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.
