Sunday Brunch Open Thread

December 9, 2012 by pragobots 83 Comments

It’s the Sunday, Funday Brunch. Today’s open thread will focus on the musical stylings of Lauryn Hill.

 

Lauryn Noelle Hill (born May 25, 1975) is an American singer-songwriter, rapper, record producer, and actress. Early in her career, she established her reputation as an actress in Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit, and then as the front woman of the hip-hop group Fugees. In 1998, she launched her solo career with the release of the critically successful album and the 19m-seller, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.  The album earned Hill five Grammy Awards, including the coveted Album of the Year and Best New Artist.  To date, she has won a total of eight Grammys. 

Following the success of her debut album, Hill co-produced the commercially successful Supernatural for Carlos Santana, in 1999,  for which she won another grammy for album of the year. This made her the only female artist to win two album of the year https://www.glenerinpharmacy.com/buy-viagra-online/ grammys consecutively, which set a record for most album of the year wins by a female artist (tied with Norah Jones). Shortly after this she mainly dropped out of public view, in part due to her displeasure with fame and the music industry. After a four-year hiatus, she released MTV Unplugged No. 2.0, a live recording of “deeply personal songs” performed mostly solo with an acoustic guitar.

In more recent years, she has recorded songs for soundtracks and mixtapes, as well as performing live at several music festivals, such as Coachella. She has also collaborated with artists, such as Ronald Isley, and Joss Stone.  She has six children, five of whom are with Rohan Marley, one of reggae musician Bob Marley’s sons.
