Editor's note

Lauryn Hill's gospel roots and solo breakthrough

From The Fugees' 'Killing Me Softly' to the raw intimacy of 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill'.

If you want to hear what all the fuss is about, start with 'Ex-Factor' and 'Doo Wop (That Thing)'. They frame that whole moment perfectly.

Her 1998 solo debut 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' wasn't just another R&B record. It pulled from gospel, soul, hip-hop, and reggae all at once, with songs like 'Doo Wop (That Thing)' and 'Ex-Factor' feeling both personal and universal. That mix of styles and directness gave the album its weight, and it's why people still talk about it decades later.

She grew up singing in Newark church choirs before joining The Fugees in 1994. After their album 'The Score' took off, she made 'The Miseducation' in 1998 and never released another full studio album like it, though tracks like 'Black Rage' and 'I've Got Life' surfaced later.
