Although there are many female artists I have grown to love through my passion of music, an all time beloved of mine has to be ‘Lauryn Hill’, known to many as an ex Fugee’s member and later on married, wife of Rohan Marley.
But this post is not about her life, but about her music. Blessed with a soulful voice, followed by the fact that she can seriously rap, Lauryn has always had deep meaning and great teachings behind her songs. Tittles such as; ‘Lost Ones’, ‘Sweetest Thing’, ‘Ex Factor’, ‘Doo Wop’ and my favourite ‘Turn Your Lights Down Low’ featuring Bob Marley; there are many more these have just came to mind.
I feel as if her music always presents itself as timeless and is structured like a piece of art. A real fact that I love about Lauryn also is that as beautiful and as a true Nubian queen which she is, I’ve never seen her selling sexual content or creating a sexual persona about herself. She has always let the music speak for her. Although she hasn’t come out with an album in years, what she did in her many years in the industry makes her a serious icon to me.
Its funny how this video below shows her at thirteen being booed. I bet they could have never imagined the mark she would make in music today
