Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 Barnes Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Wounder Why Ms Hill's Changed, and Why We Don't Hear From Her Anymore? This Album Answears Those Questions!I remember getting this and expecting The Miseducation part 2. Well sort of. After all, it is called "Unplugged" which let's you know there's gonna be quite a bit of acoustics. I just wasn't aware of how much would be acoustic. Lauryn is by far my favorite female artist, and she never ceases to amaze me. She's a very interesting and intelligent human being, and has a great sense of humor to top it off. She's one of my all time favorite singers, and all time favorite lyricists. There have been endless lyrics and poems that more than move me, but none have as much as hers. Ever since I was a kid, I've had a view on life that not too many people understand. After falling in love with the Fugees, I decided to get some of their solo joints, ...

I think that is the point. I loved it and I also love her Miseducation cd. She is truly opening her soul on this album. Maybe this album is just for die hard fans which I am. But I absolutely loved it. Rating: - the best of Lauryn HillThis CD is amazing! She is so talented. She talks about finding her path and being real. The lyrics are beautifully poetic. If you don't believe in god you won't like it. If you do? amazing you can relate to everything she says. I consider it the best of Lauryn Hill. Rating: - Off with the complaints of Irrelevant Facts ! This album is dope.deep. and delicious.this album is for only kind of person and that's the spirtual ones ! Many reviewers have focused on the fact that "her voice is too raspy !" or have said "enough with the guitar!". What ALL those people fail to do is actually listen to the entire album. The woman bluntly states why she appeared and sounded the way she did in the Unplugged session... BLUNTLY ! If you truly listen to what she's saying during the songs/breaks, she's giving us everything we've asked for since the "Miseducation" and that's food for our souls. She's never been more politically blunt, socially alert--although anti, and spiritually entwined with Truth. This album is real. Stop looking for the Lauryn Hill from 98' because she's gone, as she tells you in this show.. simply ... Read More: Rating: - Shocking and Powerful"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. ... Read More: |
