“the CONCERT As Lauryn Hill celebrates livsverket ”The miseducation of Lauryn Hill” because she’s on it – in among beyond recognition.”
“That she and the band spent 20 years in the rehearsal room to find the inner Aretha Franklin.”
“+++nMs. Lauryn Hill – The miseducation of Lauryn Hill 20th anniversary tournPlats: Hovet, Stockholm, sweden. Audience: 8 300 (sold out). Length: 90 minutes. Best: ”Lost ones”, ”To Zion” and ”Doo wop (that thing)”. Worst: the Court has a svårfrånkomlig aura of sausages and hockey.”
“n– If ”The miseducation of Lauryn Hill” changed your life – let me hear some noise!” urges the heating, the dj.”
“Lauryn Hills solo debut is one of those albums that everyone seems to have their story. Here is my.”
“in 1998, my relationship with hip hop summed up in two words: Noel Gallagher. Until I heard ”The miseducation of Lauryn Hill” through the wall to my older sisters room. We drove around and listened to the album in grandpa’s red Volvo 340. It was my guide to hip-hop and soul and has followed me since then.”
“When I got married sang my wife ”Can’t take my eyes off of you” for me. “
“Three years earlier – we had just met when we walked through the Birkastan to see Lauryn Hills concert in the filadelfia church. It would be a nostalgic salvation ended in disappointment. Hill had a rock band that opened up the music with the ground.”
“Now is the Ms. Lauryn Hill – which she now calls itself – back in Sweden to play verging on the whole legendary, five times Grammy-winning and ground-breaking masterpiece. It came after the breakup with the Fugees and Wyclef Jean and which also resulted in a kind of break from the music to the benefit of mammaliv with new partner Rohan Marley, Bob’s son.”
“During the two decades that passed since then, Ms. Lauryn Hill made herself known as the uncompromising diva. ”Miseducation”tour has been marred by set plays and delays.”
“But in the evening she is in time. She looks amazing, dressed as for a fashion photography in beret, black gloves, oversizad jacket and a pettiskirt. In her hand she has a small black handkerchief, which she dries under the eyes. It looks like she dries their tears.”
“On the scene, she recalls a Leonardo da Vinci, who in a moment of feeling decided to paint a jazzskägg on his ”Mona Lisa”. The songs are built on ad absurdum. Ms. Hill makes retrosouliga covers of their own material. It is not at all bad. Just a bit disappointing, since ”The miseducation of Lauryn Hill” is an album where every note, each phrasing, already is in the right place.”
“tonight is Lauryn best when she just lets her rap and vocals to shine. She raps a capella in the ”Final hour,” and are met with immediate cheers. She sings, ”To Zion” smooth and wonderful, so there a little with the left hand only large activist granted. A captivating ”Lost ones”, a strong ”Forgive them father” with pictures of police brutality on the screens and an electric ”Doo wop (that thing)” is also worthy of special mentions.”
“– ”The miseducation of Lauryn Hill” was written about my fascination for love, ” says Lauryn Hill. I was a precocious girl who listened to my parents ‘ music – Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin. I wanted to make my version of the music.”
“She certainly succeeded. “
“”Miseducation” is a 90-century counterpart to the ”What’s going on” and ”Songs in the key of life”.”
“But the memory of the cared for enough, frankly, better on cd than on stage.”
