comes simply. Dressed like she is among friends, she keeps things simple with only a guitar, but somehow even with the simple chords, it carries more power than most showboating musicians have ever come close to.
Not only is this one of the best albums I've ever heard, but I feel truly grateful for it. It's something very different.
MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 Poster
Lauryn Hill has loudly (and justifiably) been declared a brilliant artist already in her young career, and MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 will do nothing to dissuade anyone. This double-CD acoustic set contains snippets from her debut album, but most of it is new material that Hill performs with raw, shockingly honest intensity. Coming on the heels of a well-publicized period of depression and unhappiness for the ex-Fugees singer, Hill's reenergized outlook is plainly evident in this stripped-down performance--it's basically just Hill and her unplugged guitar--as well as the highly spiritual nature of the material. Cutting across musical styles from bossa nova ("Just Like Water") to Marley-esque rebel songs ("Oh Jerusalem," "The Conquering Lion," "Freedom Time"), the singer's voice is throaty and rough throughout, giving the performance an earthy, heartfelt pull. It's a deeply personal performance, filled with blistering social commentary and the evils of self-delusion while detailing her ongoing attempt to escape from the public persona her fame has created. In destroying her old artistry, she discovers a new creative force, yielding a mesmerizing and enchanting classic. --Jake BarnesR&B Music CDs
