Lauryn Hill to release new track
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 21 September 2012
Despite having been accused of various financial and moral misdemeanours in the past several months, Lauryn Hill is nonetheless making moves towards making a ‘comeback’, and thus has confirmed she’ll release a brand new track this autumn. So, any minute now.
Entitled ‘Black Rage’, it will consider what a statement on Hill’s Tumblr terms the “derivative effects of racial inequity and abuse”.
Hill herself, who’ll also co-headline a US tour with Nas in October/November, adds this to the despatch: “I use the performance platform as an opportunity to express the energy of that moment, and the intention behind it. I’ve been a longstanding rebel against the stale, over commoditisation. As artists we have opportunity to help the public evolve, raise consciousness and awareness, teach, heal, enlighten and inspire in ways the democratic process may not be able to touch. So we keep it moving”.
