Albums First Released in 1998
Electronic music, hip hop and R&B shaped much of 1998, while major pop artists absorbed club production. Among the defining albums released in 1998 were The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill, Moon Safari by Air, Mezzanine by Massive Attack and Ray of Light by Madonna.
Lauryn Hill joined rap, soul and reggae in a personal album; Air made electronic music feel domestic and melodic; Massive Attack deepened trip hop; and Madonna worked with William Orbit to rebuild her sound.

Our Pick of the Year: The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill joins rap, soul and reggae around songs about love, responsibility and independence. Doo Wop (That Thing), Ex-Factor and Everything Is Everything move easily between singing and rapping without splitting the album into separate styles. Its schoolroom interludes give the record a simple frame without overexplaining it.
